Architecture Design of The Colour Burst House

Description About The Project

The Colour Burst House designed by LIJO RENY architects is a prominent project with simple yet bold rectangular form. Indeed, this house softened at both ends by means of walls and frames extending into the landscape. Also, the car porch with the terrace garden above it. And the transition of the tropical garden into a dry garden around the entry. The entrance to the house is through a modest skylit landscape and the pavilion – like sit – out that exposed to the landscape and serves as an outdoor living area. Besides, the experiment in blurring of indoor and outdoor, shaded and open, and built and unbuilt begins here in the project.

In addition to this, the house placed perpendicular to the road with the landscape surrounding it has three bays of horizontal development designed to make use of the site’s length and the direction of the prevailing wind. In the primary bay, the car porch, sit-out, living, powder room, kitchen, and work area arranged in the indicated order. The secondary bay has the bedrooms and their toilets flanking the staircase and a hidden courtyard to which all the bedrooms open. Moreover, with the dining room in the middle and an indoor patio above it that serves as the family room in this home. These two bays are joined by two large double – height courtyards in the central bay.

The moniker of this project refers to the burst of colors employed throughout the home. Indeed, the house is filled with contagious energy by the orange, black, white, and grey hues that appear on the walls, furniture, wall art, metal fabrications, décor items, soft furnishings, etc. Collaborations with some incredibly talented people make this project unique.

Text by the Architects: “We want to enjoy the rain, from every room of our house”, was the initial statement made by the clients in their project brief. Hence, “The Colour Burst House” was the result, and it included three enormous, double – height open-to-sky courtyards that all of the main rooms could open into. Therefore, allowing the occupants to enjoy the rain, light, and breeze with the changing seasons from the comfort of their rooms.
