The Brick House / Studio Humane

The house is located in Barshi, a quaint town in the Solapur district of Maharashtra, Sharing its border with Karnataka. Surrounded by the rich heritage of the two states our client a young & dynamic farmer with a strong political background wanted to showcase the culture & grandeur of Solapur in his house. Further building upon this brief we decided to interpret the culture of Solapur in the building’s interiors as well as exteriors. A concept of the design roots deep into the culture of Solapur and keeping in mind the harsh hot & arid climate of Solapur, the concept of double-wall with brick panels came into the picture, these panels have been used as facade elements by decorating them with intricate designs of ‘Solapuri chaddars’.
