Nilaya — Nilaya Residence: Reclaiming a Family Heritage for Modern Living
Jainagar, Uttarakhand · 2022 · Residential
The original structure, a product of its time, bore the hallmark materials of contemporary Indian architecture: burnt brick and concrete. From the project's inception, a strategic decision was made to salvage as much material as possible from the old edifice, laying the foundation for a mindful approach to material utilization. This conscientious selection of materials, coupled with deliberate exposure, imbued the new home with a raw authenticity, resulting in a resilient, inviting abode, arguably the most cost-effective in the region.
