Residence



Artist's Village, Belapur, Navi Mumbai



Nestled in the low-rise high density fabric of Artist's village which

was developed about 20 years ago. As the village suggests, the houses built are for artists and craftsmen.

The users have eventually torn down their original houses to build more user-functional homes.


An ecologically sensitive and user adaptive, this G+1 house was rebuilt within the

existing area, bearing in mind the contemporary nuances of the user and his family.


Area: 600 sq.ft
