    The 720 sq.mt. villa is located within a precinct of houses belonging to an extended family. The house was built with an ecological vision, translating the climate and client's needs into an authentic dwelling through its context and craftsmanship. Private living spaces sit between informal green courts, creating a spatial relationship between the interior and exterior through Mughal garden patterns. The entrance features a contrasting crimson red sandstone frame around the solid timber gateway, adding human scale and marking the arrival to the two-storied mass.

    The key takeaways are that the house was designed with an ecological vision using local materials like sandstone and teak to create a dialogue between the house and its landscape using Mughal garden patterns.

    The house relates to its landscape by having private living spaces and dining areas situated between informal green courtyards, creating a spatial relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. Mughal garden patterns were used to generate a dialogue between the house and landscape.

    The materials used in construction include sandstone and M.P. teak. Techniques like stack ventilation and a double envelope were used to create insulation and achieve a temperature variation of 6-8 degrees year-round. Natural techniques like an existing tamarind tree also helped gain temperature difference in interiors.

    PAREKH HOUSE

    The 720 sq.mt. Villa is set within a precinct where various houses are built belonging to the extended family set.

    The dwelling built with an ecological vision where the climate and client's brief are translated into a ‘House’ authentic both in terms of context
    and workmanship.

    The material palette of sandstone and M.P. Teak offer sensual experiences. A textured crimson block abutting a white mass on the side adds to
    iconic imagery of the house in abstraction.
    Private living space and dining area sit in between
    the informal green courts, creating a spatial
    relationship of in and out. A dialogue between the
    house and landscape is generated using Mughal
    garden patterns. The stone jail which is hand cut on
    site can be closed for privacy as well as to keep the
    harsh sun out. The house is picturesque from all
    the sides because of the ample appreciation space
    around it. This space is well designed with
    landscape elements and complements the house
    exteriors.

    Eye travel stops in the prayer room when viewed


    from the wide-open split door. Formal seating has
    a backdrop of the transparent prayer room. Living
    space spills in the dining area which is lit from the
    off-centered courtyard towards north and open sit-
    out on the south. Dining space opens towards the
    garden through louvered bay windows made of
    teak. The entire space is lit efficiently by the
    virtue of daylight and well ventilated through
    stack ventilation ducts.
    Entrance gate to property is framed with a
    kiosk. The positioning of a contrasting
    crimson red sand-stone frame around solid
    timber entrance gateway is a celebration of
    two naturally occurring materials next to
    each other. This entrance frame adds a human
    scale to the front elevation of the two storied
    mass beyond. A separate vehicular entry
    guarded with a steel gate is designed to give
    first visuals of the site. Stone paved pathway
    directed further to timber-framed pergola
    creates a sense of arrival to the house. Light
    penetrating through a massive pergola gives
    the entrance a grand scale and highlights the
    intricate timber struts. The pergola is covered
    with clear glass on top to enjoy the rains
    sitting underneath and also protecting the car
    park.
    Indoors achieve a temperature variation of
    6-8 degrees around the year adopting
    various techniques like stack ventilation
    and double envelope to create insulation.
    Natural protection from an existing
    Tamarind tree also helped us to gain the
    temperature difference in interiors. Every
    element within and outside the house are
    handmade on site with a focus on
    simplicity and function. The rainwater
    harvesting tank maintained is used for
    cooking and daily needs around the year.
