2,400 sq.ft. Compact House Brickly Affair Residence, Bengaluru by Greyscale Design Studio

www.buildofy.com/projects/bri...
Set up in the urban sprawl of Bangalore, this contemporary family home basks in the rustic tones of terracotta, fronted by a striking brick jali. It sits on a 2,400 sq. ft. plot and has three levels and is crafted organically in a minimal theme to induce a timeless blend of past and present.
The ground floor serves as its own independent 2-bedroom house, and could potentially be rented out in the future. The client’s main home comprises the first and second floors and is accessed by an exterior single-flight staircase. Brick is the primary material in the palette and is complemented with mud plaster, Kota stone, and splashes of warm Burma teak wood. Concrete and cement oxide structures are left true-to-form, and all-metal fixtures are naturally rusted to create an earthy, textured finish.
Principal Architect Ninu Ahluwalia recounts the planning and detailing of this earthy home with a built-up area of 3,500 sq.ft., as it attempts to create its own oasis in a dense urban neighborhood.

[@darvaish4552]

this is purely a piece of art. combination of materials in their natural colour, then adding a splash of warmth. the brick jali is a dying art, it needs no maintenance and helps cut the air to give it a push in to the property. Hats off to the architect and designer.

Brilliant may be an understatement. Loved the layout, the courtyard and the interplay with nature and light. The selection of furniture and the choice is Colour were very neutral. The way the lady explained was amazing. I am sure the owners gave the architect a free hand and a pretty decent budget.

[@rythemcrazy]

What I like with most of the such videos in youtube is those who are involved in construction are adding nature friendly features like making more provision for natural lighting and using bricks which will allow for natural ventilation. One thing that worries me is how people are going to maintain such houses (irregular brick structure and jaali accumulates lot of dust, pigeon droppings etc)
