The Three Mashrabiyas House / Matra Architects & Rurban Planners

Today, under immense pressure from the ever-increasing population and congestion of urban fabric, the realization of a "regenerative" builtenvironment seems to be a distant dream. However, cities are trendsetters for emerging orders that incite meaningful paradigms and could even foster a change in future building regulations. Such has been the case in the past with the mandatory stilt parking, introduced in Delhi a decade ago, for plots below 1000 sqm, which arguably has posed a challenge to the development of a house that was once connected to the ‘ground’ and provided a perceivable balance between open and built-up areas.
