Khale House,
Pune

The existing area for the Khale House being a smaller plot, the dividing walls were removed to open the space up. As a result, the kitchen area became large and since the client enjoys hosting guests, it was favourable for them. Another space-increasing feature is seen in the ferrocemented walls of the house. The sitting windows in almost all rooms make sure that less space is consumed by the furniture.

​

The living room opens up into a backyard and the dining area has a skylight making sure that the space remains ventilated and ample sunlight is received. There is a small verandah for the grandparents room and almost all the remaining bedrooms either have an adjoining balcony/verandah-like structure which doubles as an extending living space.

​

The terrace is landscaped as per the clients’ needs and has a lounge area too. The sloping roof ensures that there is less load on the existing old structure. The terrace is also accessible by a small lift which is beneficial for the elderly.​
