Residence - Biome

Arkere House

A residence designed by BIOME about three years back. A ground floor rather small building existed at site which needed to be made larger. When we started demolishing some of the parts of the old building we realized it was also built with mud blocks!This house harvests all its water and is made totally accessible.The house plinth is reached by a ramp, the toilets are wheelchair accessible in the ground floor and the its lit very well with a central skylight.The skylight has a very interesting pattern - a take from Escher but with a twist....
