A Sustainable And Timeless Material For Modern Architecture

The Umber house is a contemporary residence designed by Mould for a multigenerational family located in Delhi. The design revolves around a central open space that unifies all floors and creates a relief space that brings in light.

The concept was to articulate a residence for a multi-generational family with contemporary, timeless, unified architecture that retains an individual character. The client brief was centred around creating a ‘family home, unlike the standard standalone models practised nowadays with identical monotonous façades across all floors. Simple and linear, the design revolves around the front garden or lawn, a rare urban opportunity nowadays. The house is designed around a central open space that unifies all floors while providing a relief space that brings in light and offers the opportunity to create a sculptural element.
