In today's video, we are gonna see how to build a spacious house in a very compact plot.
00:06.9
00:11.7
This house is called the 'House of Compositions'. It is based in Madurai.
00:11.8
00:16.6
Come let's get into the video.
00:16.7
00:21.5
00:21.6
00:26.4
Hello, I am Dameem Ansari. From Ansari Architects.
00:26.5
00:31.3
The House of Compositions is in Madurai.
00:31.4
00:40.0
The specialty of this house is that it has a very compact plot around 2400 sq.ft only
00:40.1
00:44.9
We call it as One-ground plot in Chennai.
00:45.0
00:49.8
We have designed a very spacious house in that plot. If you see the interior design, you won't believe that this property is just one ground.
00:49.9
00:54.7
Everything thinks its very spacious. I will explain you in detail in this video.
00:54.8
01:01.2
For such small plots, we recommend the slit concept for the ground floor.
01:01.3
01:09.8
It will be given as open space. In this house, we have given three car parking spaces.
01:09.9
01:14.7
There is also a multi-purpose hall. They are planning it to use as a home theatre.
01:14.8
01:19.6
There is also a spacious guest bedroom with an attached toilet.
01:19.7
01:28.1
For servants to stay with their families, there is a servant accommodation space with a servant toilet and driver toilet area.
01:28.2
01:33.0
All these facilities are located in the ground floor.
01:33.1
01:38.9
So, there will be a spacious feeling when entering the house, as there is more open space on the ground floor.
01:39.0
01:47.3
There are two stairs leading to the first floor. There is one on the outside, that directly connects
01:47.4
01:58.6
to the hall. We have employed a very important trick on the stairs.
01:58.7
02:03.5
To not make the climbing monotonous, we have lowered that particular portion of the first floor.
02:03.6
02:08.4
That hall will be three feet lower when compared to the rest of the house.
02:08.5
02:13.3
There is also another advantage with the stairs. You won't feel like climbing an entire floor.
02:13.4
02:18.2
It seems to be like the ground floor. We have employed various techniques and level differences.
02:18.3
02:23.1
We have also curated the steps by giving a landing space
02:23.2
02:28.0
So, you would get almost the ground floor feeling.
02:28.1
02:38.1
Second advantage is that, the hall seems to be very spacious when you enter.
02:38.2
02:48.1
The ceiling of the hall is almost 14 feet in height. So, it looks like a one and half floor by giving a spacious look.
02:48.2
02:53.0
This is the main attraction of this house.
02:53.1
02:57.9
Although the plot is compact, the main reason that makes it look spacious is the hall.
02:58.0
03:02.8
To achieve this, we have given that outside stairs.
03:02.9
03:07.7
There is also a staircase inside.
03:07.8
03:12.6
From the parking lobby you can easily climb up.
03:12.7
03:17.5
If rainy you can't use the outside stairs. Also, senior citizens can use the inside staircase.
03:17.6
03:22.4
There is also a lobby door. If you enter,
03:22.5
03:27.3
You can see the lift and inside staircase. If you climb up
03:27.4
03:32.2
You can reach the first-floor hall. Since we have lowered the height
03:32.3
03:38.4
it is just one wind to reach the hall. It is also very easy to climb
03:38.5
03:50.6
You can also see the wall decoration when climbing stairs from the lobby. We have used slaystone and concealed lighting with plant decorations.
03:50.7
03:55.5
There are wooden shelves given to highlight that area.
03:55.6
04:00.4
The climbing area will be interesting. When you enter, the hall
04:00.5
04:05.3
is almost one and half-floor height. The main attraction of the hall is the TV.
04:05.4
04:11.4
Around the TV, we have given a glass design, which brings in a lot of light into the hall.
04:11.5
04:16.3
One side of the wall has a very beautiful design
04:16.4
04:21.2
using shelf panneling and wooden work.
04:21.3
04:26.1
We have made it in the silver theme by using decorative panels.
04:26.2
04:31.0
We will see about the exteriors of the house.
04:31.1
04:35.9
It has both negative and positive void spaces.
04:36.0
04:48.3
We have also used different materials like fundarmax cladding, stone finishes, glasses, white colour walls
04:48.4
04:53.2
Since we have used multiple compositions, we call this house as the 'House of Compositions'
04:53.3
04:58.1
The voids, different materials, and complicated items to construct this house.
