Interior view in shrine area courtyard. House 4, New Delhi, Delhi, India. Architect: Morphogenesis, 2015.
Located in a serene farmland within the bustling city of New Delhi, this single family home represents the integration between landscape and built mass. The design retains much of the existing landscape and wherever the building does touch the ground, the landscape follows its profile berms up or drop down along with the land. The private family areas are submerged into the ground to achieve passive cooling through thermal banking. Vertical fins separate the blocks from one another and provide structural support to the entire built mass. Linear fins sloped at varying heights accommodate functional spaces The residence sprawls on acres of lush green landscape with the building located off center to give the clients a large front lawn. The characteristic landscape courts influence the micro climate.
