“glimpse by glimpse”
Harid & Sabiya Residence | Paravoor
An edifice that is a non conformist of sorts. Without form . Without a single imagery.How does space prepare oneself into an engagement. The visual drama that begins at the vista from paravoor junction culminating at the tree planted on north eastern corner of the plot, where also the road takes a sharp 90 degree turn along the boundary. The Agra sandstone cladded boundary wall, which is high and purposely kept devoid of ornamentation served as a datum to the first glimpse of the residence. The aged existing mango trees along with the planted ones served to block the full view of the project and provided an acoustic buffer. upon entering the site one is guided by the hierarchically sequenced spaces. Rich in materials and texture, the projects offers a myriad of visual frames, viewed glimpse by glimpse , with the planar components and greenery in sensual engagement with each other.