04:58.2
05:03.0
So, it is called the 'House of Compositions'. The exterior of this house
05:03.1
05:07.9
has more projectory surfaces. You can see a glass box projecting.
05:08.0
05:12.8
It is actually the bedroom porch on the second floor. If you see on the right side
05:12.9
05:17.7
there will be a volume of box projection. In the center, you have a negative void space.
05:17.8
05:22.6
We have composed this will different materials
05:22.7
05:27.5
so we call it house of composition. Since it is also a corner plot, there are many interesting elevations.
05:27.6
05:32.4
On both sides, we have achieved different compositions using different materials.
05:32.5
05:37.3
If you climb through these front stairs, you can see the beautiful Farhola design
05:37.4
05:42.2
It is also covered with glass, which gives additional rain protection
05:42.3
05:51.0
to the exterior staircase. The compound wall of this house has a rustic stone finishes and slaystone finish
05:51.1
06:01.1
The decorative panel treatment on the side of the living room can also be seen on the ceiling in a continuous manner.
06:01.2
06:11.1
We have created a homogenous look with it. If you take six steps from the hall, there is a dining area. This is the main level of the house.
06:11.2
06:21.7
From there, you can go to the kitchen and a bedroom. Plus, on the front side of the dining, there is a study room. All these are of the same level.
06:21.8
06:26.6
Although the dining room is small, it is so cosy and comfortable.
06:26.7
06:31.5
On one side, you have the lift entrance.
06:31.6
06:39.9
Usually, the lift entrance will be very narrow, but we have given adequate space and designed it with wooden paneling.
06:40.0
06:44.8
So, there is no conjested feeling.
06:44.9
06:49.7
Usually, home lifts are compact and only three people can use them at a time.
06:49.8
06:54.6
If treated with a shaft design, you get the spacious feel.
06:54.7
06:59.5
On another side of the dining hall, there is a washbasin setup with shelves.
06:59.6
07:04.4
We also call it pantry counter.
07:04.5
07:09.3
You can store the dining items in it.
07:09.4
07:14.2
It looks beautiful to store designer utensil wear.
07:14.3
07:19.1
From the dining area, there is also a beautiful balcony.
07:19.2
07:24.0
There is also a way to the bedroom and kitchen.
07:24.1
07:30.9
The kitchen door is designed using glass and the kitchen is styled in a contemporary manner.
07:31.0
07:35.8
We have designed it beautifully using glass cabinets.
07:35.9
07:40.7
White and beige is the main theme of the kitchen here.
07:40.8
07:50.6
This is a caped Kitchen. The walls, floor, and the cabinet in-between spaces are designed using the temple white artificial marble.
07:50.7
07:57.6
So, maintenance is also very easy. The large slabs will not have many joints. So you can easily clean it.
07:57.7
08:02.5
The floor of this entire house is done using an Italian marble called Brasia Arora.
08:02.6
08:07.4
We have exclusive marble laying teams for this.
08:07.5
08:12.3
If you see after laying, you cannot even find the joints.
08:12.4
08:22.1
These are also called the Tampered joints. Even if you sit and examine, you can't find the joints. It will be a seamless appearance.
08:22.2
08:32.8
The Brusia Arora is not a normal marble and it won't be plain. It has interesting designs.
08:32.9
08:37.7
So, using that as a theme, we have made interesting designs.
08:37.8
08:45.3
We have incorporated many things by taking inspiration from the marble to suit the house
08:45.4
08:50.2
On the first floor, there is a beautiful study come Puja room.
08:50.3
08:55.1
In the study room, there is a Puja niche in the corner.
08:55.2
09:00.0
The niche is set up in form of wood work panneling.
09:00.1
09:12.2
It also connects the ceiling. There is also a beautiful sitting window that is front-facing. It also brings a lot of light into the study room.
09:12.3
09:17.1
The sitting window also has a cushioned seating and a storage space below.
09:17.2
09:22.0
Another side of the study room, has the study table.
09:22.1
09:26.9
This floor also has a guest bedroom.
09:27.0
09:31.8
It has two different kind of wall papers overall.
09:31.9
09:36.7
There is also a small TV unit, with a wooden wall treatment that goes up to the ceiling
09:36.8
09:41.6
which drops on the opposite side to become a study table. That's another interesting finish in this room.
09:41.7
09:46.5
The Tv unit also has a wooden panneling.
