Pixel House

Lead Architects : Snehal Suthar,Bhadri Suthar

The antipodal requirements of privacy and togetherness drove the concept and development of this villa, which was to be the home of an extended family spanning three generations. While the inspiration for this design is that most fundamental building block of digital imagery — the pixel — its spirit is rooted in nature, as the home emerged from an intent to embrace natural conditions, taking advantage of views, orientation, and form. In order to maximise the feeling of connectedness to the outside, the Architectural form has emerged as a stepped form, with spaces on the first and second levels enjoying elevated pockets of greenery that also serve as congregational spaces. The material expression is organic — wood, stone and concrete — with greenery forming an important part of the palette. Each space connected to the front garden, and the interconnectedness of the indoor and outdoor spaces is the heart of this project.
