Vatta House

Designed for a family of 5, the house sits on a small plot surrounded by high-rise looming on one side and other houses on 3 sides. Due to such crowded urban scenario the house is introverted. Central landscaped courtyard and large skylights on sloping roof that frame the North sky anchor the house back to nature.
​
All social spaces are arranged around this light filled central volume. Family space on the upper level allows for intimate family sit-out in addition to the living room.
​
Through the house there are various possibilities embedded that prompt spontaneous interaction of family members - an absolute necessity in today’s life.
​
Cross breeze is captured with carefully designed openings that still maintain the privacyof the house. Rugged on the outside yet warm and comfortable inside, the house becomes a large shell into which the family can recede and find moments of solitude and togetherness alike.
