BOMBAY HOUSE

| BUILT | india |

Just off of the shores of Juhu Beach in Bombay is the compound in which I had spent my childhood. On the property are three identical bungalows, each consisting of 4 flats. They were built in the early to mid 20th century and served as the barracks for the British during WWII, directly adjacent to Juhu Airport.

restore | renovate

My family has lived there through multiple generations and will continue to do so in the future. This project is one step in that evolution. This will be a house for 3 generations: the Baby Boomers, Generation Xs, and Millennials.

History is in the structure.

CLINIC

The future is in health. We see the house as the new clinic. Health starts from the well-being of the occupants. The house can help monitor that health.

magic

As a human, curiosity brings magic into the house. We want to use this opportunity to explore the use of sensors and hands. While the swing sways at the kick of the foot, the doors automatically open and close when certain appliances are used are two people are in two opposing rooms.

the bombay house was done in collaboration with anesta iwan and kothari family (hema, dhilan, devna and anoushka).
