Joseph House is a home within Eagleton Golf Resort in the bustling industrial town of Bidadi, situated around the outskirts of Bangalore. Set within the serene bounds of the Resort, Joseph House is an attempt to create a rustic, simple, easy to maintain yet unique home for its owners, Mr. & Mrs. Cheeran Joseph. The site lies at one corner of the Eagleton campus bound by unbuilt sites on three sides and an access road on the fourth.

Joseph House sits effortlessly on this lawn melding with it through the deep overhangs and openings facing the tree. While the house seems to nestle itself in the expansive shade of this tree, it has also been designed to interact with and benefit from northern light, with almost all openings towards the north, also comprising skylights within along-with potted skylights to create its own internal shadows and textural interplays with light, somewhat mimicking the tree through different positions of the sun across the day. 

On the outside, the house boldly showcases its materiality – a delicately layered vertical sandwich of white plastered walls, teal pergolas and fins, exposed brick and glass. Each material is expressed, and every transition is clearly visible in this play of materials, making the house interesting while being earthy - the rust colour of the brick holds together visually the whites of the plaster and greys of the floating roofs on either side.

Internally, the houses core is planned in a linear manner, maintaining its axis along the tree and creating one fluid space that flows from the front to the back. The rest of the house is an addition of layers along the sides of this central portion. The central space, is constituted by the common areas, the living followed by a double-heighted skylit section and the similarly double-heighted dining, with the peeking kitchen beside. As one progresses into the intimate spaces of the house, one encounters a shift in topography with the rust of the brick framing the teal of the hand-painted walls and railings, mounted by a translucent glass sky-walk to connect the bedrooms with the family area on the second level.

The site generally embodies a similar openness, benefited by site regulations of low boundary walls, which have been facilitated by the architects by designing a wire mesh boundary wall on three sides and a cinder filled gabion-wall at the front giving the site a vast connected appearance since it is surrounded by vacant plots. 

Joseph House is a living and breathing extension of its surroundings with a touch of creative modernity to harmonise the verisimilitude of natural simplicity.
