A design that is contextual, instantly lends the built structure a unique character, on account of specific and unique site conditions it responds to. Such is the case with this home too which is located in Maharashtra’s Nanded District. Envisioned by, Architect Amit Kasliwal and Architect Sagar Mundada of 4th Axis Design Studio for a family of four. This home, named ‘Chirantan’, anchors itself on a sprawling 3780-square-feet plot. It was brought on board to develop a narrow plot, facing a lush green field. Having studied the context as well the site constraints, the firm came up with a design for the home that does complete justice to its surroundings while simultaneously adhering to the crisp client brief—“a house that appreciates the tranquility of the green field” .
The main challenges of the project were first the area limits for providing a variety range of spaces, for a large number of employees and customers of the company, second, the narrow width of the project for bringing the natural light into the spaces in regards of the structural weakness of the building. The employer’s emphasis on respect for individual employees and their morale by creating spaces with equal quality and establishing all sectors with close interaction in between, are some of subjects that influenced the design process. – Arel Architects Group
