Characterised by earthy shades, clean lines and an interesting play of light, Residence 239 is designed to respond to the client’s needs, the green surroundings as well as the distinct architectural character of Chandigarh. A huge green door stands out in an asymmetric façade leading into a space adorned by natural hues of Kota and Jaisalmer, giving a seamless view into the green lawn in the rear end of the plot. The living spaces both at the front and the rear end of the house open into green areas providing a sense of calmness while allowing sufficient natural light inside the house. A sculptural staircase finished in Kota stands as an indulgent element besides facilitating vertical transitions. The skylight above floods this space with natural light. A double height dining space creates an interesting play of volume. The use of natural materials, subdued tones, a seamless flow of spaces and an earthy facade are some key highlights of the project.
