Verandah House in Ranchodpura, Ahmedabad Property

This house is on the outskirts of Ahmedabad designed by Arpan Shah, India on a 4 acre plot with dense flora, a lily pond and an subsisting outhouse having a vernacular typology.

The new house was to be a permanent dwelling away from the city into the natural wilderness. Earlier the Munshaw family owned a colonial style house in a densely populated locality of Ahmedabad, India and which was build in mid 20 th century.

The owner’s initial brief for the new house included a preference to avoid a rigid box formation, a mention of life style that was mostly outdoors, and a dwelling that would be a container for collection of artifacts, paintings, Persian rugs, books and ancestral furniture. The proposed design weaves and integrates the above concerns.

The fluid curvilinear formation is reinterpretation of imagery of old ancestral house and also to reiterate the existing natural formation on the site. The house bends to allow views of the lily pond and simultaneously engenders an element of surprise in the experience of interior space.

The entry verandah, lower and upper verandah that comprises a major part of the house and all these are oriented towards main garden and lily pond. These are a 15 feet cantilevered and hovering spaces that fuse with the surrounding landscape. The interior space lavishly opens into these semis open verandah spaces. The house is a ground floor structure having the master bedroom and daughter’s room a higher level.

The central spine segregates the living, dining, library and master bedroom on the side that has the main garden and lily pond. The rear bay houses the kitchen, mother’s room and daughter’s room.

The rear bay is also interspersed with landscaped entry court and central court that relieves this bay and lets natural light within the house.

The central spine withal is illuminated by sky lights to have a contrast to the dark Kotah floor. The house is a fusion of raw character of outdoor spaces and the finesse of the interiors.

The exterior material palette is natural jute panels on the curving beam face, Valsadi wood paneling and doors, concrete ceilings, terra cotta colored rough surface and rough Kotah stone flooring.

This is further complemented by old renovated wood and cane furniture in the verandah spaces. The interior space in contrast has white walls, polished Kotah stone. The interior space fuses old and customized new furniture along with lots of artifacts, paintings and Persian rugs.
