The Transitional House (Residential)

 

The 21st century has seen a paradigm shift in the architecture of Indian homes. Till a few decades back, majority of the Indian population lived in houses which are build according to the traditional norms. Homes were made using the local materials accessible around the area to suite the climate and traditions of their owners. But in the recent years, in the quest for finding efficient ways of utilizing the land and making the homes smart and contemporary, we have missed a subtle point; that our homes once used to define our cultural diversity.

 

The transitional house is an answer to this drastic shift, where it takes into account both the traditional principles and belieft of Vastu-Shastra as space formulation guideline and the modern day needs of a family used to city life. Levels, Courtyards, verandas and earthy materials and finishes are used in a contemporary way which appreciate the Indianess and showcase a distinct yet culturally rich dwelling place.
