Architect House + Studio, New Delhi Client: Undisclosed Status: Built Size: 16,000 sq | 0.37 acres
Challenges of lifestyle and the environment: the the house as a plaorm has been used to invesgate two issues central to design today: the family as a social unit and the environment. The house hence, becomes a means of demonstrang that it is possible to meet challenges of lifestyle and the environment. The Indian residence: The Indian lifestyle is an overlap with many diverse aspects; there is a multude of interacons, varied levels of privacy and public exposure that are inherent in the tradional Indian home. The Indian residence is more of a social interacon space vs a western noon of more public space interacon. This residence multasks as a house for three generaons of a family and their many visitors, a busy workspace, and on occasion a sociocultural hub within the city. It embodies a customized specicity for a contemporary Indian Joint family, a design studio and a contemporary working couple’s needs to bring up their children in an interacve Indian manner. This led to the development of a unique design brief and a diverse spaal program. The relaonships and the variety that exists in the spaal program as a result of the nuclear family vis-à-vis the tradional joint family setup stands out parcularly.

Art House, New Delhi Client: Undisclosed Status: Built Size: 17,000 sq
The Art house was designed in close consultaon with the clients who are great patrons of art and wanted the house to be a backdrop for their art collecon. The site is located in the Lutyen’s bungalow zone in New Delhi, with considerable site restricons. Hence, the site planning and layout proved to be a challenge. The residence is developed on basis of two curved planes enclosing a large green space with bigger reclinear blocks oseng the curved lines. Keeping the inial client brief in mind, the surface treatment of the façade is predominantly with glass to facilitate transparency and visual integraon of the outside greenery with the inside spaces. This enhances the view towards the artwork on clear, large walls that are lit eecvely from the outside. The glass walls also help to underline the depth of the house with the amount of daylight owing inside through the skin. The entry foyer on the ground oor opens into a courtyard consisng of a backlit installaon wall to showcase arfacts and a transparent vista runs across the house with a shallow water body to display various arsc sculptures. The living room is minimalisc in design with a customized wood wall equipping the bar with hints of foliage imparng an ecological backdrop in all the common areas.

Fort House, New Delhi Client: Undisclosed Status: Built Size: 5,000 sq
The residence provides an example of the richness of the modern architectural idiom in blending interior and exterior spaces and providing a unied architectural expression. A free standing punctured wall creates a entry court and protects the private domain from the public. This entry space shaded by a cus benjamina tree surrounded by white pebbles establishes the minimalist mood of the residence. Protected from public view the house opens up to the elements with skylights and courts creang an interlocking series of spaces where light is the dominant organizing principle. Sunlight ltered and diused through the skylights and courts connuously changes the feel of the space through the day and through the seasons. There is no sense of enclosure or boundary here, spaces ow freely into one another through a house that unfolds both in plan and in secon. Walls turn into windows without the mediaon of a frame, enre walls in frameless glass are only subli mally present. The enclosure is decomposed into a series of independent elements placed in blocks of light.

Amaya House, New Delhi Client: Undisclosed Status: Built Size: 25,000 sq | 2.4 acres
Located away from the busy part of Delhi, the residence is located at the Porche Farms at Chaarpur.. The residence i s now a holiday home Chaarpur to a London based businessman and his family. Contemporary, yet Colonial: It wa s a challenge to meet the client’s requirements for this project, because along with general occupaonal brief and spaal requirements, the client also had very parcular style in his mind that the house was supposed to express. They wanted a colonial English bungalow to complement their London based lifestyle. Being a contemporary design rm, Morphogenesis took it as a challenge to give an architectural robust that is contemporary, yet could be stylized as a colonial fashion. The architectural form is an overlap of two simple forms that resembles the English alpha bet ‘T’. The proporons of the house are taken in a manner, so as to accentuate the linear elements. This requires developing the scheme on the three dimensional approach. Therefore, the plan, form and elevaons were being developed right from the beginning stages at the drawing board. The windows, doors, vercal penetraons and colonnades indicated an inclinaon to the colonial style of building, yet were kept minimalisc and contemporary.

Ananta House, New Delhi Client: Undisclosed Status: Under Construcon Size: 15,000 sq.. | 3.68 acres
The project site is located in Chaarpur, Delhi. The special feature of the site was that it had a lot of trees along including three big champa (Plumeria Alba) trees. The client wanted the architecture to have a stand-alone identy yet closely interact with the overall landscape design which was designed by Jencks Squared. The landform’s curving surfaces li up to form sweeping curves of the roof of the building. The water (small ponds and swimming pools) e the cycle together, emphasizing the nexus where building morphs to become landform. Form: Idea of the form is taken from Innity symbol and married to the idea of courtyard design. It’s a very three dimensional tectonic form. The art of tradional brick masonry, in texture, paern and three dimensional form was revisited. Cra: The tradional cra of brick laying is disappearing. There are huge number of intricate paerns that this project embodies when observing three dimensionally, almost like craed and molded by hand approach. The unique approach to design required creang dierent paerns using bricks for façade, and fenestraons to nalize their locaon on site based on visual aracon and funconal.
