The Complete Narrative of Burt Hall
Adaptive Affordable Housing
The project repurposes an old Colonial Hall by imagining an adaptive housing program in an intermittent lockdown. It develops around the idea of Home as an ever- evolving skin; always shedding yet rejuvenating.
Their House now begins to breathe all...
As they chatter and sip tea at the barber’s Sunday visit,
it leans by the pole, and hear the gossips go wild
As sun pierces atop saturated May skies,
they find relief amid moss-covered pools.

When monsoon becomes laden with dew & stardust,
they crawl atop towers to see mid-summer lights.
As clouds downpour along panels of rusted roofs,
children dance in watercolor puddles and sail paper-boats.

And when North wind blows loud in cold dark Decembers,
menfolk gather at the peanut seller, listening to crackles of wood and salt.
As spring glides in her all-bejewelled beauty,
jasmine reborns over the terraces, bowing heavy with piety

Their House now feels the same, that every bud can be revived...
