Scooped out of a plot of farmland twenty minutes outside Ahmedabad city, this house called ‘The House with Balls’ has been built for an aquarium shop owner to function as a place to breed fish as well as to serve as a weekend retreat.

The long narrow main room is lined on both sides by shutters, opening on one side to the garden and over the tanks on the other.

The concrete balls dip into the water on the tank side when the shutters are opened.

This project has been awarded the AR House 2010 award.