09:46.6
09:51.4
It comes till the floor on the opposite side.
09:51.5
09:56.3
That is another interesting feature. There is also an attached toilet in this room.
09:56.4
10:02.5
For all the toilets of this house, we have used mixed materials for the finish.
10:02.6
10:07.4
Instead of leaving it as a full wall title, we have also used marbles.
10:07.5
10:17.3
Since this is also a tri-bathroom, we have given more wood treatment in the wall paneling with the beautiful niche designs.
10:17.4
10:24.9
We have also mixed and used the titles. So all the toilets will look interesting like this.
10:25.0
10:29.8
We have used a lot of Italian marble in the hall and dining area, in the L shape.
10:29.9
10:34.7
On the wall that connects the staircase to the kitchen and bedroom.
10:34.8
10:39.6
Since more people use this area, there is a high chance of walls getting dirty.
10:39.7
10:50.1
So, not only for the beauty aspect, we have given Italian marble wall cladding for easy maintenance also.
10:50.2
10:55.0
So, you do not have to paint it frequently.
10:55.1
10:59.9
The complete wall of the staircase has the Italian marble cladding,
11:00.0
11:04.8
So, it is very easy to maintain.
11:04.9
11:09.7
This concept can also be seen in the second floor walls.
11:09.8
11:14.6
So you get two advantages. It is easy to maintain and gives a more rich look to the house.
11:14.7
11:19.5
There is a master bedroom on the second floor, which has many interesting features.
11:19.6
11:27.9
These is a study niche designed as a separate area
11:28.0
11:35.9
Also, there is an interesting sit-out area here that has a glass wall.
11:36.0
11:40.8
From the bedroom, you can get that sit-out feel.
11:40.9
11:57.3
The theme of this bedroom is in glossy black colour, laminate and walnut finish
11:57.4
12:02.2
Using this we have created an interesting L shape corner.
12:02.3
12:07.1
The wardrobe is also merged with this. There is also a glass door here
12:07.2
12:12.0
It is like a walk-in closet.
12:12.1
12:16.9
If you enter, there is a big slide-in wardrobe here.
12:17.0
12:21.8
Behind the sliding wardrobe, there is an attached toilet.
12:21.9
12:30.5
Like I said before, the major area of the toilet is covered by a marble finish and wooden treatment.
12:30.6
12:35.4
The rain shower model is fixed here.
12:35.5
12:40.3
The heater is also concealed in the false ceiling which is designed in form of a cut-out panel.
12:40.4
12:45.2
There is bedroom three in this floor.
12:45.3
12:50.1
It is designed in white decorative panel work.
12:50.2
13:00.5
There is a small Tv unit with wall panneling going on top of the ceiling and decending on the opposite side.
13:00.6
13:05.4
Behind the bed also there is a horizontal decorative panel.
13:05.5
13:10.3
It matches the style of the room.
13:10.4
13:16.1
Both the panels are in the branching style. Next is bedroom four. The most interesting bedroom in the house.
13:16.2
13:21.0
The reason is that there is a glass box which you can see in the elevation.
13:21.1
13:25.9
That glass box is present in the bedroom four.
13:26.0
13:30.8
It is of complete floor to ceiling height.
13:30.9
13:35.7
At the bottom of the glass box, we have given a sitting edge.
13:35.8
13:43.3
It is finished using marble. Kids love these kinds of finish and lay there with a little cushion.
13:43.4
13:48.2
You can sit there and read, etc. It is a very interesting space.
13:48.3
13:55.0
Plus, the presence of ceiling to floor glass, makes the room well lit and gives a classy look.
13:55.1
14:00.4
It is also in a contemporary style. There is a lot of light coming from the glass design.
14:00.5
14:11.8
Since it is present on the second floor, there is no security problem, so we avoided grill usage.
14:11.9
14:16.7
There are also one or two opening glasses which you can use
14:16.8
14:21.6
for ventilation.
14:21.7
14:26.5
That glass is a very important feature. This room also has an attached toilet.
14:26.6
14:31.4
It has mixed materials, marble, wooden paneling, concealed lighting and many more
14:31.5
14:36.3
On the ceiling, there is also cut-out paneling to conceal the heater.
14:36.4
14:41.2
This spacious house is designed in a compact plot.
14:41.3
14:46.1
and a very good example of ours. Thanks for watching this video.
14:46.2
15:07.0
