HVR
Architecture Design Residential 6,081 SQ. FT. Completed
Nestling In Ahmedabad, Gujarat, HVR is a residence bungalow crafted in harmony with its user. Amidst Urban Surroundings, it is a peaceful corner plot in a gated residence society. The Initial Idea revolved around creating little barriers to allow daylight inside without losing the sense of warmth of a home. Drawing inspiration from the cultural richness of Gujarat, the design narrative is rooted in a cherished local saying, "ધરતી નો છેડો ઘર" meaning the earth ends at home, embodying a deep connection between humans and dwellings.
The doors and windows are made from reclaimed wood sourced from a demolished church in a nearby village. White walls and white marble, along with wood and plants make a more earthen Gandhian neutral palette. In this house, light plays with materials and creates a dynamic environment throughout the day, allowing users to occupy the house and make it into a home.
