Project Info - YTDA GUEST HOUSE

Designed as a flexible compound for overnight guests, the guest house maximizes volume, light and privacy on a 1670 square meters temple land which has a magnificent view. The building has been designed as an art of traditionalism. The beauty of the building has been enhanced by the use of traditional materials in the front elevation like mangalore tiles for the roof and railing designs resembling the traditional structures. The front courtyard and the landscape emphasize the connection between the inside and outside spaces. The building turns into a dramatic space at night and the fusion of light and shadow in the exterior is so profound that the building seems to glow and shine at night and the sight of it is so nostalgic. The subtle shifting of the interior volume defined by double height together with the house’s thoughtfully utilized materials with diverse textured outdoor environments, balances serenity and dynamism.
