Kamat & rozario Architecture

Bangalore, Karnataka, India-560043 |Practicing since: June 15, 2007

Sharma House, Residential-Single family dwelling

“Achieve a contemporary house with vastu compliance” was the brief for this renovation project. The existing structure The existing structure was a 30 year old typical Bangalore house with thick load bearing walls. Most of the outer walls were very close to the plot boundary cutting out a large amount of light. The neighbor’s house too was hugging the boundary wall in certain areas which cut off even more light. The requirement was to de-clutter the existing house and add more spaces, to meet the needs of the family. Our challenge was to rid the house of its dark, dingy corners and simultaneously make it ‘vastu compliant’. We decided that instead competing with the vastu prerequisite, it would be more productive to convert it to an asset.
