Skewed House
Skewed is a standalone villa located in Surat, India. The house covers 11,000 square feet and is planned as a series of interconnected vistas. Elements are shifted slightly off the straight line, which creates varied perspectives within the three-dimensional form. Simple aesthetics, a minimal material palette and close connections to nature guide the design. Black granite flooring, concrete and plaster walls, and teak windows and interior woodwork are used throughout. A garden on the first floor is carried by a post tensioned slab and connects with the whole house.
Skewed House Residence by Hardik Shah has been identified as an outstanding example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Skewed House Residence was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2019. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design accolade that rewards excellent design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
