House Of Angles

The design process for this house was thoroughly enjoyed and resulted in unique elements, such as black ribbed cladding made of Basalt stone. After experimenting with samples of various stones, Basalt was chosen for its aesthetic appeal on the west-facing facade, featuring 20mm deep ribs at a 45-degree angle that create interesting shadows and depth as sunlight moves across the exterior. Additional design elements include the use of brass strips in flooring, creating patterns in rooms and guiding movement in corridors. Angular nuances are carried throughout the home in door designs, floor patterns, ceiling designs, and artifacts. Interiors are chic and elegant, with furniture from top brands such as Wriver by Alsorg, Stanley, Bo-concept, Cairo, Iota, and Gulmohar Lane, lighting by White Teak and Litomatic, and art selected by Priyanka Arjun to complement the spaces they are placed in. The paintings by Tejendra Singh, Sanjay Prajapati, Jivan Biswas, and Dipankar elevate the overall experience of the home.

The angular shape of the building is a strategic design choice that aims to harness the power of wind to improve the airflow within the structure. By having a shape that is specifically designed to capture the wind, the building can maintain optimal airflow throughout, ensuring that the interior spaces stay well-ventilated. This not only enhances the comfort of the occupants but also helps to improve energy efficiency by reducing the need for mechanical ventilation systems.

The use of GRC jaali pattern on the west side of the building adds an interesting dynamic element to the design. Jaali is an architectural element that is commonly used in traditional Indian architecture, typically made of stone or metal and used as a screen or partition. The use of a jaali pattern on the west side of the building creates large openings that allow natural light to filter through, creating interesting shadows and light effects throughout the day. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the corridors but also helps to reduce the dependence on artificial lighting during the day. Additionally, The large openings also aid in passive cooling and improve the thermal comfort of the space.
