"The Nadhyavart Residence in , designed by Atrey and Associates, mixes climatic intelligence, material honesty, and spatial refinement within brutalist architecture. The home integrates passive design strategies, calibrated geometries, and craft-driven detailings all packaged within a sweeping, curvilinear mass. This bold, texturally raw and strong form is contrasted by a terracotta brick screen, which introduces warmth and rhythm. Designed with a perforated jaali-inspired pattern, this screen functions as a breathable skin, modulating sunlight and casting dynamic shadows to balance high performance with crafted, sensory experience."
"Atrey and Associates, led by Ar. Arun Sharma, creates spatial experiences by treating architecture as a dialogue between people, nature, and structure. Every project is considers their philosophies: human-centered design, intelligent luxury, sustainability as a mindset, nature-positive architecture, detail-driven precision, creative boldness, and commitment to quality. The Nadhyavart Residence exemplifies this approach by balancing sensitivity, innovation, and craft, resulting in architecture that is purposeful, ecologically conscious, and deeply connected to the users' experience."
The Nadhyavart Residence in Delhi combines climatic intelligence, material honesty, and spatial refinement within a bold brutalist vocabulary. A sweeping curvilinear concrete mass anchors the exterior while a perforated terracotta jaali screen introduces warmth, breathability, and patterned light. Passive design strategies and calibrated geometries modulate solar gain and ventilation, producing dynamic shadows and high environmental performance. Interior and exterior textures juxtapose smooth concrete, tactile brickwork, and ribbed metal cladding to create controlled spatial tension. The design emphasizes human-centered, nature-positive principles and craft-driven detailing to deliver a purposeful, ecologically conscious home that balances structural strength with sensory richness.
