An architect named Amit Srivastava takes us on a tour of his modest and unpretentious home in Vadodara… Amit, who is a staunch believer in the power of simplicity, has created a house for his family of five that is a poignant representation of typical architectural poetry. The home is three thousand square feet in size. His vernacular approach to architecture and interior design is obvious in the all-around use of a natural material palette, which, according to him, is the consequence of exposure received on his pan-India travels back when he was a boy. as a matter of fact, it is possible that this is what gives the house its warmth and an appeal that is both timeless and modern. A double-height ceiling is punctured through the dining area, which results in the original space being flipped on its head. The floor plates are distinct from one another. Not only does this provide a smooth vertical connection between the two levels, but it also makes it possible for natural light and air to flow continuously into the lower portions of the house that is comprised of ground plus one story. The exposed brick-clad facade of the dining room continues to the top level, resulting in a center cube with an unusual dimension. This creates an environment that is cozy and reminiscent of home. The primary circulation spaces on both levels are characterized by hardwood that was procured from Ahmedabad. This hardwood is used to cover the flooring and provide a horizontal connection that is clearly articulated. The old rcc staircase in the passageway that is six feet wide has been replaced with a suspended staircase that is made from perforated metal sheet. This alteration was made in order to accommodate a spatial transformation that changed a gloomy and crowded space into a light and airy focus area. In conjunction with the use of bronze mirror, this change, which is both aesthetically pleasing and economical, brings about transparency and generates the impression of a bigger space. Cotton furnishing fabrics, locally woven rattan furniture, handmade tiles, Indian mosaic tiles with brass inlay work, cotton furnishing fabrics, lampshades and rocking chairs that convey an earthy feel, and towel rods refashioned from salvaged wood are all examples of the natural palette that can be found throughout the home. Even walls and ceilings that have been completed with a combination of raw cement and concrete resin and then scraped to create the appearance of stucco contribute to the indigenous atmosphere. The appearance is finished off with wooden chairs, terracotta tiles, and bonsai plants that are placed on the terrace, which is around 500 square feet in size and is connected to one another by a pergola. In order to support the return to leisurely living and the construction of a homey and comfortable residential environment, this vernacular approach to building and the belief in utilizing local materials are both beneficial.
