A green, terraced home wrapped in cascading gardens and a brick-jaali crown.
The project
On a compact 1,670 sq ft corner plot, the house stacks four levels of living around light wells and courts. Corner glazing opens the rooms to the street, while brick jaali and timber louvers filter the Surat sun and give privacy above.
Planned to Vastu and built to breathe. Cavity walls temper heat and sound, stack ventilation and open planning move air through the section, and a water-conservation tank and solar-ready roof carry the house toward self-sufficiency. Trailing greenery softens every edge, turning the façade into a living, seasonal thing that glows warmly between the tiers by night.
