Welcome Gift
01
First Week
Devdattam Bunglow
They wanted the design language to be functional and reflect a durable character. The client’s professional background eased out the process of deriving the match of materials and design. Their lifestyle is simple and hence, they wanted interiors which are relaxed and blend with the architectural design as well as the nature of the client.

Second Week
Angular House
Living on an ancestral land for a decade, the young and ambitious client desired his new home to be a modern structure which blends with the context. His brief was to have a very unique home which poised a creative design challenge for SPA Design Studio. Considering the client brief, the dense surrounding and the climatic conditions of the site, the design ideas led to create a unique solution that satisfied these concerns.

Third Week
Home By The Park
The clients wanted the house to be vaastu compliant with five bedrooms and regular facilities. The challenge for the architects was to create spaces over the linear site by maintaining the balance of privacy and openness considering the surroundings. The design planning blurs the boundaries of inside and outside. The lower ground floor plan is planned to accommodate parking, lounge area home theater and servant’s quarters along with structural elements.

Fourth Week
S House
The house is surrounded by closely placed dwelling units and faces a road in front, and hence, privacy becomes a foremost concern. The client here wanted a simple and an elegant house. The design was then conceptualized as an amalgamation of the serenity prevailing on the site and the client’s requirement. Revealing hardly anything about the interiors, the façade is inspired by various sections of the metal profiles composed together to show the slices of the visible form, which thereby create a bold statement.
Something Unsaid
I never had a mentor who sat with me and explained why a building was designed a certain way. I figured it out slowly, project by project, year by year. This newsletter is the shortcut I never had. One building. Every Thursday. Free.
