Pangari Bungalow, Residential-Single family dwelling

Rooted on Earth, Kissing the Water, Bracing the Wind and Reaching up to touch the Sky – seem to be lines from some lovely poetry; phrases not usually associated with architecture… But a single glance at this serene residence inspires all such dreamy thoughts – and more. Architecture, like all arts, has an inborn element of subjectivity. The aesthetic language employed in any creation is open for analysis, interpretation and criticism. Even landmark architectural projects have their share of opposition and criticism – because subjectivity always initiates a polemic. The house is strategically placed below the road-level, and as it is anchored to the sloping side of a mountain; a cut-and-fill method was used to allow the structure to merge with the landscape. Since the home was to not have any rooms, an expanse of uninterrupted space is achieved in the interior at both the levels. The levels themselves are not internally connected, though – and therefore function as independent meditative spaces. Structurally, there are no columns, walls and even window frames disturbing the panoramic view that the site affords. So the lower level connects with the earth and water through the seamless sheaths of glass; while the upper level opens out on to a terrace and engages in conversation with the mountain-tops, the wind and the sky.
