VERANDAH

 

Designed in response to the tropical climate and local architectural character, this residence draws inspiration from the vernacular architecture of coastal India. Sloping tiled roofs, deep overhangs, exposed timber columns, and handcrafted brick jaali walls come together to create a timeless built form that is both functional and contextually rooted. These passive design elements provide shade, promote natural ventilation, and establish a strong connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

VERANDAH is a home for traditional Maharashtrian Family, this house in the interiors of Maharashtra is designed preserving the traditional style of Maharashtra while adapting with the present. To respect the Culture and lifestyle the day-to-day approach, their activities and gestures are given utmost attention. Considering these aspects interactive and engaging spaces are developed. A design is gratifying when small individual spaces create a sense of familiarity and connection. Design elements create a bond between humans and spaces, like a central verandah with a Gulmohar at the center and stepped sitting encouraging social gatherings.
