Design of a family week-end home post lock down, for the family of elderly parents with three daughters and their respective family & pets. Brief was to design 4 bedroom house with basic cost in mind.
Design concept is very simple layout, juxtapose of rectangular spaces one Private sleeping space & other common family space, separated by a small courtyard. House is approached at the mid level, Family living at the same level, partially going down to kitchen, Dining & back yard. And straight flight of step to mezzanine and first floor. Straight flight of step was achieved only because of mid level entry.
All the toilets are grouped together to save cost on services, and rooms attached are having opening with balconies and sit out outwards respectively, and basin cross ventilation is planed for all the rooms. Ground floor as have very minimum ceiling heights where as us first floor with more than required height for thermal comfort.
