Description:
- A long, rectangular garden structure in the form of a loggia separating two small end pavilions. The loggia, consisting of five bays articulated by freestanding Doric columns, is approached by steps across its entire width and opens onto a series of niches occupied by sculptural figures in the rear wall. The end pavilions, which show on the main exterior elevation a pedimented window framed by rustication and a molded arch, are square in plan and capped by a dome not expressed on the exterior.

Project
Copper House II
AP182.S1.2009.D1
Description:
File documents an executed project for a private house in Chondi, Maharashtra, India. Copper House II is the second residence of a couple from Mumbai, who visit the house for a few days each week. It is located in a dense grove of mango trees near a brook that floods each year during the monsoon. To protect the inhabitants from the encroaching landscape, the house is set on an artificial high ground made of dirt dug for a well from the site itself. The open-air courtyard at the centre of the plan is paved in black basalt stones that also allow rainwater to drain below the house. On the ground floor, large horizontal windows are sheathed in slatted ironwood and copper mesh, providing a form of camouflage for the house while still permitting views out from the living spaces. The two boxy spaces upstairs are private: one contains a master bedroom and study, the second a smaller bedroom. The thin copper sheets that cover the upper floor are waterproof and will develop a verdigris over time, further concealing the house within its setting. File contains drawings, photographs, models, and a video recording.
