CW Awards 2023: Architectural Design of the Year – Residential

Rajesh Sharma, Isha Jain, Ketan Chauhan of GM Modular and Indrajeet Saoji, smile with the gleeful team.

Mirai – House of Arches by Sanjay Puri Architects stood out starkly among other projects.

Located in Bhilwara, Rajasthan, the location experiences a harsh, hot and dry climate. It is adjoining the road on two sides, thus making it easily visible to people passing by. The additional layer of punctuated sheer walls protect the internal volumes from the desert heat.

Designed on a small corner plot of 622 sqm within a residential villa layout, Mirai is a contextual house in response to the hot desert climate of Rajasthan, India. Sectionally, the heights within are varied with an interesting play of volumes in each part of the house, bedrooms of a single volume, dining area of a double volume & a living area of an intermediate 1.5 level volume.
