‘Sriash’ residence is a pure urban house. The design sprouts out from
the staircase as a tree which bears fruitful spaces. The modest entry
welcomes you to a one and half height volume of guest living space.
SRIASH RESIDENCE
The formal guest living space at
ground level opens to an urban court,
which means that setbacks and
compound walls could be modulated
into the courtyard. The urban court
establishes privacy from road and the
same compound wall becomes water
fall wall on the inner side.
The double volume family living opens
to a green court which is more personal
for family members. In the same way,
dining space opens to mural wall. The
eight feet ht. sliding doors are melting
point of the interior and exterior spaces.
The materials (stone, exposed concrete, wood) used are
more pure in modern and elegant living. The aesthetic comes from monastic caves and simple
living. In technical function aspect, the thick composite masonry of stone and brick brings the
inside climate of the house more uniform through out the year.
The green court acts as lungs of the house. The eight feet ht. sliding doors in both living
spaces opens to the northern light. The thick flat slab makes the structure with invisible beams.
The state of the art home theatre is done with acoustic proof and controlled light into the space.
All the service pipelines are merged within inner walls/ ducts.
The service pipelines become veins of the house.
The exterior lights are connected with solar power to utilize the natural energy resource.
Separate rain water sump collects all roof level rain waters which used for gardening.
The sustainability of the house has been achieved by placing every single space /openings /
materials under meticulous planning and execution.
Then it leads to a five step level where you
find the family living, kitchen and dining
space. Steps/ staircases are the embryo of
the house. From family living level you
climb ten steps and it opens to home
theatre. From that mid level, you climb
again it opens to study space and links to
two children bedrooms. From the study
space you could look down to the family
living.
The spacious master bedroom too
opens to court. At first floor level the
children bedroom opens to the terrace.
The terrace being in the northeast side
becomes a place of shade in the
evening for play, conversations and
party.
“The organic nature of A Tree is a vital concept in residential architecture.
Every space should grow and become part of the people and vice verse”
