We started making concept plan as/bye laws and client’s requirement. The process was whole functions follow form. Started with the functions fulfilling the client’s requirement end up with form, although the form is very basic rectangular in shape just like the plot.

To give it a feel we started with a exposed brick work elevational fabric and end up with exposed brick, wooden door and boxed projected window. We did two different kind of brick work patterns to give it some noise. Made one 3d physical model to understand the design more precisely.
