House for Mr. Sanjay Jairam

We recently completed a small housing unit for Mr. Sanjay Jairam on his farm on Magadi road. The farm is about 35 kms from Bangalore on Bangalore - Magadi Road.

We built 2 structures, one is 15' X 20', which is used primarily for living quarter and a smaller structure 14' X 9', to be used as sit-out and open kitchen.

Here we have experimented with our Prefab building system for Standard Dwelling unit for Rural applications, 12' X 27'. The structure uses a standard conventional Plinth (using Stone and Mortar), Bamboo structure, Modular bamboo panels, and Bamboo Mat corrugated sheets as roof.

The bamboo wall panels are plastered with Mud and Cement.
The structure has come out to our satisfaction, it looks very interesting, well proportioned and has a pleasing aesthetics.

There are few details that needs our immediate attention and concern. There are some corner junctions, the junction between roof and wall, the gable-end opening needs to be designed better.

Our client, Mr. Sanjay and Aparna were very cooperative, they have been helpful and helping us in logistics, support on-site etc. The site or location of the project is breathtaking. we had amazing experience of staying and working there.
