Residential Climate-Responsive Design Projects

Sanjay Puri Architects' Nine X Nine residence in Gandhinagar exemplifies thoughtful climate-responsive design that harmoniously integrates built spaces with existing natural elements. The project demonstrates meticulous site planning, with the T-shaped structure carefully positioned to preserve nine mature trees. Simultaneously, Sanjay Puri Architects ensures that passive cooling strategies are optimized to address Gujarat's extreme heat.

The climate-responsive design employs multiple sustainable features — sunken courtyards for subterranean light penetration, water elements for passive cooling, deep cantilevered decks for shade, and natural ventilation systems. Sanjay Puri Architects maintains that these thoughtful features collectively eliminate the need for air conditioning despite temperatures reaching 50°C.

The Nine X Nine residence's spatial organization creates distinct experiential zones across three levels — from social areas at ground level to private family quarters above and entertainment spaces below.
