How did we go about designing our favourite house in Adambakam


This is a house designed for a young family in a compact site of 1200 Sq.ft. @ Adambakkam, which included a 30 year old Mango tree and a Well, thereby including natural features of the site into the design. With parents being neighbours, we came up a design integrating the existing and the proposed house by converting the western setback in to a shared lawn with large openings. Being just 200 metres away from Velachery lake, the house was built encompassing a Triple height cut out space that aligned to create max ventilation and lighting through Stack effect. Concrete Cantilevered steps, Seated windows, Openings around the tree and Sloped roof accommodating the tree makes this house a treat to live in.

The below is a pictorial depiction of how we went about the design of this eco-friendly house.

This was an informative and well-written post about eco-friendly homes. Living smarter often means using simple tools that improve everyday convenience. A Black Screen is one of those practical resources for monitor testing, presentations, or minimizing screen distractions. Thanks for sharing such valuable insights on sustainable design.

Designing a compact, eco-friendly house is a brilliant way to live sustainably. Using smart layouts helps save energy and cuts down on building waste. Last spring, I was drawing a model home for a class and relied on online English communication exam takers to keep my grades up. Tiny home designs are definitely the future. to better organize my notes and stay focused. Travel stories like this inspire both learning and curiosity about the world.n

nice post.
