The site is situated in Nansha Jivan ni pol in the old city of Ahmedabad, surrounded by the busy narrow streets of the pols, the site poses as a natural relief in this busy context. The project was about using this beautiful context to create a house that nurtures and favors a family of five names, Dimple and her husband Brijesh, their children, Jiya and Kabir, and their grandmother Shantiben. The project provides two kinds of views and connects them in a unique way. The residents get to witness the greens on the inside and the city life outside.
