A white frame, a dark volume and a timber pergola on the roof.
An apartment building for Mukundapur, in South-East Kolkata, composed of two parts: a white frame that holds the balconies, and a dark volume set inside it.
The balconies are planted, so the front carries green up every floor, and a timber pergola shades the roof terrace.
The building is shown here as visualised. It is listed on Houzz as Uttalika Condoville.
