A House Surrounded by a Green Footprint | Ansal Villas, by RSDA 1

Ansal Villas, a house designed for a family of four is nestled among sprawling farmhouses in Chattarpur, New Delhi. Considering the site constraints, the house is designed to offer complete justice to its surroundings while simultaneously adhering to a crisp client brief— “a house that is surrounded by a green footprint.

 

 

With a reasonably tight budget, the material palette of the house is kept minimal, which explains the pared-back aesthetic of the house. Externally, the structure is treated with simple white external paint, stone finish and green pockets. Internally, the openness of the house and simple finishes offer a sedate and modern look.

 

 

A visit to Ansal Villas is like a walk in the park. A house that proves that minimalism, green vistas and white hues are all you need to design a timeless abode. Nestled inside a plot of land enveloped by greenery, this charming modern farmhouse is a perfect getaway from the perils of city life.

The Good, the Bad and the Aesthetic - Bhopal

The Good, the Bad and the Aesthetic

This essay delves into how municipal corporations envision creating Western cities (instead of responding to the Indian context) and end up creating cities that only appear to work, instead of actually being more socially inclusive, dynamic and publicly active. The Smart Cities Mission then caters only to the rich and this becomes evident in not just the visuals they use, but also the manner in which they describe their vision of a World Class Infrastructure. This essay by Avani Mittal is amongst the shortlisted essays.
