An inward sanctuary shaped by folds in stone, light, and space. Tucked into a densely packed neighbourhood in New Delhi and adjoined on three sides, Crease House rethinks the urban infill typology through a series of deliberate curvilinear interventions. Designed for a family of six across three generations, the house is both an architectural experiment and a nuanced response to site constraints integrating structural innovation with intimate spatiality.
The house is organised around three sweeping curves that traverse its vertical volume. These arcs divide each floor into three distinct zones, while simultaneously enveloping a central void that acts as a light well, visually and spatially binding all levels. In doing so, the design inverts the typical sectional hierarchy of Delhi homes, drawing daylight and visual relief into the depth of the plan.
The central atrium culminates in a skylight above and spills out into three small courtyards at its base dispersing light across all levels and facilitating natural ventilation. These voids extend the life of the home into small pockets of nature, while the angular interstitial spaces natural byproducts of the curving walls are claimed as green corners distributed across the house.
