About The Retreat निवासी आंतरिक रचना
द रिट्रीट हे भारतातील वडोदरा शहराच्या बाहेरील भागात वसलेले एक विकेंड घर आहे. या आंतरिक रचनेने पारंपरिक भारतीय घरांच्या एकसंध, स्थापत्यीय अवकाशरचनेतून प्रेरणा घेत तिला समकालीन संदर्भात साकारले आहे. जाड भारवाहक भिंतींना कोरून त्यामध्ये कोनाडे तयार करण्यात आले असून त्यांना पलंग, टेबल आणि साठवणीच्या जागांचा आकार देण्यात आला आहे, आणि त्यावर करड्या सिमेंटचा पोत देऊन एकसंध पृष्ठभाग निर्माण करण्यात आला आहे. मऊ निळ्या आणि हिरव्या छटा, तसेच लाकूड व धातूचे घटक या जागेला उठाव देतात. एकाच लीव्हरने जोडलेल्या सानुकूल खिडक्या क्रॉस व्हेंटिलेशन शक्य करतात आणि बाहेरील शेतांचे दृश्य चौकटीत बंदिस्त करतात. या शांत वातावरणामुळे एक साधी आणि निवांत जीवनशैली जोपासली जाते.

- Unique Properties
- The Retreat is a weekend home that takes cues from the monolithic spatiality of vernacular Indian houses, in a contemporary context. The monolithic shell creates surfaces to sit, sleep and incorporate other functions. The material palette plays with textures and soft colours to enliven a stark space, which focuses only on the essentials. It offers a homogenous space and a clutter-free environment that focuses on a simple, relaxed lifestyle and mental wellbeing.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Built up Area: 205 sq mt.

- Production Technology
- The interiors are designed within an existing single-storied, load bearing structure with 18" thick walls. To create a homogenous environment, walls were carved in to create niches, and modulate the surfaces as beds, tables or storage, and enveloped with a cement texture. Repurposing an outdoor planter into the circular centre table and old brass glasses into light fixtures, the design delves into the uniquely Indian characteristic of "Jugaad" - non-conventional and frugal innovations that come about due to restrictions of cost and the availability of materials.
- Design Challenge
- Most of the furniture is custom-made or built at site to blend with the surfaces. The challenge was also to develop a simple system for the fenestration that allows for maximum openings at a minimum budget. The design of a series of window panes connected by a single lever that also functions as the handle, was an exercise in simple mechanics. This system is used throughout the house and allows for cross ventilation to keep the house cool in its hot and dry weather.
- Research
- Field Research
Objectives: To study the vernacular houses of the region to design a space that is rooted in the context
Methodology & Tools: Photographic and illustrative documentation during field visit. Analysis post visit.
Insights: Situated in a rural India, the mud houses respond to the hot & dry climatic conditions of the region. A single material, mud plaster, envelopes the floor and the walls to make the space cool, sustainable, and hygienic. Owing to economic limitations, furniture is bare minimum, and storage and ledges are created within the walls for various functions. - Inspiration
- Located outside the city of Vadodara, The Retreat is envisioned as an escape from the chaos, noise and the fast-paced life of the city. Inspired from the vernacular mud houses found in the surrounding vicinity, a subdued natural material palette is used to create a cocoon to recharge yourself from the daily grind. The premise was to use local knowledge and create a liveable space using that keeps you grounded and as close to nature as possible.
- Project Duration
- The project is Located in Vadodara, India. The project duration was 10 months and was completed in March 2019.
- Operation Flow
- The weekend home consists of two bedrooms and a fluid living space that incorporates the living areas, dining, kitchen, bar and lots of free space to lounge. Custom designed fenestrations allow for maximum openings, and frame the greens outside. The vaulted ceiling defines the central bay of the house and visually leads to the outdoor space that overlooks the fields beyond.
A grey cement texture envelopes the entire space to create a homogenous environment, accented by soft blue and green tones, wood and metal elements. - Team Members
