Bains House

This project replaces a tired 1990’s house with a sustainable, modern family home. With two distinct wings—one for living spaces and one for sleeping quarters—the design maximizes openness while incorporating energy-efficient features for near net-zero status.
Highlights
  • Curved glazed frontage visible from the flyover and roundabout.
  • Showroom, workshop, spare parts department, and valet facilities.
  • Durable and low-maintenance finishes with modern aesthetics.
  • Goals
    • Achieve sustainability with a focus on energy efficiency.
    • Create functional and visually stunning living spaces.
    • Maximize the use of renewable energy sources and natural materials.
  • Challenges
    • Designing for intense western sun exposure without overheating interiors.
    • Achieving high energy efficiency while maintaining architectural appeal.
  • Solutions
    • Designed deep roof overhangs to protect from midday sun.
    • Implemented geothermal heating and cooling, hybrid insulation, and photovoltaic panels.
    • Used locally sourced materials to reduce environmental impact.
  • Unique Features
