This house, located on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, the seventh most populous city in India, in a land of 4 acres that has a dense flora. The new house was to be a permanent home away from the city in the natural desert. Previously, the family owned a colonial-style house in a densely populated town of Ahmedabad that was built in the mid-Twentieth Century.
Among the requirements demanded by the owner were the following: that the design should avoid the formation of rigid boxes; that it should have an inclination to a mostly outdoors-oriented lifestyle; and that it be a house that would be a container for the collection of artifacts, paintings, Persian carpets, books and ancestral furniture. The design proposed, by the architectural firm Mode Design, under the lead of its professionals Arpan Shah, Deep Bhagat, and Khanjan Joshi, intertwines and integrates the previous concerns.
The fluid curvilinear formation is a reinterpretation of the images of the ancient ancestral house, and also reiterates the natural formation existing on the site. It has a space of 630 square meters, semi-open spaces and full of elegance and luxury.
The house is a fusion of the raw and rustic character of the outdoor spaces and the fineness of the interiors.
