This home in Bhusawal was initiated in the nostalgia of 'Doodhbaori', the ancestral home in the heart of Hyderabad, near the iconic Charminar, that held not just bricks and mortar but cherished memories for the siblings making this house. The decision to construct a twin house building emerged from a desire to recreate the magic of this ancestral home, fostering togetherness with shared spaces like gardens, verandahs, and terraces. They spoke of the times when they would all gather in the courtyard for games, on the terraces in the evening for kite flying, and in the verandah every morning to see the processions. There was no such place defined to eat, sleep, or gather; the home served as a space in union. Even though we could not see the pictures, their stories could stitch it all.

'Humanscape' emerges from a simple yet profound understanding of 'Human' and 'landscape.' As designers, our goal is to capture the subtle moments of time and recreate them in the spaces we craft. Humanscapes come to life when memories and lessons learned are molded into dwellings—spaces that resonate with and respect the natural environment around us. The concept of 'Humanscape' took root four years ago when we carved a basement into the natural slope of a residential site. With no preconceived plans, hands worked intuitively to lay the shuttering. Light wells and access points emerged in response to this raw process, with two walls shared with underground water tanks and the other two supporting soil up to half their height.
