A True Reflection of the Landscape

The Context: More than being low budget, this house is the outcome of a realisation that architecture need not be expensive and brand new.

In the wake of globalisation, when ideas and information are just a click away and are followed by a large audience belonging to different layers of society, the image of what is good architecture has been stereotyped to a big extent. In developing countries like India, this is rooted in the notion that there is a certain kind of architecture that represents the financial status of the user, especially in the case of residences where almost everyone wants a home that ‘looks’ rich and expensive.
