Scooped out of a plot of farmland twenty minutes outside Ahmedabad city, this house has been built for an aquarium shop owner to function as a place to breed fish as well as to serve as a weekend retreat.
Its design is centered around four fish breeding tanks and an observation room which could double up as a living room. These tanks are enclosed by glass windows, which run the entire length of the living space, the added bonus being that the glass works out cheaper than a concrete wall.
Resting half-sunken under the ground level, negating the need for foundations, the house has several differing views of the water bodies, while the living space allows the inhabitant an uninterrupted view over the tanks when the windows are open, and view of the fish through below-the-sill glass window.
