The House of Thirds

On an irregular, five-sided plot in Delhi, The House of Thirds transforms geometric eccentricity into architectural ingenuity. Rising seven storeys, the home embraces its skewed boundaries, organising its spaces into three distinct segments linked by two deep courts. One opens to the sky as a Zen garden, the other as a water court, bringing light, ventilation and moments of pause into the dense urban setting. Pivoting solid-wood shutters temper the southern sun while preserving privacy. A restrained palette of greys, textured materials and brass-filled concrete cracks lends the interiors a quiet character, turning imperfection into an unexpected expression of beauty.
