Description

RK House is located in an old housing development area where most of the decades-old original homes are still retained in their original form. The house is designed to be in tune with its surroundings while also providing some freshness to the neighbourhood. A pitched roof with the same orientation & similar inclination angle as the neighbouring homes was used in the design. A family of three will occupy the house with the possibility of having more children. The lower floor houses an open-plan living-dining-cooking area, with a separate service area on one side. The second floor accommodates the more private areas such as bedrooms & bathrooms. Materials with tropical as well as industrial nuance were used throughout the exterior as well as the interior of the house. The owner was a fan of midcentury furniture designs, which blend well with the wood-filled & monochromatic nature of the house's design. Natural ventilation & lighting becomes a priority during the design process with various forms of openings being provided in each room. Small gardens both at the front & back of the site provide a touch of tropicality to the entrance & living spaces.
