Description About The Project

Dalal House designed by Groundwork Architecture is an impressive project with natural brick and concrete as the main finishing exterior. The house located on an area of 1,000 sq. mt. with 20m street frontage and 50m depth. This home organized on three levels. It provides high end amenities with five bedrooms, formal living, family living and dining areas, a private gym, and a party lounge with a large veranda facing the backyard.

The house has two entrances, one a formal entry through the entrance porch and the second an entrance from the car park through the mudroom. The formal entry leads to the double height vestibule which connects to the main corridor of the house. In addition to this, the corridor acts as the main spine connecting all three levels through a staircase.

Once insides, a foyer with an open to sky sculpture court on the left flanked on one side with the staircase. Then, the main spine of the house, the corridor leading to the interior spaces. The proximity of the formal living room to the vestibule maintains the privacy of the other family areas. Entering the house, the family living and dining spaces open onto the veranda facing the backyard garden in the East. The master bedroom on the first floor opens onto the veranda. While the gym projects onto the veranda and creates a single height volume into the otherwise double height veranda.

All bedrooms and living areas have an air conditioning system installed. However, all the general areas use a passive downdraft evaporative cooling system integrated into the house through a vertical shaft connecting all three floors. Some proportion of the electricity generated through the installation of solar panels on the terrace.
