Red House: Crafting Dreams into Sustainable Reality

Embarking on the journey to create a dream home for a dynamic couple — a professor and a travel enthusiast — Red House is more than bricks and mortar; it's an artful fusion of unique style and sustainable living.

Project Snapshot:

Clients: Working professionals with a passion for unique, earthy aesthetics.
Challenge: Crafting a dream home on a constrained budget with a focus on energy efficiency and climate responsiveness.
Land: 1800 sqft, east-facing, demanding innovation in design.
Design Brilliance:

Zoning Magic: A 1BHK on the ground floor and a cozy guest 1BHK on the first, strategically zoned for functionality.
Entrance Drama: An external circular staircase, doubling as a design statement, opens into a captivating foyer area with a thoughtfully semi-opened wall for privacy.
Play of Light: Brick jail on the staircase wall creates a stunning play of light, ensuring a unique visual experience.
Green Oasis: Creepers around the foyer not only enhance aesthetics but also bring life to the surroundings, ensuring a warm welcome.
Sustainability at its Core:

Material Choices: First-class brick for the arresting brick jail, Porotherm blocks for walls radiating heat, and a strategic use of glass blocks for natural lighting.
Courtyard Elegance: A central courtyard, an oasis within, keeps the house cool in Chennai's climate while providing a serene setting.
Interior Symphony:

Organic Openness: An open-plan living area with a semi-circular design for an expansive feel.
Sunlit Niche: A recessed living area with strategically placed niches, basking in sunlight, becomes the perfect home for an antique collection.
Courtyard Harmony: The central courtyard not only ushers in light but also hosts a tranquil pooja space and a soothing waterfall.
The Artistry Beyond:

Masterful Timeline: A testament to efficiency, the project was completed in just 10 months.
Budget Mastery: Red House stands as a testament to brilliance on a budget, with a cost-effective completion at 45L.
Creative Minds: Designed by Kosh Studios — the dynamic duo, Karan Parmar and Anish Anbuchelvan. Crafted to perfection by Vardha Housing, Chennai.
In the heart of Chennai, Red House not only stands as a testament to architectural innovation but also as a warm, sustainable haven crafted for dreams to thrive.
