Just saw this section and could not help but put up a few drawings of my house we recently began construction upon. I saw a few threads and realised a lot of people are into architecture so this may interest you or may not because I beleive people have different design ideas / tastes.
A bit of background on the project :
1. Architech : Mr.Aniket Bhagwat (who did this hotel in India called devigarh and is currently doing projects beyonds words can describe. His father also happens to be the president of Landscape architects)
2. Interior Designer : Mrs. Samira Rathod (The sweetest person in the world and again excellent design skills)
3. Clients : Me! A maniac for design but of that kind which arises without looking at pictures / books or trying to get inspiration from someone else's work but I do love Kengo Kuma and a few others.
We started designing this something in July 2006 and only last week we came to a 100% standstill on the final design but a few details including staircase etc are still to be done but we are working on it. I only briefed the Architect one thing,"this must be a long laid & unusual" and then he did a few sketches all of which were stunning but we picked this one to detail as I believe something about it put me in a greater joy then the rest..
Do comment on these drawings and you may criticize it but please be a little soft as it's a dream thing i'm doing and god willing everything will work out the way it should
And Sorry I may not have uploaded the pics correct but if someone can help I would be thankful.
The below is like the skin or the outer layer of the house which faces the street in the centre and this is composed of the following materials as represented on the diagrams
1. Frosted Glass
2. Wood
3. Stone
4. Stainless Steel
5. Transparent Concrete (Litracon) This is something we still havent take a decision on due to costs of getting it from Eu. to India including transport costs and also Import duties etc.
Here is a graphic layout of the skeleton of the skin
Like I said the construction just began a few days back and due to rains it's at a standstill but I do hope with my fingers crossed this works well because I have gone to the worlds ends to do this and it's always been a dream having a house of this kind with 2 glass bridges connecting the private and public areas of the house and my Ferrari parked in the centre of the house
The nice cars etc will come later but now the priority is the interiors of this house and also the home theatre where some options I am thinking of are B&O BeoLab 5 (due to it's looks) or Dynaudio Evidence temptation in the front with in walls at the back with a Plinius / Mcintosh / Mark Levinson Amp but again these decisions will take them with what goes best with my final interior layout.
Guys do comment and i'm sure some of you can maybe help improve / enhance a few details and i'll also keep you update with the progress and if there are more changes as the site keeps going ahead thats if any one is interested lol
