The Lantern House: Evoking Emotions Through Architecture

Architecture is intended to elicit emotions in the spaces. Setting the correct atmosphere allows us to evoke various emotions and recollections. We all have distinct memories associated with a specific structure or area. The Lantern House is our ongoing project, which is 90% complete.

Our Approach

Before beginning the project, we spoke with the clients about their lifestyles and families. This helped us understand what they required, and then we asked what they desired. To create this project, we considered both wishes and needs.

Challenge and Opportunity

The major purpose of this project is to construct a two-story structure with two BHK flats on the ground and first floors. Our first problem is to minimize the number of entrances for security purposes. The customer is a single parent living alone with her son. Assume that the front and back roadways offer pleasant views and are used for ventilation. However, the client prefers to avoid balconies and large openings. We both agreed on using lanterns to create safe and stunning night-time effects with laser cuts.
