When it comes to a residence, there are certain standard expectations to meet the exacting demands of a contemporary lifestyle. While contextual resonance is welcomed, the built expanse is still expected to be conventional in approach, without which the comfort desired is oft perceived to get diluted. Yet, architect Vinu Daniel of Wallmakers comes up with designs and construction methodologies for his residential projects where the approach is not only totally unconventional, but the emerging edifice is so in tune with its context as to leave the least footprint.
His recent projects, Shikhara House, The Ledge, and The Debris House, are classic examples of this, where the totally unconventional approach has put up unique yet cheerful residences with a sustainable quotient in each reigning high. All of Daniel’s projects are incidentally executed after long sojourns at the site where the multiple possible alternative approaches are explored and experimented by physically being present through the entire construction process.
