Vanani House

A family residence for a businessman, his wife and two young sons realized on a generous lot in a rather dense urban setting.

The brief was to design a family home on the lot such as to exploit the area for landscape as well as social gatherings and discourses, hence the building is designed linear along the East - West axis with most of the dead walls and non residential spaces falling to the South (a source for harsh sunlight and heat in India) and the living areas facing the landscape.

Structurally the house employs a composite structure, the walls have been finished with coarse and fine stucco and capped with locally available Bansipahardpur stone.
