In the burgeoning area of Vadodara, Namasya is nestled amongst the upcoming high rise residential buildings enclosed with the beautifully crafted landscape around it.
As the sun rises on the horizon, the day of Nehulji(client) begins with the Munias and parakeets chirping, awaiting their breakfast. During his daily morning routine, he shares the verandah space with these prairie creatures.
Easy to spot on the road this singular ground floor residence stands out with a fusion of exposed brick work and form finished concrete structure creating a captivating blend of robust and docile.
At the intersection of the geomagnetic grid lines and the Vastu chakra stands Namasya, a 6000 sqft residence. The 500 sqft courtyard at the core, is the Brahmasthan—the cosmic centre with an 8’0" wide walkway encircling this sacred space. Like a protective embrace, it links the living spaces, creating a seamless flow.The long tunnel like passages weaving through the residence allows cross ventilation with cooled air, filtered by the trees.
The foyer Unveils the courtyard through a designer stained glass partition made by Artisan (Mr. Jatin Patel, Vadodara). The courtyard is designed with a delicate understanding and respecting the sunlight patterns. The Ferns, Philodendrons, carnations etc. , shade loving plants thrive on the south side, complementing the flowering species on the sunlit areas. Some of the exotic species have adapted to this cultivated micro-climate. Their survival is a testament to resilience—a dialogue between architecture and nature.
