House of Temple Tree

1. The traditional courtyard concept was implemented vertically as per the client’s ideation to stick to his roots. The playful arrangement of the spaces created a central breakout zone which acts as a transition in between the levels. 2. In this design strategy, transitional spaces such as the staircase and double-height space form an axis that provides visual connectivity. This transition space allows the people to connect visually not just horizontally but also vertically. 3. This common transition on the floors has segregated the active and passive spaces of a residence. All the spaces are lit with the natural light blushing the rare walls with interesting sciography throughout the day via the skylight. This is defined by the play of light and vision. This double-height brings natural light into each room and space when the sunlight pours down in the middle of the building and creates a sense of vertical dynamic feel. Plans 1. The ground floor is designed with parking at the front and with a garden space next to it. The intent of green is shown on the ground floor to provide natural ventilation to the users. 2. As we ascend to the upper floors it shows the intricate connection of spaces with transitional spaces which becomes the ingenuity of the residence. The courtyard acts as a welcoming element to space. Right next to the courtyard the family area sits on the corner side of the floor that overlooks the balcony facing the north to glaze the early morning, evening vibes which provoke the activeness throughout the day. The bedrooms are placed to the rear which secludes the privacy from the active communal spaces. 3. The yoga /multipurpose is placed on the north to glaze the tranquil sensations of ventilation in different parts of the day, to the contrast study room is placed to the south-east to defy the evening passive ventilation. Though all the spaces are weaved in an intricate pattern they always tend to connect to the transition space which provides the supervision to other spaces. 4. The terrace opens to outdoor seating and garden area on one side and shaded pergola seating on the other with the skylight in the centre.
