Haveli-inspired Indian home

House of Bridges seeks to reimagine the traditional Indian home, drawing inspiration from the indigenous haveli typology while catering to the evolving needs of a joint family structure.

Situated on a 3-acre site near the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway, the home by Principal Architects Vijay Dahiya and Shubhra Dahiya of team3 blends familial connectivity with individual privacy, merging traditional and contemporary design principles. The project is designed as a joint home for three siblings and their families. The spatial configuration is accurately planned to accommodate the various needs of the different generations.

Grounded in the wisdom of haveli architecture, the design integrates private subunits connected by screened bridges, facilitating physical and visual connections without compromising individual freedom. The evolution of the facade has been crucial. Interventions were implemented to transform the facade into a dynamic element to overcome the challenge of monotonous, large building faces. The result is a house with modern appeal featuring clean lines and contemporary form.
