The residence for the family of Mr.P Chandrasekar in Madurai. The final design overcame the main constraints of Vasthu sastra and a limited site area... The result is a colorful modern villa that appears more spacious than the actual area it occupies...
a play of light, colors and contours...we were very particular not to disturb the beautiful mango and neem trees in front...
main entrance set alight by the burning orange...
front lounge...in cool green...
the living hall..play of arches...landscaped courtyard adds life to the interiors...
the court is set in white...to contrast the colors of the rest of the house...
stairs in black granite...
glass frame on the right gives a translucent view of the pooja room...
the courtyard as seen from the bedroom sitout...

ReplyDeleteRomba super. I like the arch..very different from the usual ones used in manu houses and universities..
I like the courtyard kind of thing. It reminded me of mounaragam house...I love that house.
I also like rythm movie house in ooty( at the end) - have u designed those types...??
I meant many houses..I mostly have seen arches that are not so wide. Thats what I meant..

ReplyDeleteHello Ashok,
ReplyDeleteI came blog-hopping and landed on your blog from God Knows Where. :-) Really cool designs and ideas you have here! I am an admirer of creative, unique and user-friendly architecture (shapes, colours, light, convenience and persona-match). I dream of building my own home some time in the near future and will have to hunt for an architect who'll understand my unique needs! :-) Looks like you would be a great Architect to keep in touch with (Do you have projects in Bangalore?)! Have bookmarked your blog! Keep going! I think you're doing great work!

Your work is inspiring and strums my hearts desire to build an off grid, efficient home. We have wind power at our home now but want to start again and build from the ground up and include solar power as well. We are striving to create the most beautiful, efficient home using the smallest footprint possible.
ReplyDeleteI also create site specific artwork that is responsive to architectural environments. The environment is crucial to the my process as an artist.
really inspiring colours & structures :) keep posting & smiling always!
ReplyDeleteLovely design, love the colours.
ReplyDeleteVery classy work Ashok, your designs and colors are in perfect harmony! Glad to know your work today and enjoyed every bit of it. A humble suggestion is to include wall murals, they make homes unique :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and feed back.
