The brief was to design a residential space for a family of five members. The client is a business man by profession and passionate about photography of wildlife animals. The brief was to design a home with openness between the green spaces and the built form while maintaining adequate privacy from adjoining plots. The site with an area of 5614sq.ft. is located in a gated community in Anand, Gujarat.

The “Vithalesh” has a linear plot offering ideal amount of frontage, allowing the built to be arranged at back providing pleasant landscape with Royal Palms in front. The entry passage leads to floating staircase with lily pond continuing to a metal covered hanging canopy,flanked by a beautiful semi-covered sitting overlooking lush green bed. The front elevation is composed with openable aluminium screens giving an impression of beautiful ranges of mountains and emitting light through circular voids at night.
