The project is located in urban cultural of Bangalore, India. Designed for three generations living under one roof which is a common situation in this area, the House of Pavilions is an attempt at exploring emerging conditions. The house projected as an escape from the hostilities of the dense city while still being connected to it. It also desired to be a place for luxury lifestyles which demand a strong connection to the outdoors.

Due to the favorable climatic conditions, the idea of a shelter in Bangalore could be as minimal as an open pavilion with just a roof over it. There are few examples of these temporal structures used as markers, places of rest or as summer palaces in the past. Though the setting here in this case is not rustic isolation by the beach, a river front or in a forest clearing, it still offers the possibility of opening out to the landscape compared to the city house amidst dense and tighter conditions.

Open spaces in the context of traditional Indian houses have always played a crucial role usually seen as extensions of indoor spaces or as outdoor rooms which supported a wide variety of functions. An ideal example would be the courtyards which served as gathering spaces or sleeping areas during the summer, while at the same time helped in controlling light and temperatures keeping the houses cool in the hot summers.
