Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: The context
Monolithically pitched on a hilltop escarpment, is a cube-
like constitution called ‘Elements’. It attentively witnesses
the meandering waters of the Zuari river flowing by
from its vantage point, breathing in silent meditation.
The hilltop design intervention is more than just a calm
spectator, in a sparsely populated town in Goa's coastal city.
It is in fact home to 100 abodes and several recreational
amenities. The upscale development conceals a systematic
spatial arrangement that is unique, setting the stage for
contemporary communal living.
The Facade
The external profile of the built form, manifests a linear
lattice-like composition of white painted vertical and
horizontal structural elements. It is the sheer simplicity of
this trellis like pattern that creates a unique minimalist and
modern statement to the Architectural language.
