Text description provided by the architects. House on 46 is a multi-generation house on a tight urban plot in south Bangalore. The intent was to understand how domesticity, nature, and privacy can be layered within compact urban plots while offering dynamic and generous layouts that can be adapted by the inhabitants. On the street-side facade, a system of operable metal screens creates the outermost 'skin' or exoskeleton and starts blurring the boundaries between private and public. It creates a dynamic connection with the street spectator, with a fluid porousness according to the angle of visual engagement. Made using slim mild-steel fins of varying sizes and thicknesses, the panels are stiffened through the pattern, at the same time minimizing waste owing to the varying lengths.
