The brief for N.D.D.C. comprised a modest material template culminating into a residence that would be rich in spatial experience. Ample cross-ventilation, keeping in mind the occupants’ need for privacy, as well as flexibility in space change in accordance with family evolution were also an important consideration.
The project was based on an H-shaped plan wherein all the spaces have three external walls. The use of shading devices in the form of huge cantilevered slabs give a “hovering effect” while, at the same time, offering grounding to the building.
