78B was a Contemporary house designed by Ar. Tahir Raza (myself). The house features two independent living units; one on the ground floor and the other on the first floor. Stair Tower was kept deliberately at the front so that the upper floor can be rented out.
Ground Floor has 3 Bedrooms, 1 Drawing Room, a Living area (double-height having a loft area for study/play), and a small courtyard facilitating wind flow and natural light flooding into the space. This house explores a model where the ground floor is occupied by the client and the upper floor is rented. Privacy was ensured for the ground floor, enabling access to the courtyard. Courtyard has been an element which ventilates both ground floor and first floor.
