This residence, located in a suburban development in Ahmedabad, is designed as a walking library and art collection, reflecting the client’s passion for reading, writing, and collecting a variety of items, from shells and feathers to artworks. The dining area, with its double-height ceiling, connects the home office and bedrooms through a concrete slab. In terms of form, the house is stepped to break the scale and allow for indirect light to filter into the spaces. This design choice ensures that the light constantly shifts throughout the day, creating a range of moods and atmospheres.
