The house has been designed using simple planning techniques. The Ground floor is the space for Artis family who are also the owners and clients. The staircase has been strategically located to ensure that the tenants living upstairs dont enter the house. The open court acts as the central source for natural ventilation and light. Adjoining this court is the kitchen and washing area , both being spaces that require proper ventilaton. The kitchen also acts as a transition space for the main bedroom at the rear end. These rooms can be combined to form a large gathering space , or be divided by a foldable partition that has been provided in between them, as per need. One of the main features of this house, is a concealed staircase at the rear, which leads up to Aartis room on the floor above, a crucial addition. The Second floor has been designed as a rentable space in the house. In addition to this is Aartis room, which is completely disconnected from the rest of the floor space. This would ensure a sense of security and privacy for Aarti. The terrace has been left open for the children to play, fresh air and as a space for drying activities. The cooler has been placed here, from where the cooling shaft carries cool air to the lower floors.
