Otla House

This first home is inspired and defined by the sustainable ‘otla’ or verandah; a semi-covered space that runs along its periphery. The main spaces of the house look into a central open-to-sky courtyard on one side and the ‘otla’ on the other.

Conceived as a highly porous structure that allows nature’s elements to permeate freely, this home encourages introspection and social interaction in equal measure.
