The main prerequisite of the Client was to design the house in accordance with 24 directions of Vastu. In addition The requirement was also to design 2 exact same houses for 2 families on 2 amalgamated plots.

The overall master plan of the site is designed with 2 houses placement and a drive way surrounded by green islands. Both house placements offers central garden view along with a private garden view. The areas near the houses are designed as green islands of contours with various heights, colours and textures. Exposed rcc, exposed brick and brown kota being the prime material pallet of the house, we wanted the greens to be prominent too.

The house is designed around 2 Brahmasthans of both individual plots, which we address as the courtyard of the house. The courtyard is surrounded by built up on 3 sides and an exquisite screen on the North side. While conceptualising the house, we always wanted to visualise the courtyard while entering the house. The courtyard reflects both vibrancy and warmth to the house. Courtyard landscape proportion and textures sums up the cozy yet open concept of the home.

The landscape design of the house comprises of various textures such as cobblestones, lawn, contours, lotus pond and more than 120 species of plants. The sunken seating behind the second home has the beautifully grown Khijdaa tree, kept as a central part of the seating area. The soothing part of this house is to see greens when you enter or exit the house. Lotus pond is located right in front of the main door, with lots of purple lilies and Badaam canopies.

The aim was to design a timeless premise keeping all the three aspects architecture, interiors and landscape.
