Slotted House - Bringing the vastness of Nature to Architecture

 

Large green Terraces, Interlinked Building Volumes & Subtle Façade are the definitive features of this subtle yet Stunning Villa designed by Chaukor Studio for a Large Joint Family in Surya Nagar Ghaziabad. 

lotted house is a resultant of a reductive or a subtractive approach while creating the overall design of the house. It is a very modern take on the design process wherein the built volume is considered as a singular entity; eventually from which various volumes are removed (subtracted). This kind of design process wherein smaller volumes are removed from a larger entity to create distinct shapes and forms is called a reductive approach to design. In contrast to the conventional design process wherein the overall building design is achieved through the process of addition, the reductive approach is much more radical and results in much more contemporary and unconventional design forms.

 The covered terrace at the First Floor level (here referred to as the Slot) takes the primary focus and forms the most crucial part of the design. It is an overarching design form that gives the fundamental shape and a larger sense of identity to the house. Large window openings and green planters are built into the Slot that gives a sense of an open expansive green space on the first floor. When seen from the exterior, the Slotted house gives an appearance to be a floating volume above the boundary wall and connecting with its surroundings. The material texture of the Slot is kept most distinct to create contrast and make it stand out in the larger volume. Slotted house is a very modern and contemporary take on residence design.

Contemporary Styles House - Subtle Yet Stunning

Contemporary design is not a specific style that belongs to a certain region or a time period. It can be rather defined as a unique design approach where one has to think completely out of the box to match the requirements of the project. Since there is no pre-defined order or style that defines contemporary design, each project comes up with its unique expectation and needs. Thus, every project is distinct when designed in a contemporary manner. Since its inception, Chaukor Studio is renowned for its contemporary approach to design and to come up with out-of-box solutions to meet the unique challenges and expectations of every project.
