The house is designed on a plot measuring 45?x 90?. The plot is located in a typical Indian neighbourhood flanking a busy street. The dense residential fabric of the neighbourhood, proximity of the neighbours and the busy street in front prompted us to conceive an introverted building. Diagrammatically, the program of the house was laid out in the form an ?H-shaped plan? that wraps around a courtyard such that each arm of the ?H? flanks the courtyard. The open to sky courtyard, not only becomes the point of interest and activity within the house but also represents the ?outside? within the introverted house.
