Traditionally, the Indian family system has been associated with that of a joint family; in recent times, that has changed with each unit that is a part of the joint setup developing a specific requirement of space and privacy. The client brief necessitated a house for two brothers, on two adjoining plots.
The problem was tackled with a different approach to the modern Indian family; two identical houses were designed which were joined together through balconies and a common compound area. This gave the two brothers independent houses to project their vision and maintain a connection between both spaces at the same time. With a unified facade, the two houses end up looking one. Open spaces and connection with nature has been incorporated at varied levels with two gardens in the front and back of the house. A take on modern Indian joint family living space, Twin house sets a precedent for Indian homes today.

The intent at the outset was to have at least a third of the plot as a garden. This was achieved by adopting an L shaped configuration, by balancing opposing architectural elements, such as solids & voids and opaqueness & transparency.
The solid block consisting of bedroom, kitchen & stairwell sits on the south-west, while the living & dining areas inhabit the open transparent element situated in the south east, providing seamless interaction between the inside & outside.
