About the project

A family home in Indore wrapped in a perforated terracotta screen. The brick lets light and breeze through to the rooms behind it, and glows like a lantern after dark. Inside, a double-height living room steps down into a sunken seating well.

Street front: terracotta walls with a perforated brick screen, framed by trees

Inside, the screen becomes a wall of display niches; light falls through a high clerestory into the living room and kitchen.
