Row House, Andheri, Mumbai
Due to the lack of controlling design norms, for the MHADA Housing Colony, the access to the Thakur Row House is a parody of architectural styles typifying the aspirations of an upwardly mobile society. As a rejection of these surroundings, the house has a reversed frontage. The visually light staircase, its position as also the double height were crucial to adding a feeling of spaciousness in the otherwise narrow rowhouse. The bedrooms on the second floor have louvered entrances to allow for ventilation.

The house, which is devoid of any expensive finishing or elaborate detailing, is a successful exercise in interplay of graphic volumes.
