house of the week 112: Wall House

Located in Auroville, India the residence is designed by award winning architect, researcher and writer Anupama Kundoo. The design aims for a holistic experience of the site where boundaries are blurred and the trees are considered as much of the architecture as the roof and walls. As a result playful spaces are created that overlap or spill over each other. The Wall House ultimately is an exploration into an eco-friendly and energy-efficient alternative to current construction trends, with the main building material being achakal - a locally manufactured red brick that is filled with a lime cement mortar.

It's rare to see architecture that achieves such timelessness. I don't know about the "blurred boundaries" though, the house seems to stake out it's ground quite confidently.

We all think about modifying our homes, but some are more ambitious than others. If changing the layout of the house is your plan, you may very well need to create a new doorway. This kind of alteration can make a house feel totally different, and is sometimes a fantastic way to improve the flow of the house.
