Located smack in the middle of an urban and crowded locale of Trivandrum, the site was a small plot that was being suffocated by other residential projects from all four sides. The idea of this residence was to have an inward-facing house with all its spaces opening into a funneling central courtyard. The house is aligned in the East-West direction with openings facilitating for maximum cross-ventilation.
Keeping in mind that brick kilns in Trivandrum are a dying industry with people opting out for wire-cut machine made bricks, this was also an attempt to promote this local agriculture-based industry that is on the brink of extinction.
Architect Vinu Daniel walks us through the house carved within pirouetting walls.
