I N A R A : The Ray of Light

This travelers home designed with the occupancy of four people welcomes travel enthusiasts who want a break from their regular life and would enjoy interacting with new people. Having studied the courtyards of Goa as a spatial element its characteristics were used as a tool to develop the design. Intangibles of the courtyard such as The subtractive nature, feeling of surprise, and play of light were explored to achieve an interactive environment.  The organisation of the spaces has been done in an informal way which would lead to default interaction amongst the travelers. The movement across the house is guided through light and shadow which ends up creating a feeling of surprise. The semi-public and public spaces in the house highlight its extrovert character.
