In the face of several built-related restrictions, Architects Amit Aurora and Rahul Bansal, of group DCA, focused on what they could meld. The result: An elevated version of its original layout, to make it an address of functional aesthetics

Of A Refined Sensibility

The makings of this home, could easily go down as one of the most challenging projects taken on by group DCA’s partners, Architects Amit Aurora and Rahul Bansal. Why do we say that? Well, Amit, the principal architect for this project, answers that one, “Due to a number of local restrictions and bye-laws, the pre-constructed structure could be modified only to a certain extent in convergence with the design intervention. Most of the pre-installed appliances, switches, water taps, and faucets, etc. were retained to minimize costs and lower the environmental impact.”
