Located at Panorama Enclave in Jawahar Nagar, Wind Chimes is a residential apartment set on 40 cents of land. The concept of this design is to use a different approach to provide a large home with many rooms, clustered together to create a feeling of compact community living in a single dwelling unit.

While ensuring adequate greenary, the innovative design endeavors to encompass all the conveniences for the end user through layout and structure. The entire façade is designed to optimize climatic considerations and the materials utilized provide long lasting aesthetic value and functional efficacy.

The design of this 4000 sq ft residential building caters from the client’s requirement to have a house that stays uninfluenced by the varying climatic conditions.A plan was conceived such that the interior spaces get ample sunlight, without heating up the building. The roof over the top floor is pitched to act as an attic buffer and abate hot and humid temperatures. To enhance natural cooling, air gaps are provided between the roof and the roof slab.
To shade the ground floor against direct exposure to the sun and to augment visual interest, a pergola has been erected with creepers trailing over it. The profusion of natural light, the lay of the rooms, etc. speak for our belief in designing meaningful structures that offer both functional utility and aesthetic superiority.
Brick tiles are used for the façade to give natural insulation to the building. The earthy combination of brick tiles and the grey pitched roof, lend colour, character and longevity to the structure.
