A Cool Cocoon

The brief was to construct a party hideout space for the client along with his family and friends, providing adequate privacy from the adjacent plots.
A Cool Cocoon

The site is located in a gated community of 200 plots in Karamsad, Gujrat. The site is 50 feet by 83 feet plot with south facing approach road and adjacent plots on the east and west, and is covered with vegetation on the north, east and west.

The residence is designed in an L shape form with minimal floor plate, optimizing the back garden for a larger party space. The concept behind the L shape form is to have a combined living, dining and kitchen space providing a larger and grand public space without any visual obstructions. The bedroom and the party lawn are planned on the north, away from the public space, giving the required privacy.

The L shape form is also derived considering the macroclimate of the site. A longer facade is created on the southern side to block the harsh sunlight, whilst allowing for air circulation with the help of GRC (glass fibre reinforced concrete) jalis and water bodies. The party lawn is created on the northern side, allowing indirect sunlight, while the wind flow passing through the water bodies creates a cool breeze on the party lawn. The plantations in the party lawn are also planned to provide shade into the lawn when they are fully grown.
