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.

This is a residence in Ansal Villas, Satbari. The design isn’t final yet. But we plan on using natural and local stones like the Delhi quartzite. We also plan on using grey bricks, which will be fly ash bricks. Fly ash is an industrial by-product of thermal power plants.
The planning involves large courtyards in the heart of the house that brings ample light and ventilation. The intent was to provide strong visual connectivity among all floors while retaining privacy and maximising views.
