DADA NIVAS, DADA BHAGWAN TRUST, KELANPUR
The Dada Bhagwan institution is very respected and popular worldwide for the kind of work that is done by it. The opportunity to design the private residence for the current head of the dada bhagwan organization was a prestigious one.
The design was aimed at keeping it simple yet subtle. The house was designed around a central courtyard to provide an ethnic look and moreover, to suit the conventional Indian lifestyle. A man of his stature would definitely seek a balance with the outside and the inside world within his home. Special care was taken to design appropriate spaces rather than extravagant ones. The exposed brick cladding and the sloping slab were chosen to further enhance the calm demeanor around the beautiful centre of Kelanpur (near Baroda).
