The guests be to be businessmen with several land pockets in and around Baroda, and it being their first residence, the selection of location for it was requested to be reanalyzed about. still, the guests were relatively keen on continuing with the same plot due to some novelettes values associated with it.

The plot is a fairly longitudinal and narrow piece of land with a total area of roughly 7,200 Sq.ft. As they began to design it, they saw several challenges that required to be addressed. Owing to the fact that it was a compact location and the guests had elaborate necessity for 6 bedrooms, a retail space on ground bottom along with other installations; and no concession on the quality of air, light, seclusion and sound control, they only had one option – that was to make altitudinous house. With this comes another challenge of not making it look and feel like and apartment but one like a humble abode, while establishing a nice internal visual connectivity between all the floors.

The elevation on the south therefore sees a latticed red granite screen with artistic perforations at level 2 and 3. Breathing green pockets in the form of beautiful terrace gardens are placed at level 1 and 4. The same element of the granite screen is repeated on the north façade at level 3. It's farther congratulated by a body of exposed concrete work casted in a metrical fashion like that of a corrugated sheet.

Planning of the house is radically simple. The house is fully vastu abiding and utmost conditioning have been placed like wise. For the purpose of planning, the bottom plate was majorly disintegrated into three corridors longitudinally.
