India House Design with cool exterior walls and courtyard

October 22, 2009 Filed Under: Concrete House  

This Indian modern concrete home design is located on a corner within a dense urban centre in Bangalore, India. This dubbed Out of the Box modern cube home design was designed by Indian architecture firm Cadence.

The 1,200 sq ft corner site presented us with the classic urban scenario. The site was abutted by houses on two sides and flanked by low income housing on the other two sides. A simple cube style and a white facade could be described as unassuming, if not for the unusual perforations which adorn the house, and the contemporary staircase that leads up to the entrance. Traditionally known in India as “jali walls,” apart from adding architectural interest these perforated walls also serve to passively cool and ventilate the house

The leaf-motif holes within these concrete exterior walls cast whimsical spots of sunlight onto an indoor courtyard. Typical courtyard home plans put this outdoor/indoor space at the center of this india home design, but in this innovative architectural design it is moved to the northwest corner at the front of the house. The court is further articulated by placing a sculptural element that would serve as an informal dining area as well as a tub housing a tree. The jali wall cast in-situ completes the fourth corner to accentuate the experience of the court.
