Villa of Mr. Gopal M Gorasia, Bhuj, Kutch
WE HAVE STARTED TO RESOLVE THE GIVEN ASSIGNMENT OF A LARGE VILLA PROJECT FOR OUR CLIENT & A DEVELOPER OF BHUJ – FOR WHOM WE HAVE DESIGNED THE WHOLE COLONY (SARDAR PATEL NAGAR) IN 2004 – IN MID 2005 AND WORK ON SITE STARTED IN EARLY 2006. IT IS A LARGE (ABOUT 670 SQ.MT. BUILT SPACE) HOUSE FOR A FAMILY OF STATUS.
A GRAND FACE & A GRAND ENTRANCE WITH A LARGE LANDSCAPE REFLECTS THE PERSONALITY OF THE OWNER AS ALL LIVING SPACES ARE SOMEWHAT IN LARGER SCALE THAN STANDARD.
THE IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF THIS DESIGN IS THE APPLICATION OF A HOT AIR DUCTS AS A MEANS OF CLIMATE RESPONSIVE ARCHITECTURE. IT EXITS THE UPPER LEVEL HOT AIR NATURALLY FROM ALL BED ROOMS, WHICH SUPPORTS TO MAKE COMFORTABLE INNER ATMOSPHERE. LOFTY OUTER WALLS AND NATURAL SAND STONE CLADDING ALSO SUPPORT TO INSULATE THE BUILDING AGAINST THE HARSH SUMMER. (DRAWINGS AND PHOTOS ARE SELF EXPLANATORY)
