This experimental, bold, and fun residence was done for a young artist. We wanted to complete the project in a short time span so Arshad Shahid Abdulla(ASA) explored alternate unconventional building materials. “When you are up against a wall, that is when innovation is needed.” – Shahid Abdulla.
Taking from the architects words, the Roy house was innovative in its unique construction method, using a steel framework, erected in a short time frame without compromising safety and quality. Readily available tubular structural saencdt imonesta l decking helped achieve a 3-story structure including floors and roofs in just 2-3 weeks. The house is both light and airy in its structure and through sunlight permeates every space of the house.
