The House of Courtyards

The House of Courtyards is a unique project in Dubai by Studio VDGA. I tried to photograph it following the design philosophy of the architect. The design was a combination of the principles of Vastu (Indian architectural guidelines) and the contextual relevance of the project. The house plan is dotted with a series of courtyards which breathe in life to the spaces, high turrets are introduced intermittently in the design allowing natural light into the interior spaces while cutting off the glare and harshness of the sun.
