Illuminating every corner

Nestled on a small plot along a bustling road, this 5000 sqft home is anchored by a spacious central double-height area. The layout is carefully planned around the sun's path, ensuring each living space is illuminated uniquely throughout the day. This thoughtful design maximizes natural light based on the specific function of each room. The central dining space which is flanked by a large facade of faceted windows has dancing sunbeams. They pierce through during morning when the family has a ritual of having breakfast together in the dining space.

The front facade almost becomes like a vertical courtyard space, which is a cultural gathering space in the Gujarati lifestyle. The faceted windows are designed after a thorough analysis of the sun's path and local climate data. This ensures they provide optimal shading and natural light throughout the day.

Striking facade

A quirky, yet clichéd take on the immigrant experience

This series transports us to the fictional hill town of Rettamugadu, where friendships are tested and moral compasses falter. Set in 2006- the series combines nostalgic charm with a gripping narrative, unravelling a web of deceit, guilt, and tough decisions. The nine-episode show skilfully blends the innocence of childhood camaraderie with the darker consequences of poor choices.
