Text description provided by the architects. Delhi’s existing neighborhoods have traditionally been defined by 2 story houses set back from the tree-lined road and buffered from it by a front garden. This relationship has been altered by the new planning regulations that permit taller structures, consuming greater area and with reduced setbacks. The resulting urban condition creates the sensation of buildings imposing themselves on the street and within the homes, the absence of green cover/courtyards and light are palpable. The ground plane, formerly garden and patio/living spaces, has been given over to parking, eliminating any meaningful connection to the street outside.
