Five Gardens, by Samir Raut

‘Five Gardens’ emerges from studies of several house plans. Material here is explored for both structure and detail. The pavilion / house reveals itself to the surrounding landscape, flora and fauna in novel assemblies. The project intimately plays with economy of material, pleasure of craft and lightness of structure. While the pavilion seamlessly connects the outside with the inside, it lends itself to create personalised spaces within itself.
