The Gully Home in Chennai by ED+ Architecture

The Gully Home is an attempt at reimagining how modern-day family living can exist in a sustainable manner.

The sea facing home draws the name from its elevated, central triple height great room that resembles a traditional vibrant street (Gully) and is envisaged as the place where i most of the happy memories of the users are made and is the core of all activities of the house.

The staggered floor plates ensure every room within the house looks into the great room enhancing physical and visual connectivity within the home. The Gully Home is a one off project where the architecture completely defines its interiors - with no difference between the interior and exterior materials.

Furthermore, the house focusses on sustainable methodologies like double skinned walls, terracotta pot filler slabs and ventilation methodologies. It is a house that is contextually rooted and responds to all surrounding architectural and climatic requirements thus making it an embodiment of climatic responsive and functional design principles.
