Is architecture a part of the landscape or vice versa? How can design enhance the sense of Place? In order to consider the building in question, the foremost impression is that it contributes to the overall identity and character of the site. Contextual architecture seeks to create buildings that feel like a natural extension of their surroundings, enhancing the aesthetic and functional value of a place. It is an approach to design that considers the surrounding environment, culture, and historical context of a building's location. The goal is to create structures that harmonize with their surroundings and complement the existing landscape and built environment.

While we were attuned to building homes and weekend houses, designing a place that feels like a weekend house required us to rethink the very concept of a house. Set in a typical gated community with a dense urban fabric, House of Concrete Walls is a response to this rather unusual brief. Striving to constantly be in dialogue with the outside, the house creates an experience of living amidst the serenity of nature.

This is a farmhouse. It is a humble residence that has responded to the climate and site. It is a fun fact that the house is both an inward and outward-looking house at the same time. One of the USPs of the project would be that it connects well with the most playful element of nature – the sun through its dynamic perforated screens and courtyards that animate the spill-out spaces with playful shadows throughout the day. The site situates itself on the outskirts of Baroda near a village named Aampad.

As part of climatic considerations, passive design strategies and planning principles have been incorporated.

Embracing the charm of concrete monolithic elements and unique patterns set on exposed RCC with the concept of fluidity throughout the structure. The sense of raw brutalism of exposed concrete has garnered huge attention in the global design industry. Raw materials like concrete, steel, and architectural glass evoke effortless charm, something that people from the top tier are taking note of. Concrete homes have fast emerged as stylish, practical, and versatile housing solutions that can adapt to different landscapes and settings.

Set in a mundane neighborhood in the city of Vadodara surrounded by residential and commercial plots, the Floating Courtyard House is a response to the client’s brief of wanting a unique and functional home. Rooted in simplicity and minimalism, it stands there strikingly and completely in harmony with its surroundings to provide the user with a house that they can call their home. Day by day everyone’s house is becoming bigger and bigger. At such times, one has to think beyond usual when a client approaches with a requirement of a five-bedroom house on an extremely compact site of 1770 sq. ft. The site, upon excluding the mandatory setbacks, elicits just the bare minimum floor space for the house.

The Grey Box Office / TRAANSPACE

Hana Abdel — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 19:00:00 +0000

Set on a plot of 3800 sq. ft. amidst the city of Vadodara, this office building is surrounded by bungalows and other offices on all sides presenting a very mundane envelope to look upon every day. We strongly believe, workspace is more like a second home. It is that single space where we tend to spend most hours of the day. In a city like Vadodara, where the climate is hot and dry more or less throughout the year, it is devastating to see majority of the office buildings as glass boxes. They tend to present great views but restricted access to fresh air and outside environment.
