SCULPTING FLUIDITY

The Liquescent house, located on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, embodies an architectural language inspired by organic forms, a dialogue between the built and unbuilt, and the language is imbued with a natural fluidity, shaped by a childhood immersed in clay.

This formative experience-working with a material that responds so intuitively to the hand-has deeply influenced an approach to architecture that favours organic, flowing forms over rigid lines and angles. This house, sculpted like clay, reflects a philosophy that architecture should mirror the harmonious interrelations observed in nature, where elements are not distinct but exist in unity and continuity.

CURVES AND LINES

The house form, a curvaceous and geometrically intricate structure, draws from the idea of a language of fluidity-a response to the influence of organic forms-and manifests in the building's roof, walls, and spatial articulation. The architectural plan is C-shaped, with a courtyard at its heart, seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor spaces.

This layout brings light, air, and greenery into the home, creating an experience of movement and harmony. The courtyard serves as a connective tissue, offering visual relief, natural ventilation, and vibrant light across the residence.

The roof is a highlight, a form that is realised in ferrocement to achieve paper-thin edges that give the form a sense of weightlessness and elegance. These edges frame the building, contrasting the robust structure with an almost transparent lightness. By curving and manipulating each segment, the roof emulates the continuous flow of natural forms, a fluid geometry that allows the house to blend into its surrounding context while providing volumetric character to the spaces beneath.

STRUCTURAL INNOVATION
