Ashok Patel Residence by Matharoo Associates

Architects: Matharoo Associates Location: Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India

The attempt in this design is to address this very paradox and as a starting point, on one hand it looks at the inward looking traditional ‘Pol’ houses of Ahmedabad which are deep rooted in the memories of migrant owners of this house while on the other hand it looks for inspiration in the post- independence ‘Open Plot Dwelling’ best exemplified by Le-Corbusier’s ‘Shodan House’, also in Ahmedabad.
