Rock-Integrating Architectural Designs

Spasm Design's Home in India has a Meditative Quality

— April 10, 2018 — Art & Design
The luxurious architectural house design of a house in Maharashtra, India has a curious and thought-provoking element. In celebration of the mindful and breathtaking views of the geography, Spasm Design places a four-ton rock "that soars on the prong of a six-meter cantilever."

To observers that are not on-location, the odd choice of embellishment may be iquisitve in terms of design theory and architectural practices. It harbors the potent of spiking a debate on the topic of material versus form. However, to visitors and residents in Maharashtra, the architectural house design might be approached with more understanding.

Spasm Design created a neat on-site and overtly invasive correlation between man-made and natural environments. The practice hypothesizes if balance could be reached between landscape and design.
