On a quiet residential street in New Delhi, this monumental circular aperture sits within a square brick screen. This architectural intent defines the project as an apartment building developed by a family for private use.

The facade of this building could be seen as a response to the context or a reflection on materiality. Inspired by Louis Kahn's form-making was the act of puncturing seemingly vast brick and concrete walls with soaring geometric voids, creating dramatic shadows as the harsh Indian sun made its way through the sky.

Principal Architect Amit Khanna explains the design concept behind this residence located in Safdarjang, New Delhi.
