The key to this project was to build the home around nature instead of weaving nature into the home. There is a modesty of articulation, which is rich with consideration for the environment, as well as the consciousness that a weekend home should offer you an experience that is fundamentally different from a routine one. Natural and raw materials were the primary medium through which this guiding principle was articulated.
In addition to the organic envelope. the building features water bodies and is surrounded by local species of insect repellent plants thus developing its own micro-ecosystem. The programme and planning were also driven by this objective for communing with nature. We minimised the built-form which was designed as a shelter for essential activities so that most of the day was spent outside.
The site is surrounded by large local mature trees that act as natural sun-breakers, shading all the pathways and the periphery of the home. These provide shelter and sustenance to a variety of birds and small fauna, encouraging biodiversity. We consciously stayed away from fragmenting the overall landscape with compound walls/boundaries and the home relies on the natural boundaries created by the vegetation for a notion of privacy.
