Located in Konkangaon near Sangamner, Sindhu House is a weekend home designed by ABDS for a family of four. Named after the client’s mother, the project explores the idea of overlaps—between built and open spaces, private retreat and the surrounding agricultural landscape.

Much like the Sindhu (river) moves through varied terrain, the house is shaped by a sequence of overlapping planes an voids. A long, sloping terracotta roof acts as a continuous canopy, extending across the house to protect it from sun and monsoon rains while forming deep shaded threshold spaces along its edges.

Living and kitchen areas are oriented toward these transitional zones, encouraging visual continuity and shared family interaction. Open decks, generous overhangs, and carefully positioned openings promote cross-ventilation and passive cooling, ensuring comfort during weekend use across changing seasons.

A restrained material palette combines earthy textures with steel structural elements, balancing warmth and durability. Sindhu House is conceived as a contemporary weekend retreat that responds sensitively to climate, landscape, and everyday family life.
