Our first concern was to represent the identity of a cosmopolitan Indian family in their home. The "Indian" quality runs through the home, subtle but omnipotent.
Secondly, the home as sanctuary has clearly been played out by the creation of an introverted 'C' shaped building in which the courtyard becomes the pivot of the house - the idea being that in every movement between two rooms the experience of the outdoors is essential.

It is eventually a warm, tropical house where structure, materials and the quality of light and shade work together to create a contemporary Indian home.
