Nostalgia House / HUMANSCAPE

This home in Bhusawal was initiated in the nostalgia of 'Doodhbaori', the ancestral home in the heart of Hyderabad, near the iconic Charminar, that held not just bricks and mortar but cherished memories for the siblings making this house. The decision to construct a twin house building emerged from a desire to recreate the magic of this ancestral home, fostering togetherness with shared spaces like gardens, verandahs, and terraces. They spoke of the times when they would all gather in the courtyard for games, on the terraces in the evening for kite flying, and in the verandah every morning to see the processions. There was no such place defined to eat, sleep, or gather; the home served as a space in union. Even though we could not see the pictures, their stories could stitch it all.
