MONOCHROME HOUSE

Client: Confidential   |   Site Area: 650 Yds   |   Project Type: Private Residence Team: DADA and Partners  |  

Designed for a young couple in the suburbs of the city, the residence explores the idea of landscape thresholds that inter connect with all spaces both horizontally and vertically. Set across four levels, the house seamlessly intertwines the functionality with cascade terraces, sprouting out of a courtyard punched towards the southern face of the building. The ground floor is essentially a transparent podium, which engages with the outdoor landscape.

Exposed concrete and black limestone forms the main theme across the home, hence the name ‘Monochrome house’. Architectural features such as Charcoal Aluminium louvers, huge exposed concrete overhangs add to the design vocabulary and accentuates the dual tone exterior envelope.
