Standing on a 2,035-sq-ft plot, Manilaxmi is an urban home in Vadodara. The brief was to build a simple, functional and an aesthetically soothing house that would suit a family of four. “The client was clear of his requirement for a four bedroom house with living room, dining, puja and a kitchen that should be spacious and clutter-free,” say Krimmy Patel and Ishank Patel, principal designers of IK Architects. “They also wanted to have a multipurpose space with an open terrace area for small gatherings.”
The elevation is a minimalist marvel, starting its journey from the boundary wall itself. A palette of textures is blended gracefully in mute and subdued tones. The fenestration is an outcome of a mindful thought process with a defining presence in the neighbourhood. “It finds a way to make an impression without communicating directly with the outsiders,” says the duo. A confluence of concrete panels, Gwalior mint stone, and wooden fins conceal the world inside.
