    The Collage House project in Mumbai applies lessons from informal settlements in resourcefulness and reuse without romanticizing them. The facade recycles windows and doors from demolished houses. Interior materials also reuse scraps like metal plates, stone slivers, and old wood. This juxtaposition of old and new, traditional and contemporary elements creates a collage-like effect that reinforces the project's themes of recycling and reusing materials to develop a sustainable design.

    COLLAGE HOUSE / S+PS ARCHITECTS

    By: Chanchal Soni (00106142019)


    B. Arch, 5th Semester
    Subject: BAP 315 Sustainable Development
      Living in Mumbai, India it is impossible to ignore the
    Introduction informal settlements in the city, and if looked at
    closely there are many lessons to be learnt in frugality,
    adaptability, multi-tasking, resourcefulness and
    ingenuity.
     A visual language emerges that is of the found object,
    ad-hoc, eclectic, patched and collaged.
     An attempt has been made here to apply some of these
    lessons without romanticizing or fetishizing them. The
    project looks at the idea of recycling and collage in
    several ways, from the very physical - like materials,
    energy, etc. to the intangible - like history, space and
    memories.
     The front façade sets the tone for what lies within, with
    a “corner of windows” that recycles old windows and
    doors of demolished houses in the city. This becomes a
    major backdrop for the living room with a exposed
    concrete faceted ceiling above countered by the
    polished white marble with intricate brass inlay on the
    floor.
     Metal pipe leftovers pieced together like bamboo form
    a “pipe wall” integrating structural columns, rainwater
    down take pipes and a sculpture of spouts that in the
    monsoon are a delight for all the senses.

    In the central courtyard on one side scrap rusted metal plates are riveted
    together, Kitsch colored tile samples retain a planter in the middle and on
    the third side is a wall clad in cut-waste stone slivers lifted off the back of
    stone cutting yards and waste generated on site. Hundred-year-old columns
    from a dismantled house bring back memories, and nostalgia is nourished
    with a lightweight, steel and glass pavilion (with solar panels above) on the
    terrace level overlooking fabulous views down the hillside. This approach is
    reinforced again in the interior materials and elements. It plays up this
    contrast between the old and the new, the traditional and the contemporary,
    the rough and the finished. One finds use of recycled materials like old
    textile blocks, Flooring out of old Burma teak rafters and purlins, colonial
    furniture, fabric waste (chindi) along with new ways of using traditional
    elements and materials like carved wooden moldings, beveled mirrors,
    heritage cement tiles, etc.

    A language emerges that is both new but strangely familiar at the same time and
    that makes us rethink notions of beauty that we take for granted around us. To
    make this mélange more “acceptable”, it is encased in a “garb of modernity”
    (Nehru). This concrete frame - in a rough aggregate finish outside and in a smooth
    form finish inside - wraps and connects all the spaces from back to front and across
    all three levels.
    To build on top of a hill is always exciting, until the architects discovered here that
    they were surrounded by neighbors on all sides. This led early on in the design
    process to look inwards and build around the quintessential Indian courtyard, albeit
    slightly modified. The court is actually raised a floor above the ground level and
    hidden below is a large rainwater harvesting tank wrapped with rock that was
    removed from the hillside during excavation. It is the core around which this large
    four-generation family is organized and comes together.
