The house is basically a narrow, 2.2m and long vaulted space contained within the brick masonry with the various activities arranged in a row, like in a train. They are placed so that each activity can spill over on the north east side in the form of alcoves and projections, and on the southwest, under the large 4m overhang provided by the main vaulted roof. This way the design of the house ensures that the activities are cocooned into private secure spaces, while the spillover in the living areas are large and open to nature. The house is simple, with clearly defined lines and masses, yet the play in the volumes is such that it becomes hard to distinguish where the inside ends and the outside begins. This play of indoors and outdoors is quite a marked feature, as it goes far beyond mere inter-penetration.
Long steps create a further demarcation of spaces, and they continue on the outside into the garden.
The south-west fa ade is a transparent wooden structure with a mesh to allow full view of the sunset, while the vault overhang provides adequate shade and ensures that the heat and glare of the direct sun does not reach the cool interiors. The house is characterised with a cavity wall at the north side that connects the insides with the exteriors. The structure is massive, with an impressive fa ade scaled down due to the smaller achakul bricks of size 18cmx2.5cm, with raked joints filled with lime cement mortar. To make the house more climatically responsive, outer walls were designed thick. While the house is open to a picturesque view, keeping the interiors free from glare and heating up, the double height volume of the house enhances the air stack movement, thus keeping the insides cool.
