Safdarjang Residence

On a quiet residential street in New Delhi, this monumental circular aperture sits within a square brick screen. This architectural intent defines the project as an apartment building developed by a family for private use. The facade of this building could be seen as a response to the context or a reflection on materiality. Inspired by Louis Kahn's form-making was the act of puncturing seemingly vast brick and concrete walls with soaring geometric voids, creating dramatic shadows as the harsh Indian sun made its way through the sky.
