The Inside Out House by Modo Designs

The inside-out house stands on a five thousand square yard plot on Bopal Ambli road; one of the most posh areas in western part of Ahmedabad. This four-bedroom house design caters to a family of four, consisting of owners and their two daughters. The brief was to create a house that is open, well-ventilated, and all the bedrooms overlooking the vast backyard garden, considering security as one of the major priorities. The concept began by mapping the existing trees on the site where some mango trees were incorporated in the primary layout designs. The layouts further explored the possibilities of integrating archtypal courtyards which can blend with the interior spaces.

The inner and outer courtyards are the soul of the house. Introducing these dual courtyards that segregate the front and the rear bay of the house was the most challenging aspect. Also, to address issues of security, rains and dust in the inner court where living, dining and formal drawing opens, operable louvers were introduced that can be shut or kept open during different times of the day. Whereas, the outer court is kept open to sky with sliding wood screens on the garden side to secure the space at night yet allowing breeze into the spaces.

The exterior of the house is a monolithic form of exposed concrete while security purpose is fulfilled by wooden screens, both materials complimenting each other. The lower spaces of the house have full-height glass to connect the outdoors and indoors, whereas the bedrooms have wooden louvers to address privacy. As for the interiors, the entire house is intended as a flow of spaces, modulating light and changing vistas.
