An endearing exploration of spaces below, on and above ground connected by a network of courtyards from intimate to regal, the family has been so forthcoming in realizing a true piece of Architecture. The uniqueness of Spasm is that we have always endeavored to build the script of our architecture with specificity of the place, the people and the particular site. The material - Copper in this case sheathes a ventilated facade around the home mitigating the extreme heat and increasing the life of the build immensely.
We chose to lay out a three level home, a body that sinks in, sits on and floats over the surrounding greens. The intent being to deliver a truly contemporary modern home fully built in Indian stones, woods, plasters, metals etc. Raw, the patina of the copper has already begun to reveal itself, to serve as a marker of its age, a breathing - graceful body. We enjoy the celebration of true uncoated textures of such noble materials.
