Nestled within the bustling streets of Surat, Gujarat, this architectural gem stands as a testament to thoughtful design amidst dense urbanity. Situated on a corner plot amidst rows of houses, the site boasts a strategic positioning, with its longer façade embracing the eastern horizon along the main access road, while the southern boundary aligns with a tertiary street. When our discerning client approached us, two key directives emerged; a strict limitation on built-up area not exceeding 3500 sq. ft., despite the surplus space available, and a keen desire for bedroom balconies to open towards the main access road, fostering a symbiotic relationship with the vibrant neighbourhood.

In response to these directives and mindful of the site's context, our design ethos revolved around optimizing spatial arrangements to ensure each area receives ample natural light and ventilation. Wind direction emerged as a crucial consideration, with prevailing southerly and southwesterly breezes dictating strategic design interventions. By subtly slanting the double wall on the southern facade, we orchestrated a choreography that welcomed the winds into the communal spaces and bedrooms, ensuring a constant flow of fresh air throughout the residence.
