Hedge House / Mindspark Architects

April 2, 2024 Hana Abdel 0

Nestled discreetly in the rural landscapes of Pathanamthitta, The Hedge unfolds as a subtle masterpiece, comprising three bedrooms and a wealth of thoughtfully designed spaces. The facade, dressed in a pristine blank white, belies the richness concealed within. An homage to climatic sensitivity, the design is a symphony of elements aimed at ensuring comfort and harmony within. The exterior narrative is painted with deliberate strokes: a first-floor wardrobe and toilet act as buffer spaces, their functional significance veiled behind the facade’s minimalist visage. Meanwhile, on the ground floor, rust-red louvers create a visual tapestry, concealing courtyards that promise a secret world within. The first-floor balcony completes this choreography, forming a shield against the relentless westward sun, a testament to the meticulous attention paid to thermal dynamics.

Outdoor activities are critical to the development of children, and we focused on solving this problem when designing the school building.
