The Cocoon

Built on a 500 sq.yard plot in the leafy quiet locality of Sector 17 in Gurgaon, this suburban residence sets out to provide an oasis of repose and tranquillity for its occupants- far removed from the hustle of the city while being in it.

Screened from external views by a lush garden, the house is formed by its open spaces, gardens and courtyards which form a backdrop to the occupant couple's quiet lifestyle. Open interlocking volumes of internal space flow into each other- with flexible partitioning systems providing for occasional separation for effective cooling/ heating or privacy.

The low quiet form and simple finishes allow for an earthy mellow mood while a play of scales, volumes and levels enliven the interior.
