Architecture is a responsible art. We believe in going beyond the physical brief of the project. The eagerness to reach beyond has always kept us asking new questions to our beliefs and concerns, trying to find the truth. We at Archoholik Architects strive to work on the human side of the building.
Each new project creates an opportunity to deal with various concerns like human needs, environment, socio-cultural issues, building materials, cost etc. An in depth thinking over these concerns leads us to responsible aesthetics. Thus we approach design inside out.
The spaces serve the physical requirements, but are constantly aware of the unknown. The unknown that is omnipresent in the uncertainty of nature; in a beam of sunlight, in the surprise of rainfall, in the growth of a tree.
If all our designs can make the users aware of the continuous flow of life and realize the beauty we consider our job done.

The exposed brick exterior finish stands in contrast with the plastered surfaces.

The design decisions were a response to the clients appreciation of materials in their natural state of appearance.
A small piece of land with budget restrictions lead to a optimum space design
The house is roofed with a simple manglore tiled roof over the G.I.sheets creating an air gap between the two and helping to create a thermal insulation layer.
