Designing the Cuboid House in Vejalpur, Ahmedabad – by Harikrushna Pattani & Associates
A residence in Vejalpur designed around a single geometric commitment: the cuboid. At 6,500 sq.ft. across 400 sq. yards, the Cuboid House in Ahmedabad holds 5 bedrooms, 3 master suites, and a home office, all within a form that reads as one object from the street.
Project Details
- Location: Vejalpur, Ahmedabad
- Plot Area: 400 Sq. Yards
- Built-up Area: 6,500 Sq.Ft.
- Configuration: 5 BHK, 3 Master Suites
- Compliance: Vastu
The Facade
The exterior uses stone cladding across the full volume, with full-height glazing on each floor. Floor slabs extend as horizontal bands, and the top floor sits as a flat cap over the composition. One circular metal art installation on the facade is the only decorative element. No mouldings, no projections, no surface breaks.
Landscaping runs along the front boundary wall: low flowering plants at street level, green planting boxes at each floor, and climbing plants at corners. The greenery reads against the stone without the facade needing to change.
Central Glass Shaft
A full-height glass shaft sits in the center of the plan. It pulls daylight from the top of the building down through all 3 floors across the day. Interior rooms that would otherwise rely on artificial light get direct natural light through the shaft without individual skylights on each floor.
Master Suites
All 3 master suites have:
- Oversized dressing areas with dedicated storage
- Full-size ensuite bathrooms with natural light
- Private balconies with outdoor seating
One suite balcony opens to an open field view. The balcony on this floor has a rattan egg chair, potted plants, and a bronze deity sculpture, a considered, quiet outdoor space set against the stone and timber louvre wall behind it.
Home Office
One room is planned exclusively for work from home. It sits away from the children’s zone and main family floors, with its own defined entry. The brief treated a permanent, acoustically private workspace as a non-negotiable, not a flex room.
Night Presence
The house reads differently after dark. Recessed ceiling lights on each floor, cove lighting at the slab edges, and accent lighting at the gate and boundary wall give the facade a warm amber tone against the stone. The circular metal art piece picks up the lighting on the second floor. The overall composition at night is as considered as the daytime view.
Vastu
Room orientations, entry position, and the location of the central shaft are all Vastu-compliant. The layout and the compliance were resolved together at the planning stage.
Why Harikrushna Pattani & Associates
- Geometry-first planning: The cuboid form and the floor plan were resolved as one decision, not separately
- Natural light by design: Every room has a daylight source; interior rooms use the central glass shaft
- Material discipline: 2 primary materials on the facade, applied consistently across all 3 floors
- Vastu integration: Compliance built into the plan from the start
- Night design: Lighting placement treated as part of the architecture, not added at fit-out
