This is a private home in Ahmedabad, expressed in Dhrangadhra stone. The stone used in many of the architectural antiquities of Ahmedabad. The stone has a mottled texture and bone coloration, available in blocks; slabs and dust from quarries nearby it became an obvious choice. The organization of the plan is like a simple cross. This allows for one room thick arms, hence permitting easy cross ventilation and possibility of a seamless connect with the outdoors. This frame allows the home to be immersed within the greens, considered imagery and landscape will form the surrounds of the cross shaped construct.
