The C-Plan House uses a 9000 sft plot to great advantage by maximizing use of a central courtyard-garden, inspired by the “aangan” in traditional Indian homes. The courtyard-garden is at the core of the home and all rooms on the lower and upper level look into it. From the street there is complete privacy. The house reads as a series of staggered abstract linear planes. A 60ft wall clad in copper sheets leads one to the entrance foyer in the south west.
The deep verandah is the pivot of the house, with the living , dining and family rooms all interacting with it. The east facing orientation bathes the garden and verandah with a gentle morning light , and views are of a 30 year old temple tree set afloat a shallow water feature with a mature canopy of trees surrounding it.
