12.0 Residence / Studio 2+2

Amidst the scrubland setting of Kanjari Village, which is very close to the wetlands of Thol & Nalsarovar, lies this site which just had a lonesome Piludi(Salvadora persica) tree. The brief received was to make a residence with a gigantic living area to host large gatherings and a couple of bedrooms to reside within the precincts of these wetlands. It’s a single-floor residence enveloped in glass and exposed concrete to devise a monolithic composition. The complete house is shaded by an inverted slab cantilevered about 12 feet from the inner facade, supported by a mild steel colonnade for maximum visibility. This 12 feet projection defines the residence and that’s how the name of this house came up. 12.0 was designed on the principle of providing maximum prospects and even the open planning was done to support maximum visibility of the landscape from all the interior spaces.
