Malik Architecture completes J-House in Mumbai
As Mumbai The district of Khar continues to dwindle quickly, whereby the houses with a low risk for high-rise buildings, and the J-House tests by Malik Architecture try to bring life into harmony with the spatial and climatic adaptability of the colloquial language architecture. With the high towering Reside Structure, Indian practice tried to counter contemporary urban housing controls such as the loss of interaction and green on a human scale as well as a separation between developments and the street with indigenous spatial strategies.
In response, the structure is one that conveys size and soil, publicly and privately, characterized by a geometric facade that restores the porosity with the neighborhood and an indoor and outdoor connection for all individual units. Each house that reinterprets the traditional bungalow has an inner courtyard, veranda and perforated Jaali screens -all local strategies that promote the reaction ability of the climate and improve spatial connectivity -that stretch to the outside world to form a geometric, layered facade.

The residential tower keeps the porosity with the neighborhood
KHAR was once a once tipped quarter with low houses that were reset from the street and shaded behind the front gardens. In the middle of urbanization and increasing demands on the floor area, the neighborhood recorded the development of living towers that continue to remove a kind of dialogue with the street. As a result, there are also individual units of a separation with nature and only receive limited access to natural light and ventilation. In particular, podium parking spaces on the ground has replaced the nuanced spatial relationships of traditional houses and their urban context, to which J-house represents a counterpoint.
The concept of the Malik Architecture begins to avoid the typical high -rise buildings in order to restore a certain level of porosity on the street level and to create a more inviting urban facade. The Design team has replaced parking spaces on the street level with a scenic input sequence that is defined by water, trees and shaded setbacks that initiate an organization of an organization. Parking is now moved under the surface. During the rest of the design concept, the project continues to take information from three key elements of indigenous architecture: the farm, the veranda and the Jaali.

Folk strategies define the city high -rise building
The residential buildings are structured in the central courtyards in central north farms, in which interiors are flooded with natural ventilation, and enable a spatial organization that promotes openness without impairing privacy. If you tie the inner rooms together, the courtyards also work with programmatic shifts to create a network of deep cavities and skylights that move further into the residences. The western edge, which is opposite the Arab Sea, has a number of deep, shaded veranda with fixed and operational Jaali screens that offer a buffer against the hard sun and monsoon rain.
The composition of J-House also emphasizes the conventional stratification of high-rise buildings, in which the floors act as isolated layers. Instead, Malik Architecture introduces volumetric shifts that reinterpret the traditional bungalow within these vertical boundaries through layered veranda, staggered cavities and interwoven rooms. These elements are reminiscent of the spatial fluidity of the traditional joint family house across India.
