DESIGN WITHOUT INTERRUPTIONS

Thank you to collage architectural studio for providing the photographs taken by Beverly Pereira. Skylights, wall-free areas, interior gardening, and a multi-purpose water feature are some of the elements that are used in a house in Bangalore in order to maximize the amount of interaction, natural light, and ventilation. As a response to a client’s desire for a visually linked house with flexible areas, collage architectural firm has thought of a single volume that is both introverted and multi-level. Through a wall-free volume that facilitates interaction, each space, which has been carefully positioned to be able to channel airflow, flows into the next room in a seamless manner. A typical Indian house is designed with a plan that allows for a seamless transition from a front garden to a living area, a multipurpose court, a family room, and ultimately a rear. Pergolas at the front and back of the house are an unique way to integrate the house with the garden that is all around it. a skylight, manicured courtyard, which is also evocative of traditional Indian residences, is reimagined with a water element that physically separates the family space and the living room without disrupting the visual link between the two areas. It is possible to change it into a water pond in order to provide a cooling effect during the summer months, in addition to functioning as a lounging area with cushions during the cooler months. The use of guy wires for the railings of the staircase contributes to the impression of expansiveness. On the top level, there is a bridge that connects the several floors and provides views of the living area that is located below. The cantilevered prayer area at this location is surrounded by wooden louvers, and during the day, it seems to be a solid cube. This place of seclusion is transformed into a luminous box that is semi-opaque and emits an ethereal character as night falls. A warm, earthy but modern atmosphere is created by the combination of white walls, rustic dholpur sandstone, and granite flooring, which work in conjunction with an abundance of natural light. In order to limit the amount of heat that is gained from the inside of the home, toilets and dressers are strategically placed on the southern and western sides of the building. Additionally, the western facade is totally covered in cladding in order to insulate the house. As a result of the wall-free stack effect that was generated within the structure, the façade of the building has a variety of vertical and horizontal planes, projections, and voids that are in perfect harmony with one another.
