The House of Dancing Cactus in Pondicherry is a unique two-storey guest house designed to evoke imagination while utilizing locally sourced bricks. The facade is characterized by its brutalist style, featuring exposed bricks arranged in dynamic patterns that imitate sea waves and enhance structural identity. The ground floor integrates living spaces with outdoor connections, including a plunge pool and a north-facing orientation for optimal light. A carefully designed staircase links the social and intimate areas, ensuring seamless interaction throughout the spaces while maintaining privacy and aesthetic appeal.
The house, inspired by local architecture and designed with exposed bricks, aims to mirror the coastal waves of Pondicherry while invoking a sense of imagination.
Careful manipulation of brick patterns creates both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits, allowing for reduced heat absorption while enhancing the structure's identity.
