Fabrice House, Auroville

Fabrice House is designed around the idea of spatial transition—balancing fluidity with the need for clear separation between living and healing spaces. As a chiropractic practitioner, Fabrice required a distinct boundary between his treatment room and private residence without creating a rigid or abrupt divide.

This is achieved through a transitional water court, where a fish pond acts as a spatial buffer between the two zones. Rather than a wall, this layered threshold creates both physical separation and a shift in atmosphere. A circular entrance opening further reinforces this idea, providing access while softening the transition between functions.The architecture remains minimal and performance-driven, allowing spatial experience and movement to define the character of the house.Techniques:Composite structural system with Aerocon block walls, Reinforced Brick Concrete (RBC) slabs, and a ferrocement shell roof.
