Stacked Dwelling is a weekend house in Igatpuri, standing on a compact 360 sq m linear plot. The narrative unfolds against the majestic backdrop of the Sahyadris. The name is derived from the organisational strategy which orchestrates the interior spaces as two small houses placed on a platform, albeit cohesive in design vocabulary.

Tilt and turn, that’s how we learn! Studies say that if the façade looks complex and interesting, it affects the visitors in a positive way. Also, monumental-scale buildings have always witnessed ‘wow’ at the very first glance. It not only represents the wealth and luxury of its occupants but also makes them feel inspired and valuable.

Adding a contemporary touch of architecture, the architect visualized the residence as a play of rectangular volumes by introducing various layers to the design as per the client’s needs and wants.
