A 2,000 sq.ft Compact Pondicherry Home With A Central Watercourt (Home Tour).

Located in the narrow streets of Pondicherry, this house explores the idea of modern minimalist architecture adopting the principles of tropical architecture and design.
The main aim is to create well-connected spaces between inside and outside where both built space and landscape complement each other and bring a unique kind of experience within.
#MyGreatFacade is a series presented by Fenesta Windows in association with #Buildofy
Designed as a combination of public and private spaces designed to cater to the needs of the family, the idea is to build a home that would represent the new generation.
To download the full PDF eBook of Le Tranquil in Pondicherry with floor plans, materials used, construction techniques and so much more, please visit: www.buildofy.c...
A dynamic facade, green courtyards in setbacks, a central water court, and the use of wooden and concrete textures are some key highlights of the project. The Principal Architect and the Associate Architect walk through the house and explain how they designed a well thought architectural insert between the existing buildings.

I just see this videos to get me motivated to work hard and build a house like this, i wish someday i will do.

All the best..

All the best bro

Don't work hard, hard work will get you nothing, work smart.

[@vikramgaddam784]

@@rizwanuzzamanjyoti This looks good when we say it, but in reality, everything comes with hard work

[@nomad4273]

No offense to any of these modern architects, but the sustainability, functionality and usability of these spaces look so damn hampered with the “beautification” and other fancy aspects mentioned. I too had a bad experience with a kerala architect recently who was hell-bent on aesthetics rather than common-sense design that fit our area and even climatic conditions. Sometimes I feel these architects just want to satisfy their urge to create something “beautiful” rather than doing a functional design for their clients who actually have to shell insurmountable amounts to make this a reality!!!

[@ayshujk6423]

Too many concepts included in this house, various walls, various floorings. House is extremely dim inspite of the courtyard, should have increased skylight. Although as many pocket gardens included, house does not give the relaxing feels due to distortion around. The water body in closed enclosure will begin to smell in weeks/days, should have placed it in entryway.

[@findingmyownspace9384]

I felt the same

[@akshayshetty61]

Exactly

[@newphone5019]

I am against the judging people by the age, but in this case here, they just proved as they just have bookish knowledge no real life experience of architecture.

[@hiranchandran8700]

Amazing architecture, Its almost unbelievable to see the contrast from the locality and the house interior.

[@sharathmandyam6103]

The stairs is a disaster Why is every place elevated from others ? How did the owners agree to this ? In the long term climbing up and down is going to get cumbersome.

[@kashifulislam9937]

one very practical house, space used very cleverly beautiful. partition between living room and other area is very good

Hi! Architect Richie... 👋👋😘😘 Lot's of love from BELAGAVI KARNATAKA 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@sivak.d]

Too many slabs holes! Difficult to keep it clean!! No! Absolutely no for a dusty humid towns!

[@mugilbharathis]

Very compact and sensible use of the space with a classy touch all over. Way better than those multimillion interiors which normally the Blr & Gujju architects use. Kudos team

[@asifgazalip.n5773]

The Play of levels are aesthetically pleasing, but for the regular users this might be a discomfort. Just sharing my understanding.

[@SharkFishSF]

Nice but too much edges and corners are 90° angled. Dangerous point load if any bone hits that. Why don't engineers understand that homes are built for humans and not robots? God, just get inspired from old buildings.

[@arthhpatel5496]

I think that house is built for Human bro..😂 Insan ka hath per tutana he to vo bed se girake bhi tut jata he 🤙🏻

[@SharkFishSF]

@@arthhpatel5496 haa, lekin old people aur bachhon Ghar pe khelte hue aisi kisi cheez pe sar takraa to serious injury ho sakta hai. Par baat yah hai ki most civil engineers sirf autocad aur kuch aur software pe rectangle design hi bante hai to save time and no out of box thinking for people living in the house. Mera Ghar pachaas saal pehle bana thaa, aur uspe sab edges aur corners smooth/blunt bana hai, taaki koi accident na ho. Ye engineers sirf civil code dekhte par liveability of the house bhool jaate.

[@centurian6220]

My jaw dropped in wow when I saw this house..When I thought about the cost of this jaw dropping effect and the maintenance, my jaw dropped further.😂..Very beautiful indeed, but but may need constant attention to keep it like that.

[@SharkFishSF]

@@centurian6220 it means you have a big jaw 😂

[@puneithjain6815]

Dont complain to engineers , it's architect's vision

[@sriv1556]

I understand it is small plot area, but sadly it is giving me a lil bit of stress - like solving a puzzle

if there isn’t any Lift. Elders wouldn’t dare to step on it. 😂 steps are everywhere.

[@priyankakadam7466]

Hello architects…. I loved your explanation more than your design 😍she was using such a beautiful words I could feel the space even closing my eyes …you are fabulous mam🎉

[@sayedameer]

I like the idea of greenery. but how about the maintenance? when family is abroad how do we go with maintenance of green space?

[@mohamedthabreez4084]

Imagine cleaning the house. You need atleast 2 people full time to maintain it.

Sir: congratulations.. finally u r in buildofy👍👍👍

[@AlphaChakra]

beautiful architecture....passionate

[@prashants4641]

This house is inspired by many other architect videos and failed to create a flow kind of feeling. Too many levels create a headache in maintainance and cleaning.

[@prashants4641]

Very true. Too much inspiration and ending up in paav bhaji.

[@anjankarki6386]

My favourite is Architect Richie.

[@debasis54321]

Some more detailed looks during video ll be great....

[@sureshroyala6296]

The only big letdown to this house is the narrow road. I always felt that a good-looking house should have good elevation and that elevation can only seen from a distance. In this case we cannot and that's unfortunate. Not at all taking the architectural brilliance put into this house, really liked it.

[@sanjaykumarattamwar7619]

Amazing Architecture, Project

[@fionavaz3191]

Absolutely loved the idea of the watercourt. I was wondering though, how does one clean the bottom of the water court? Also, what is the source of the water. Besides, would you recommend this in homes that has elderly people?

[@venusette]

Not bad… A bit too angular for my personal taste… Such angular themes stifle creativity and imagination…

[@ramnathsugan]

Is it located in heritage town ? Whether approval obtained from development authority for the construction ? If so is it as per approved plan obtained ?

[@vigneshe7500]

highly impossible

[@payaldesai11]

Beautiful ... simplicity

[@fleurdejasmin2550]

Cute dog ❤ I read complete artificial lights are not healthy . I’m not fan about box and the lack of any natural lights. The presence of the nature is too artificial. I’m not appreciate closes house , small enclosures and lot of stairs . But modern decorations are warm and nice .

Pondicherry is not under Tamilnadu! We’re a Union Territory, beautiful home though !

[@drbalachandran]

Cumbersome and impractical internal design. Too many steps with elevation and drops like water body. Waterbody looks a trench triggering trip-offs. Indoor water body will become stinky overtime.

[@user-ep8jc4sc8w]

[@skullhuntergaming177]

why multipurpose room is kept ? What is the function of multipurpose room?

[@lakshmankaranam]

Because they have place ...utilized

[@Rue747]

This design is good only as a concept. Architect has not considered the practical aspects at all. Not a safe house for infants, elderly and disabled- these are the basic considerations while building a house. Poor design. 👎🏽

[@fluxequinox]

Looks like a nightmare for my shin, and cleaning is going to be so so problematic. And its so dim. Seems quite unlivable
