The site is situated on the outskirts of the city and is surrounded by farmlands. The client provided no brief for his requirements as such because he is a recurring client for us. We had designed a residence for them in the past. As the client has an extensive understanding of Vastu shastra, his only comprehensive brief was regarding Vastu shastra. It was far too simple for us to build our concept because the client gave us complete liberty to design as per our vision. The house is placed in the southwest corner of the site giving a long driveway and a lawn area on the east side of the house and the northern half of the site has been dedicated to a fruit orchard as the client wanted to cultivate fruits. The client and his family are actively involved in spiritual activities like meditation and are devotees of H.H.Sri Sri Ravishankarji which inspired us to design all the spaces to depict peace and tranquillity. The colour palette for each space has been chosen to make one feel calm and peaceful. The puja room and the connected open-to-air meditation court (which is surrounded by a water body) in the east are designed keeping the client’s interests in mind. The central open space from the traditional Indian homes ‘Chowk’ inspired the design of this dwelling. We have attempted to build the home while keeping in mind the notions of traditional houses, in which the chowk (central courtyard) is the space where the majority of the house's activities took place.
