THE BRICK LATTICE

location : Chandigarh
Site Area : 9000 SQ FT

This project plays with the basic element of construction i.e brick to form a lattice house. The brick balconies created by placing them in a particular pattern are the key design feature. The emphasis has been to bring out the natural beauty of raw materials. The house plays with Multi level floors connecting through an open courtyard creating a space within the space. It is not just the facade which speaks for itself, but also the well-ventilated interiors where the play of light creates a statement in every face of the walls. And to make it more lively a central spiral staircase on the pocketed green courts acts as a space of spotlight. The half brick arches and the arched windows also add to the beautification of this brick lattice house.
