This house is designed for a Gujarati family of 5 persons in the city of Gandhinagar and adjoining agricultural farmland. The brief was to create a dwelling where everyone is connected during the day and feels a space that is connected to an adjoining agricultural farm. The resulting organisation is a concrete linear mass of horizontal and vertical expanse and spaces opening on the agricultural farm on the east and a private garden on the north. The concrete mass carves out terraces on the edges and a double-height space in the centre. The layout encourages the use of outdoor shaded spaces to enjoy the expanse of agricultural farmland.

The outer form is intended to have a stark formation carving out open spaces and openings responding to the farms on the north, the internal street on the south and the private garden on the east. Externally the house selectively opens in different directions to cut down heat gain within the house. It carves out spaces which are more shaded and these become sources of light and ventilation thereby relying less on mechanical illumination or ventilation. Also, existing neem trees have been retained to benefit from the shade it will cast in spaces below and on the vertical surfaces which keeps spaces more comfortable.

The external and internal materiality keep in sync with the simplicity of the city of Gandhinagar where green spaces form an integral part. The local materials have been used in the form of reclaimed Valsadi wood in door windows and furniture, and Kotah stone in flooring.
