Writers’ Blocks
Writers’ Blocks
Located in the heart of Zirad, A family of bibliophiles spanning three generations sought to develop a parcel of land deep within the village, as a home away from the city as well as an escape for writers seeking inspiration, thus The Writers’ Blocks came into being.
The individual blocks were placed in a way so as not to disturb the existing landscape. While the Guest & Master block are placed parallel to the site boundary, The Living Block oriented at an angle narrows your line of site as you walk in to the Plaza/promenade. As you approach the south end of the plot and walk past the Living Block, one gets to take in the entire expanse of the verdant landscape.
The initial mass was made lighter by extending the roof overhang, which adds both aesthetic and functional value as Zirad receives heavy rains during the monsoon. The roof along with the natural tree canopy in the promenade also provides protection from the harsh sun on the East-West fenestrations.
