Meaning of Family – Activities which are meaningful
Each Character driven Spaces –
A House of Memories – Memory of creating something which is rooted to origins.
Memory of a Vad Tree – (Doshi) dada, his presence over time. His paintings makes me feel his presence within the house.
A house naturally evolves with time, it absorbs, nourishes, celebrates and gives shade. The spaces within develops an emotional attachment which draws you back to themselves over a period of time.
Memory of Temple – As the life unfolds, memories & experiences recollects and arouses the spaces evolved over time, having an emotional content to go deep within the core for ‘Manthan’ (मंथन)
Memory of Verandah – Social space for gathering (interaction)
As the stages of life evolves with time, so as some spaces fits in memories, spaces that make you ponder, communicate, imbibe, adopt, grow and created with nature and varied characters surrounding it. A threshold of inside outside… Acknowledging togetherness ( उत्सव ) to enjoy and live a meaningful life.
