Atulya Residence

The family members are  parents, four  kids and a brother. 

Located in akash nagar Ghaziabad , Uttar Pradesh, set on a 1600 square feet site, the first challenge of the project was to find a balance between the built and the existing green areas and, site the building in a way to harmonize this landscape with family living.

The owners envisioned a home for both entertaining friends and relaxing as a family. The plan groups spaces for efficiency and minimizes unnecessary circulation. The spirit of efficiency extends to the limited material palette—brick, concrete, stone—simple materials paired with energy-efficient glass and ready access to light-filled spaces. The design encourages natural ventilation and passive solar shading, while the roof and terraces collects rainwater that is used to recharge the groundwater.

The building exterior is intentionally subdued in color and texture, allowing the lush natural surroundings to take precedence. 

The ground level has the entrance lobby, parking  a drawing room, family lobby, a kitchen with a dining room, grandparents’ and brother’s bedrooms. The first level has the children’s rooms, the master suite, a laid back living room to sit and relax during the day.
