B-one house by cadence architects has a private courtyard

bangalore’s B-one house by cadence architects includes a private outdoor courtyard

set within a densely populated residential bangalore neighborhood, this house by indian firm cadence architects adopts an introverted appearance. situated on a plot measuring 45 by 90 feet (13.7 x 27.4 meters), the program of ‘B-one’ has been laid out in an ‘H-shaped’ plan articulated around a private external courtyard positioned at the center of the scheme. this enclosed garden becomes the focal point of the project’s interior.

upon approaching the property, one encounters a predominately opaque façade, punctured with a grouping of small apertures. however, the elevation’s most distinctive aspect is a bold sculptural feature elevated above the ground plane and positioned below the roof canopy. this feature also gives the residence a strong visual identity when viewed from the street. this element is an external manifestation of the home’s media room and its neighboring balcony. cadence architects has articulated a direct contrast between the façade and the sculpture appendage — articulated in terms of both materiality and form.

internally, primary living accommodation is found at ground level along with a large bedroom with en-suite facilities. the ‘puja room’ (a spiritual prayer space) is further conceptualized as part of the courtyard opposite. two further bedrooms are found upstairs, alongside the media room that cantilevers above the driveway and entrance.
