This Courtyard Home in Chandigarh has an Inverted Sloping Roof (Home Tour).

Built on a 4500 sq.ft. area, this two-storeyed home in Chandigarh is inspired from the materials used during the inception of the city. The plot size allows for thoughtful zoning and landscaping, creating multiple outdoor spaces in front and in rear that connect with the interior. Additionally, the dimensions of the plot influence the massing and placement of the home to optimize privacy.
Taking into consideration the site’s attributes, the house has been created with spaces overlooking the central courtyard. While the rooms are designed thoughtfully, the entrance, dining space, family lobby and terrace create an inviting environment collectively and adds rhythm to the architecture.

The courtyard with a retractable skylight, the inverted sloping roof, the terrace, and the double height painting are some key highlights of the project. Principal Architect walks us through the home insightfully narrating the design decisions and material palette composing this magical and warm Chandigarh home.

So pleasant to look at. Most houses in this channel are modern with so many empty spaces and harsh angles. This one looks traditional and cozy

[@studiomohenjodaro]

Thankyou.

Architecture is bit complex but house has its own soul not feel like any hotel room glad to see that

[@harshpatel653]

I loved the living room, specially the colourful and bright upholstery

[@studiomohenjodaro]

Thankyou!

[@tofanpolaki8473]

Comparatively a bigger plot area than most houses, but the design is in such a way that the vastness gets reduced or is not felt due to the closed compartment construction of each and every utility space. But if it works for the client, then no worries.

Thankyou.

The interiors suffuse the home with creativity and art. The courtyard was also integrated very well into the home.

Lovely! Beautiful palette and tastefully feminine - full of life and beauty! Would have loved to know how the butterfly roof enables the water to trickle down when it rains. Will the water accumulate in the valley portion and flow down from there or have you made some arrangements to avoid that?

[@studiomohenjodaro]

Thank you for your kind words! There are collection points at the bottom of the sloping roof, which in turn is harvested back into the ground.

[@marinathomas7820]

@@studiomohenjodaro That's great. And this idea is an inspiration for my new house. Thank you.
