The brief was to design a passive solar, energy efficient home on a tight, urban infill block. The Site measured 20’x35’ and garage access was possible only at the front. Solar access was compromised by an existing two-storey neighbouring building and the block was bordered by high parapet walls on both sides. As per client’s needs,the design had to accommodate a Lift shaft along with internal and external staircases which took up most of the space.
         To overcome these design challenges the front living room was clubbed with the kitchen & dining space. Two skylights were introduced to increase solar access and make the building energy efficient.
