INTRO

This tropical modern residence is a refreshing architectural amalgamation of well-lit interiors and a contemporary exterior.

Surrounded by lush greens, this simplistic duplex structure gives us major goals on how a residence in a densely plotted neighborhood in a place like Noida can look like.

 

 

RED BRICK FACADE

This modern residence features patterned brick tiled exterior walls overlooking the lush flora. The Façade is juxtaposed with layers of metal screens in form of railings, louvers and doors with exterior walls.

 

 

THE INTEGRATED STAIRCASE

This duplex has a two set of staircases. While, the common staircase connects the whole house from outside, the internal staircase integrates the lower two floors from within. The sleek balustrades of the staircase connect directly to the ceiling, creating an encased effect that still lets visuals and light pass through. The sunlight leaves traces on the neutral walls, creating geometric lines.

 

 

A BRIGHT SKYLIGHT

A skylight over the internal staircase ensures the penetration of daylight into the house in all spaces. It acts as a slit in the roof plane, allowing the user to experience connection with the sky while being inside.

NEUTRAL INTERIORS

If the bright vivid colour just isn’t your jam, this residence is surely going to appease your senses with its white minimal walls and polished marble floors.

Needless to say, with the right decor going, all neutral is anything but boring.

Wall As a Public Space
“To read public space only as a spatial condition, as a matter of square footage, zoning, or physical access, is to miss half the picture.”
—Reshma Esther Thomas

Reshma Esther Thomas examines how Hyderabad’s flyover pillars, painted with Cheriyal-style murals under the GHMC’s ‘City Art Scape’ initiative, reveal the paradox of managed public space. What appears to be beautification is actually cultural assertion in the wake of the 2014 bifurcation, bureaucratising a surface that once belonged to those without institutional power.

The Map That Was Never Yours
“If publicness is reduced to what is legally accessible, then these landscapes were never public to begin with.”
—V.V. Kusum Priya

As part of our editorial: What makes a space public?, V.V. Kusum Priya argues that Section 39A of Goa’s 2024 Town and Country Planning Act this isn’t just a legal issue, and that it’s the erosion of an unrecognised but collectively sustained commons, and a question of what “public” really means and who benefits from the legislations surrounding this.

“Appropriation of public spaces is the genesis of political movements, of ideological apparatus, and of endangering the city’s multi-dimensional fabric.”
—Dr. Seema Khanwalkar

Dr. Seema Khanwalkar, explores how the public spaces in India are dynamic, contested areas shaped by informal economies, migration, and social negotiation. She reveals how the transactional activities democratise ownership of these spaces, while the political and religious appropriation increasingly displaces this organic vitality, creating exclusion and anxiety. This shrinking of inclusive public space threatens urban social fabric, yet remains largely absent from city planning conversations, making it a far deeper crisis than mere encroachment.
