Text description provided by the architects. Located in the bustling town of Muzaffarnagar, India, The Hem House designed by Portal 92 is a residential refurbishment and redevelopment project sprawling across an area of 3400 sqm. The former establishment presented itself as two asymmetrical residential structures, that required stitching up to create an illusion of oneness. With a design intent to hem the two houses together, the façade was reconfigured to achieve a homogenous appearance. This was attempted by engaging in a pursuit to achieve a vague sense of symmetry in an inherently asymmetric system.
