The central axis anchors circulation, while the adjacent lines shape the structural and programmatic zones. The plan emphasizes flow \u2014 of people, light, and air \u2014 throughout the narrow plot.<\/p>\n<p>images \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pranitborastudio\/?hl=en\">Pranit Bora<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">studio birbaadh plans a central courtyard<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One of the H-House\u2019s defining spatial elements is a slender, semi-open courtyard that Studio Nirbaadh designs to run along the northern edge. This linear void operates as a transitional spine, at once encouraging cross ventilation, drawing daylight deep into the interior, and creating a tactile connection to the outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By aligning living spaces around this planted court, the architects create a continuous visual and environmental exchange. The courtyard serves daily functions as a space for informal gatherings and passive cooling, centering the house around a living landscape.<\/p>\n<p>the H-House is located on a narrow site in Koregaon, Satara<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">a facade of brick screens<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The west-facing facade directly addresses the challenges of heat and glare through a double-layered brick screen. Custom-designed for the project, the screen filters sunlight while maintaining privacy and reducing thermal load. It also casts changing patterns across the interiors, reinforcing the dialogue between structure and environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Additional facade elements, such as deep-set windows, blank masonry surfaces, and projecting planters, are employed to fine-tune the building\u2019s thermal and visual performance. These architectural devices support a balance between openness and insulation, resulting in a structure that responds to its climate with deliberate restraint.<\/p>\n<p>Studio Nirbaadh organizes the home around three parallel longitudinal axes<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The house\u2019s elevation reflects the tripartite planning strategy. Three dominant vertical walls rise in parallel, articulated with rhythmic windows, projecting planters, and brick detailing. These features reference the H-form in silhouette, giving the house a distinctive identity within its urban context. The form negotiates with its surroundings through materiality and proportion. The architecture relies on elemental expressions like brick, wood, and shaded voids to ground the building in its climate and community.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Inside, the H-House continues its minimal and tactile approach. A palette of exposed brick and wood joinery defines the interiors, where natural light is filtered and reflected to generate a soft, shifting ambiance. Furniture and built-in elements are pared back to reinforce a sense of visual clarity and openness.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>a narrow courtyard along the northern edge brings light and ventilation into the interiors<\/p>\n<p>the courtyard also functions as a social space and cooling spine within the linear plan<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>a perforated brick screen on the west-facing facade filters light and reduces solar gain<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>the facade includes deep-set windows and projecting planters for climatic control<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>vertical masonry walls echo the H-shaped layout in the home\u2019s elevation<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:\u00a0<\/strong>H-House<\/p>\n<p><strong>architect:\u00a0<\/strong>Studio Nirbaadh<\/p>\n<p><strong>location:\u00a0<\/strong>Koregaon, Satara, India<\/p>\n<p><strong>area:\u00a0<\/strong>2,850 square feet (265 square meters)<\/p>\n<p><strong>completion:\u00a0<\/strong>2025<\/p>\n<p><strong>photography:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a9 Pranit Bora | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pranitborastudio\/?hl=en\">Pranit Bora<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>lead architects:<\/strong> Dhanesh Gandhi, Tanushree Oswal<\/p>\n<p><strong>technical team:<\/strong> Nirag Parmar, Shekhar Kadam<br \/>\n<strong>lighting engineering, consulting:<\/strong> Anavi<br \/>\n<strong>electrical engineering, consulting:<\/strong> Legrand<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/studio-nirbaadh-h-house-layered-walls-brick-screens-india-koregaon-08-05-2025\/\">studio nirbaadh\u2019s H-house is a composition of layered walls and brick screens in india<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>lofty h-house rises in a narrow plot \u00a0 The H-House by Studio Nirbaadh is a 2,850-square-foot residence located in Koregaon, a narrow urban pocket in Satara, India.
