CLEFT HOUSE
It is a northwest facing residence in Delhi, built on a narrow 326 sqm. plot for a joint family. The approach steps away from conventional circulation and spatial arrangements, typical to such plotted residences , by considering the built volume as a breached monolith rather than as a composition of fenestrated volumes and surface renders.
