The Site Conditions: The site was South Facing of size 40’ x 50’. On all three sides, i.e. east, north & west, massive constructions in excess of 30’ height surround the plot. The northern & eastern neighbors had abutted the site considerably making this Bangalore Architect rethink the overall strategy of design. The property could be accessed through a narrow road which imposed other limitations as to visibility of the house & its access. This posed a challenge for design of the facade as the client also insisted that the basic layout of the house be as per Vaastu.

The Front Facade It is a contemporary design incorporating positives & negatives with colour as the highlighting tool. The overhead water tank was incorporated into the façade as can be seen in the tower-like projection painted in blue. The Good Life

A private sit-out with hard – scaped exposed brickwork as flooring & hoordie block wall cladding added a touch of the ‘rustic’ to the architecture. It was not possible to have a garden because the sit-out was located on the sump tank. The sit-out has been interspersed with stone benches & a stone teapoy to further add to the rustic touch. The sit-out also acts as a space expander to the living room. More on this at 3.ly/bangarch
