Architects own residence

..And this is the task of the house.. To reveal the world, not as essence but as presence, that is as material and color, topography and vegetation, seasons, weather and light.. Christian Norberg Schulz “The concept of dwelling” The family…There are joint families and there are nuclear families. Our children’s school classifies us as a “nuclear family with grand parents”. But we are a “joint nuclear family” We believe that grandparents have their ‘nucleus’ too. Suramya house expresses this idea of alternating, overlapping usages of spaces and private zones. What is public and what is private as a space depends on time, people and mood. The outside is the big dwelling space and the house, the backdrop. The organization of the garden and the semi open verandah generated the form of the house.
