• Located ata corner plot in Bashundhara Residential Area, the “Kakoli Manor” was designed with the idea of implementing
contemporary building techniques & features. With roads on two sides, the site creates an interesting opportunity to flip a
typical suburban house condition. The consequences evolved an overall feeling of clarity and composure – a home that
enhances the life of the growing family who resides within its walls. The house came up with an introverted form with a
solid mass of concrete that stands still and bold from the outside. The vigorous play of light and volume is introduced only
when one enters and walks through different spaces inside.
5.
• On theground floor, there is parking for vehicles, a formal living area, dining, a pantry, and a patio area with a swimming pool.
The first floor includes a family dining and a coffee bar area, two separate kitchens, a TV room, and a sufficiently big walk-in
closet room essentially designed for the lady of the house this floor is where the residents spend most of their time. The
second floor is a private zone consisting of two bedrooms for the children and one bedroom for the parents, each opening to
a terrace. The third floor is dominated by open spaces; contains a gym, an indoor lounge, and elegantly furnished outdoor
seating areas. The landscaping in the terraces and external areas is of predominantly tropical, low-maintenance species,
creating a lush tropical feel inside the spaces.

As mentioned earlier,the three-storied residential building is entirely built with fair-face concrete and used in its natural state
giving a timeless impact. Interestingly, stretching one part of the interior wall is engraved in a graphical motif that brings out
the details and beauty of the concrete. Having a series of connected intimate spaces, continuous visual links through double-
height spaces, passages, and multiple terraces, the outcome is an all-season escape space in the city with its qualified, airy,
bright ambiance.
The project briefemphasized mental and physical well-being rather than spatial requirements. The client invested his resources
in his and his family’s future when the surrounding would inevitably fill up mercilessly with brutal concrete structures. The design
focused on providing breathing space within the compound in contrast to the existing trend and surrounding environment, not
only for the owners but for the neighbors who are forced to be packed in matchbox houses due to the ever-increasing demands
of urban living.
19.
Creating an exampleof an IDEAL HOME in the present rapidly growing
URBAN CONTEXT OF DHAKA CITY which incorporates a simple shift in
the typical thought process:
COST REDUCTION can be equivalent to INCOME GENERATION
The value of PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WELL-BEING is much greater than
Economic prosperity in the long run.
The design is minimal and simple, fully intending to preserve the
original natural state as much as possible. The structure is a mere
backdrop of busy homesteading, healthy living, and memory crafting.
20.
• The balanceis achieved through the crafted relationship between
• Open space: This project adds to the urban landscape by providing substantial open space. The client wanted a home for his
family thus the footprint was deliberately kept tight to encourage a sense of togetherness while the tropical breeze soaks up
the stress.
• Pavilion: A pavilion kind of space flows always maintains the airflow of the house and brings the overall temperature of the
entire space down; it also works as a multipurpose space for family interaction.
• Courtyard: Courtyards can play an important role in regulating the microclimate of the tropics. It works a transition between
the large open space and the house.
22.
When it comesto Dhaka, the best architecture is the one that is not built at all as the open green spaces are rapidly
disappearing causing serious degradation of the living environment. Moreover, the challenge of balancing aspiration and
affordability poses to be even greater when it merges with the future concerns of a family. The design tried to find a balance
between these complexities and make a statement against the trend.

• In aserene environment, situated just on the outskirts of Dhaka city with proximity to the river Shitalakha,
the design was intended for the residence of a family. With its transitional layers of indoor-outdoor spaces,
the residence offers generous spreads of filtered daylight glazing through the interiors. It intended for
people to look for the unknown and ask from the unknown. Hence, the residence was named CHAABI,
meaning wanting something in Bengali.
28.
• The flowof the house's function expresses openness and nature. While the main entrance acts towards
welcoming guests, other entrances are crafting the openness and blending with the surrounding nature. On
the ground floor are bedrooms, a home theatre, a dining room, a swimming pool, a gym, a guest room, a
kitchen and a staff room. The water body beside the living room is open to the sky, and the south opening
gives the view of nature with the calmness of the south wind. The water body beside the house has a straight
connection to the house. The narrow walkway on the edge of the water body takes to a large open space,
giving the feeling of going from a small space to a large space.
29.
• A seriesof light-filled stairways provide a visual connection with the landscape and emulate walking
through the green grass as one passes between spaces.
• On the first floor, there's an intimate family area where rain can be relished and a door that opens to the
outdoor area where one can sit and cherish the rain. Besides that, a guest room, kitchenette, and a long
corridor lead to various spaces, such as the family living room, where there is a space called address-
desk. It's an elevated wooden stage with three microphones to give speech. Then there are a few
bedrooms and a study room. The master bedroom is especially celebrated with a stair connecting it to
the open field.
32.
The design intendedfor people to look for peace and calmness and be in sync with the surroundings. This
subtle incorporation provides the users with physical and psychological connections with nature. The
discussion of the project came to a point where the whole thing seemed like a poem. That assured the client
enough to say, "You write, and I will interpret it in my way."

• The entryhas an initial plinth (dawa) area inspired from the traditional village houses of Bangladesh.
There is an open tunnel walkway watching over a water body and framing the green expanse
merging with the house lawn. The horizon can be seen on the west from this reception area. The
ground floor has the formal living and dining. South westerly wind flows into the cross ventilated
dining space where the South eastern wind also flows in from the court with a staircase with glass

• On thefirst floor there are bedrooms and the family living. The master bedroom opens outward to a
green courtyard which is also accessible form the library. The guest room is situated on the second
floor along with a Music hall. There is a water body which leads to the guest room. The music room/
family lounge opens Omni-directions and celebrates the water body on the south, sunsets on the
west and the lawn on the north. The residence is built in a combination of exposed concrete. Thus, a
soothing effect is evolved to match with regional climate and resistance against earthquake.
45.
• The metalnet boundary wall with porosity on the west flank visually connects the residence area with the
farmland. The bulk of branching trees including the Indian Almond and Albizia Saman provide a canopy of
shade and screening. The landscape seems to be alive with colors with its dramatic ever-changing hues
and fragrance. It indeed is a luxury to indulge in the setup of nature from the picturesque frames of the
residence.

