Located in a busy residential locality within the city proper, this is a typical compact plot surrounded by private residences and apartment buildings.

​

The main road access being in the west meant that sufficient visual screening as well as passive heat-control was essential in providing a comfortable living environment within the front-facing spaces of the ground floor. This was proposed to be done using low-cost screens made of materials such as ferrocement (or steel & reclaimed wood in case they are readily available).

​

The owners also own the plot adjacent to their boundary on the southern side, and intend to convert it into a lush garden with native vegetation— a green ‘oasis’ within the heart of the city.

​

The living and dining areas face the garden to the south, and a long deck is planned along the edge for the residents to relax and take in the views of the greenery outside.

​

A master bedroom and kitchen complete the ground floor, and two bedrooms along with an open terrace are planned on the upper floor.
