apartments and trees

The Apartments and Trees residence is envisioned as a pavilion in a garden, oriented to views of the surrounding trees, with limestone floors polished to reflect the soft natural light.

The Apartment and Trees residences are designed as a unit of multi-family dwellings for diplomatic missions in New Delhi. A series of balconies and terraces on the periphery of the apartment, nestled in the branches of old Neem trees, provide space for private contemplation and act as a thermal buffer against the heat. The choice of grit finish (a composition of crushed Indian White marble, Kota stone and Jaisalmer stone) on the facade enabled us to collaborate with local craftsmen to create an economical and resilient skin for the architecture.
