Luxurious House Design of N85 Residence by Morphogenesis

India based architecture firm Morphogenesis have design a luxury and elegant residence called N85. This house situated in New Delhi, India. The house is largely built with conventional Indian building methods: a concrete frame with brick infill on the south and west. To exploit views and light on the north and east, the architects used slender steel columns with floor-to-ceiling glass fenestration. Exterior surfaces are finished with handcrafted limestone and Ipe wood. Low-e glass, high thermal mass on the west side, a double barrel vaulted roof that lets light in and also insulates the house, and thermal buffers such as trees in front of windows for shade add up to drastically lower than usual air-conditioning load.

 The house can be identified by overlapping spatial categories split into three levels: the private domain of the nuclear family (bedrooms and breakfast room), the shared inter-generational spaces such as the family room, kitchen and dining areas, and the fluid public domain of the lobby and living spaces. The ceiling is dotted by circular skylights with an interior garden below, a green sanctuary within the house. The house is imagined as a porous object whereby air movement and visual connectivity permeate into the built form.
