House Plan.
To create a house that
is open to the outside while
retaining privacy for the clients. We
also wished to make it
energy-efficient by
having fresh
air flowing freely around the house.
Creating a green
house design.
The house is surrounded by
established houses and a basketball court.
Large roof overhangs help screen
the occupants from the neighbors’
view, thus affording a degree
of privacy. Exposed red bricks
and
tropical
wood
finishes provide
a rustic and homely ambience for
the occupants. We used generous
roof overhangs to help
shield the occupants from the harsh
tropical sunlight
and heavy monsoon
rains.
The lush
greenery of a garden
is introduced into the main
entrance hallway, so visitors soon become
aware of
green
architecture
implementation upon entering the verdant
courtyard. By using
carefully thought - out
placements of walls and partitions,
semi-private space such as the living
and dining area are not visible
from the main entrance. The living
room looks out on a spacious garden
with a large fish pond. One is also
soothed by the idyllic sounds of
the fountain at the fish pond,
inducing a feeling of living with
Nature.

The house plan is divided into
different zones
according to
the degree of privacy. The Public Zone includes the
car porch and entrance hallway. The
living and dining area comprise the
Semi-private Zone, while the Service Zone includes
the kitchen, laundry, store and servant’s quarters. Finally there
is the Private Zone of the bedrooms.
The end product is a highly
desirable and cost
efficient
residential
property, designed by a
local architect,
and with practically all the
materials being locally produced.
