This project is located near Auroville and is an experiment on low cost residential architecture with a focus on usability and climate responsive design.

A 1000 sq.ft in size, it is a simple 2 bedroom house, with compact spaces and carefully chosen material that can respond to the weather as well as the spatial experience that we desired to achieve. Simple features – such as the living room opening out into a water body – gives the house a feeling of luxurious spaces at the same time holding minimalism as its primary motto.

The structure is RCC framed with CSEB walls as fill-ins. We have emphasized on the usability factor, with plenty of inbuilt cupboards, a large enough kitchen, a compact yet well-designed bathroom/ toilet, thereby not compromising on the client’s day-to-day experience in his home due to a tight budget.

It is an open floor plan, with plenty of opening to allow for natural light and ventilation. The first floor roof is sloped mangalore tiles with insulation below.
