Stacked House Study Room Interior Design
A living space renovation is completed designed by the architect Architecture Paradigm Private. This house renovation is completed in Bangalore, India. The renovation of a house which is covers an area for about 400 square meters is processed in 2010. In this living space renovation project, exploring this notion of joint the family culture in the changing urban scenario. Which is placed over from northeast to the southwest, the site is a 400 square meters with a step drop of 2.5 meters and it is flanked by roads on the north and western edges. The client in the early eighties negotiated this sloped terrain builds an existing three bedroom house. For his son’s family, the brief is to use this structure and add a three bedroom unit on it.
By the architect, the design for the stacked examines these parameters in the context of two families spread over three generations co-existing, while retaining their personal identities. Reflect the additive nature of the program is the idea in this renovation project; it is to look at the house as an open ended amalgamation rather than a finite object. To accommodate new program and look at the emerging logic at the lower levels to inform the designing of the new unit, the process is involved reworking the existing floors. By the open space on all sides, the existing house sits in the middle of the site bound. This open space is served as an effective buffer against the busy corner; it is where one of the edges is defined by a school and a temple. In the context of the tight urban conditions, the living space is establishes a strong relationship with the outdoor spaces, inbuilt spaces. The use of the layers is helps in establishing varying degrees of the transparency and dissolving boundaries between in and outside. It is being connected to the neighborhood, brings in sense of the security while maintaining the privacy. To enable the different possibilities of the usage over the time, the flexibility is carefully considered, this is exhibited in the open-ended use of one of the rooms in the lower space as well as the upper levels units. The multiple possibilities of the usage at later date are allowed by the integration of the indoor and the outdoor spaces or the open plan with the minimum masonry partitions especially in the upper unit.
As it is load a bearing structure, the existing building is posed a challenge. While taking into consideration the weight of the gardens above, a few of the internal walls has to be removed. To support and achieve this idea, a simple system of Columns and beams has been strategically introduced. While accommodating the weight and the depth of the lawn above, the inverted beams strengthened the existing slabs. The wooden deck at the first level ample shade is produced by the cantilever of the 4, 5 meters in the southeastern corner. It is also adds to the expression of stacking. The use of the materials and the detail are support the idea of stacking and labyrinth as the expression of the realm. The medium of the light which is used as a tactile materials lending character to each of the spaces are explored by the glass skylights, ferroconcrete and glass bottle panels, conical skylight cum ventilation device, the wooden screens and pergolas. This renovation project is rendered as an environmentally sensitive attempt; it is achieved by the passive strategies like the rain water harvesting, solar water heating, terrace gardens along with the efficient planning and conscious use of the low energy materials and the renewable materials like timber. The palette materials are locally availabble. It is such as natural stone, wood glass and steel, these are explores the unconventional technologies like oxide which is flooring tiles, earth plastered walls, ferroconcrete and the precast technologies. The expression stems out of a will to create spaces which are intimate, warm and memorable while accommodating the sensibilities of changing life styles.
