Aatmaja

LOCATION: Manipur, Ahmedabad
TYPOLOGY: Private residence
BUILT AREA: 12,000 sq ft
STATUS: Completed

Set on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, Aatmaja is a bespoke residence designed around an elevated living concept. A tranquil courtyard entry with a water body sets the approach. The ground floor is given entirely to private recreation: a covered pool, a gym and a theatre. The first floor holds the family’s living spaces, drawn as one connected sequence.

The architecture is a celebration of raw materiality. Exposed RCC, organic brickwork and rustic interiors are held together into a timeless family sanctuary.
