PIXEL BOX

This contemporary yet reminiscent double-storeyed residence in Madurai architecturally translates itself as the lamp of its street for the client Mr. Ramachandran and hence tries to eliminate the darkness of the street with its pixel-light patterns casting a sense of curiosity for its trespassers. The modern architects in chennai done this pixel box residencial project at 2017.This was achieved by the precision of CNC (computer numerical control) technology on mild steel metal sheets to become a shimmering highlight on the stand-alone structure.

The ground floor with its welcoming porch utilizes the maximum of its fifteen feet frontage by accommodating a car park alongside and uninterruptedly leading to the foyer inside it. The foyer whose decor wall does not go unnoticed, is also the face of a primary divider of the private-public zoning in the residence. Standing there, with a gaze to the left gives a view of the living area which overlooks the adjoining portico, followed by the dining, and kitchen while a turn to the right gives a glimpse of the bedroom that faces the frontage of the residence.

The site was a linear stretch of land of about 20 feet by 80 feet, designing a residence would come with its struggles especially when it came to sorting the ventilation pattern - and hence some attempts to architecturally solve this concern had led to the formation of spaces such as the sit out area in the ground floor adjacent to the living room, thereby creating a niche of abundant cross-ventilation supply.

With bathrooms that have an in-house jacuzzi, leisure indoors had certainly taken the upper-hand approach of design all over. The planar arrangements of the first floor are an illustrious impression of the one below which again comprises a separate living area that unfolds into a balcony, dining, kitchen, utility, and a bedroom whose balcony is the crown of the entire residence as it hosts the aforementioned pixelated luminary jaali.

The residence becomes an epitome of form, function, and utility as each floor has been provided with the full-fledged function of a double-bedroom villa while integrating the pixel box making it almost impossible to not recognize it every time we pass by.
