The Brick House by RLDA<\/a>, is an impressive experiment with the acumen of brick as a modern building material. Rahoul Singh and Lakshmi Chand Singh, the spearheads at RLDA have used the sun, shade and shadow rendering a static as well as a dynamic dimension to the spaces at once. Strategically placed courtyards enhance the micro-climate while regulating the flow of spaces. The building expresses itself as a terracotta fabric that is a composition of bricks and their shadows. The presence of a metal trellis and trees further contribute towards creating a \u201csense of place and a sense of space\u201d while casting graphic and abstract shadows on the masonry walls. The architecture is omnipresent- sometimes manifested through material, sometimes with their effect.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The house is sited towards the southern end of a 6,780 sq. m. plot in New Delhi, India. \u201cThis allowed us to take advantage of the natural slope of the land, the location of an existing tree and a previously built driveway on its eastern boundary,\u201d explains Rahoul Singh. The natural and built landscapes together create a habitat that is culturally situated and situating. \u201cFamiliarity with traditional materials and the confidence that they are long-lasting and will age well made us opt for brick as the project\u2019s protagonist,\u201d say the principal architects at RLDA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
