Residence 913 Karnal, Haryana
The idea was to design a house that brings its occupants in close contact with elements of nature in order to lend a strong spiritual character. The overall concept was devised as a free plan with interconnecting volumes, that emphasise the sense of nothingness overlooking the courtyard and a blank stone wall painted in light. Spaces like courtyard and verandah were reinterpreted to suit the urban context. The plan was organised around a northern courtyard and water body with the central space, i.e., the living room looking into it. The entrance was conceived through a screened verandah overlooking the water body on one side and the living room in the front. This allowed for a complete absence of window coverings as no direct sunlight penetrated the central space, but there was ample natural light throughout the day. The interconnecting volumes in the section allow the cross axes to be visible as soon as one enters the house. Residence 913 houses a total of three rooms, two master bedrooms for the father and son and a guest room. The father is housed on the lower floor while the son’s room and the guest room are planned on the upper level. The father’s room and the son’s room are organised in such a way that they open into the central space, diagonally in the section thus creating a strong visual connectivity.
