OUTRE’ HOUSE
Residence | New Delhi
AREA 14500 SQFT LOCATION NEW DELHI PHOTOGRAPHY ANDRE J FANTHOME
Large urban residences both register and articulate financial and aspirational value. Catering as much to their inhabitants’ needs as to their whims, they are, at once, spaces of private indulgence as also objects of a more socially motivated aesthetic expression.
Outré House attempts a rediscovery of the singular and distinctive, specifically, in the working of humble materials; on-site and by hand. It attempts to do so by recentring the bond between making and material.
Ironically, the search for the unusual in contemporary urban architecture seems akin to a walk in a “walled garden” of ubiquitous aesthetics.
Outré House also rekindles the relationship between the crafted and the natural. The weave between the handmade and the natural further positions this design away from the industrial.
The curvilinearity of Outré House creates more fluid spatial formations and helps create smoothly transitioning spaces.
