Project :sub urban house, rishikesh.

type: homes

location: rishikesh

site area:200sqyd

status: completed 2014

The clients wanted a simple and compact little house in Rishikesh to address their simple needs: a living dining, kitchen and a bedroom area on the ground floor. A bedroom with an attached bath and dressing area on one side, another bedroom with a lounge in between, on the first floor.

Uncluttered spaces have been created devoid of furniture, so that in spite of being small, the space itself could be experienced as the essential quality, rather than the numerous objects that one possesses and gathers in the course of living. This gives the house a timeless quality. And gives the narrow spaces of the house the quality, of a much more generous space that is flowing into each other in continuity, which is flowing freely between inside and outside. This gives the inhabitants the feeling of having space for their future instead of the feeling that their space is already occupied with the things of their past.
