Located in New Delhi, this five-story residence is reminiscent of a block game similar to Jenga. It is constructed out of three cuboids that are interlaced and cantilevered, and they are made of different materials. These cuboids give the impression that they are floating between a pergola on the roof and a pool at the entrance. The stunning facade, which consists of a guestroom cube that is covered in wooden tiles, a porous river stone gabion contemplative square, and a stone-slab-faced monolithic block (at the back), functions as a visually and texturally fascinating trio. With its wide 13,000 square feet of living space, this mansion, which was built by anagram architects headquartered in Delhi, is intended for two brothers who are related to each other and their families. It is a departure from the typical huge joint family arrangement. Consequently, the design adheres to this specification to the letter by including a multitude of communal places for the sake of social interaction, while simultaneously reserving certain rooms for the seclusion of individual families. In order to make the most efficient use of space and functionality, a home theater is located in the basement, with other fundamental utilities. The stilt level is occupied by parking and gardens, while the upper ground floor is comprised of living, dining, and family rooms. On the first, second, and third floors, there are bedrooms that come equipped with private bathrooms. Additionally, there are common areas such as terraces, verandahs, and gardens that provide opportunities for members to interact with one another and create a sense of community. The house is acclimatized to harsh summer and winter temperatures when it comes to its eco-friendliness. This is accomplished by not only making it energy efficient, but also including features that are intrinsically sustainable into its volumetric layout. In order to assist thermal stacking, the three cubes make use of natural light and ventilation. Additionally, the openness of the building to gardens, terraces, and verandahs at various levels produces an atmosphere that is naturally cool and green. Additionally, since the dwelling is oriented toward the south, the layer of stone slabs serves as a brise-soleil on the monolithic block at the top of the structure. As one moves from the outside to the inside, which is uncomplicated and basic, the home exudes an atmosphere that is just the perfect mix of cool and warm sensations. It is possible to achieve a seamless connection between the inside and outside by including communal areas that bring in an outdoorsy vibe and rich woods tones that match the glass and steel material palette. The business has been awarded the all India stone architecture awards in 2014 and the architecture+design & cera awards, “residential design with a difference,” commended in 2013. This is not unexpected given the amount of effort and attention to detail that has been put into the creation of the project.
