Weekend House, Suramya Ahmedabad, 2012

A very small brief for a weekend family house on a very small plot: 23 x 15 m. The house is only 13 x 7.75 m, leaving as much of the site as possible free. Two sides face roads; the north elevation looks onto a common plot.

On the ground floor is a small bedroom, a kitchen, a hall and dining area opening onto one large space for weekend get-togethers.

The north-south axis is kept free.

The first floor opens on three sides to take advantage of the views.

The house is elevated on the site and seems to be floating.
