Tree House. Aparna & Viplov Rao House
In Collaboration with SOUMITRO GHOSH.
The project continues the narration of inversion to a private veranda while turning away from the street , yet making a gesture towards it in the handshake-gesture of the balcony at the upper level that leans onto the street allowing a spectatorship-engagement with it.
The project uses fragments of architectural spatial memory to conjure connections with place, even while immersing in the local nuances of light and passive solar principles.
