The centrally placed courtyard provides light to all the spaces and also provides air
movement due to induced ventilation through the openings on the walls. The site is east
facing and has a vast public green space on the North side . The internal court also
extends as a water body along the breadth of the building, which is oriented in the
direction of the wind and helps in controlling the internal environment.

ANALYSIS

Based on the climatologically factors, the building is rotated towards the northern sides (to
have maximum fenestration avoiding the harsh rays of the sun during the day) and a
continuous water channel is introduced in the direction of the prevailing winds which aids in
maintaining the micro-climate of the interiors. This also creates a strong connect between
the landscape spaces on the south and the north sides.

This house is an attempt to create a level of privacy within the

urban environment, where the users could interact with each
other and nature as playfully as possible. Keeping all the formal
layers of life aside and take a pause from the busy life of the city.
