Architecture Design of The Brick House

Description About The Project

The Brick House designed by Studio Ardete, with nature be the guide in designing the spaces and to let it penetrate the built environment. Indeed, the architect borrows the space from nature upon which they build. Also, they bring in green wherever they could and create green amidst built wherever the space demanded, and capture its essence.

Upon approaching the South entrance of the house through a short traverse along the lawn, one greeted by a generous verandah which pushed into the line of the building, decked up with flowery planter pots that the owner’s wife insisted on keeping, along with a swing set to enjoy evening teas on, breathing in the green of nature. On the other hand, the palette of the interior scheme was kept muted with specs of colors and textures of stone, walnut wood, and bricks. That vicariously derived from the earth, to imbue in the air, a feeling of being amidst the certainty and security of nature.

Once insides, the master and guest bedrooms have been placed along the South wall overlooking the lawn. Therefore, making the user feel a constant connection with nature. The mother’s bedroom faces the South – East wall overlooking the park across the road. The courtyard on the East of the living is a green court lined with glass on three sides that visually and physically connects the bedrooms to the living space and instills a sense of fluidity. Besides, the courtyard sits deep into the living room to ensure mutual shading of the spaces adjoining it.

The Brick House with Picturesque Views of Nature by Studio Ardete — The green landscape of the site surroundings leads the designer to choose a color and texture palette that would make the building stand out and yet, be not too loud as to subdue the peaceful setting.

Indeed, the warm white of the walls becomes a perfect backdrop to block printed tapestry and hand-drawn sketches made by the owner’s wife.

The Brick House Gallery:

Text by the Architects: Located in a modest residential neighborhood of sector 20, Panchkula, the Brick House, with a plot size of 42’ X 82’, overlooks a woody park towards South and South-East across the road on the front. And shares its boundary with a lawn on the South-West, offering picturesque views of nature along two major frontages. The family consists of a couple in their fifties and their elderly mother. They wanted three bedrooms, a decent kitchen with a separate cooking area, and a large common space with living and dining. As the client was reconstructing their home, they were clear that they wanted to have unbound access to the lawn. It happens to be one of the perks of the site’s location and orientation. They wanted to make the lawn a part of their day – to – day routine.
