5 months agoperforated terracotta screens enclose pool pavilion within indian residence
The eastern setback of the plot is reinterpreted as a pool pavilion defined by terracotta screens and a glass canopy. This zone functions as a transitional layer between the interior and exterior, mediating light, temperature, and privacy. The public areas are arranged between the transparent pool enclosure and the solid private block, creating a sequence of interconnected volumes that balance openness with enclosure. Sectional openings enable layered views across spaces, allowing soft reflected light from the pool to animate the interiors.