The natural configurationof adjacent
Hills and a merely further vivid Sea, with
their opulent strength and beauty was
sole inspiration to conceptualize the
project. In attaining an infinite view from
hill to sea, the villa is portrayed more as
a frame to capture the view rather to be
an obstruction. Desired spaces and their
formal expression are flourished in
accordance to celebrate the harmonious
horizontality and elegant verticality of
two environmental stimuli. While doing
so, a dominant issue was to lessen site
damages as well as maximize the
retention of existing natural ecosystem
of the environment. The residence is
sited overlooking the sea with a perfect
back drop of magnanimous green hills.
The off centric entrance to the residence
led the viewer to glance at the project
with an inviting portico floating atop of a
shallow water body. The inner awe of

• While enteringthe residence, views are instantly swiped to the luminous greenery and hill of the back
yards. The living area is a double height space that enhances the feeling of openness which contributes to
the indoor – outdoor relation. The airy staircase acts as the central spine of this residence that tie-up
multiple levels and taking the stairways from entry level to the roof top is a ride of exploring the enigma of
spaces. Composite structure was adopted to transform the concept at its best formal expression. The
central part is of steel structure amidst the RCC construction. Concrete floors of this residence are of flat-
plate structure where floor finishes has a variation of marble, wood and tile. Black polished marble is used
inside the ground floor to create the reflection of surrounding trees while antique-polished marbles are
placed outside to make the floor non-slippery. Central deck floor is of wood and steel whereas all bed

• The privatezone of bed rooms are hived within the RCC structure in both ends having two of them located in
split level and two of them on standard floor level. But each of four bed room, unlike other space of the house
is a delightful setup to have the explicit views of the nature. While the sunken gourmet kitchen and its
adjacent dining is a hub for cozy food-fun festivity, the roof level bar room with stretched terrace is perfect for
soiree. Muted embellishment of fair-face concrete adorned exterior has enabled the single glazing surfaces
amplify the vivid display of adjacent trees, changing images of sky and sea with their color, light and shadow,
even some times mirror the further sea as a translucent imagery overlay of these mighty forces. The front of
the villa has a minutely assembled landscape of a lawn. Age old recycled ship planks and concrete slabs; laid
and soaked up with grass and earth has formed a subtle entrance path to the house. The natural spirit
transmitted into the house creates a sense of constant connectedness with the user. This harmonized relation

• A HarmoniousBlend of Tradition and Nature - Situated In the Bhaluka district of Mymensingh, in Kachina village, Fakir Bari
honors family heritage, culture, and dynasty. The name reflects deep respect for these values. From the design's inception,
the client's desire for simplicity, minimal greenery, and a pleasant living environment guided every decision. In keeping with
this vision, no trees were cut to accommodate the building; additional trees were planted, enhancing the landscape's
beauty and integrating the structure seamlessly with its surroundings.
65.
• The areaboasts a diverse range of trees, including ata, Lychee, Guava, golden apple, Mango, and Wood Nuts. These fruit-
bearing trees add aesthetic value and provide fresh fruits and oxygen, enriching the tenants' experience. The building features
a metal roof, which allows residents to enjoy the soothing sound of raindrops and provides shade throughout the structure.
This design creates an inviting recreational space on the roof, adding to the building's appeal.
66.
• This thoughtfuldesign results in a home that is functional, sustainable, and
deeply connected to its natural and cultural context. Fakir Bari is a
testament to the harmony between tradition and modern living, offering a
serene and sustainable environment that feels like a natural extension of
its lush surroundings.

This project startswith nostalgia. There was grief, dreams, and hope in our client's voice when we heard the
story. We tried to translate his emotions through spaces. We got inspiration from the poem by Emily Dickinson –
74.
At the site,an emotional preponderance of spirit held the ‘solitude of space,’ offering moments of introspection. The solitude of
space represents the opportunity to find a moment of loneliness to reflect on something in different places worldwide. The
poem’s focus on the soul relates to the idea of a unifying component. Thoughtfully designed spaces can create soulful
connections from the past for the family over generations, which allow people to engage with their souls, culture, and tradition.

• The rectangularform creates two courtyards, maximizing prevailing winds and minimizing sun exposure. These courtyards
also create meaningful community spaces for the family and neighborhood. The front yard serves as the main entry, with a
kachari ghar (guest house) for Ibrahim Chowdhury and a private yard for gatherings. A stair leads to the upper floor, with an
open kitchen and a bridge connecting the family living and dining areas. Apertures on the roof define this circulation spine to
get sunlight and natural ventilation. The terrace connects the family living activities indoors and outdoors, enhancing the
connection between the neighborhood and its surroundings.
76.
In the south,the green compound, contemplated as a 'solitude of space,' creates an eternal tie between the husband and
wife, the children and their mother, or future generations to the ancestors. The prayer space is reached from the family living
to a solid concrete form facing the private yard, where the mother's grave is visually connected. It allows family members to
see the mother's grave after turning their heads to the left, offering a Taslim [a concluding portion of the salah, where one
recites As-salāmu ʿalaikum wa-raḥmatu-Allah ("Peace and blessings of God be unto you") once while facing the right, and once
while facing the left].
