One of the two residences that Le Corbusier designed and built in Ahmedabad during the early 50s. Originally designed for a millowner client, the plan was sold to another millowner and was built without changes on another site.The house is a porous 5-level cube with a main roof hovering above in a shape that follows the entire 14m x 15m footprint. The use of brise-soleil and a floating canopy roof are just some of the devices that the architect employed as a response to the harsh and natural beauty of the Indian subcontinent. #architecture #India #Le_Corbusier #modern_house #Residential_Masterpiece #Shodhan_House #Tropical #Villa_Shodhan
