Duplex Residence in Cumilla


Architect: Farish Mahmud Ammar 
Poridhi Design & Build 
Project location: Rosulpur, Debiddar, Comilla 
Site area: 8300 sft 
Building area: 2400 sft (each floor) 
Year of completion: 2022


From The Architect:

The client of this village duplex project visits their homeland annually. Given the beauty of the natural surroundings, the client desired a home with exposure to natural light and a strong connection to the landscape. The design aim was to keep the ground coverage of the building as minimum as possible while giving an impressive look within a plane architecture. The client’s requirement brief is translated on-site through the careful placement of building’s massing where there is no negative space while keeping a large green lawn at the West side of the site. The ground floor houses the living, double height dining, two guest bedrooms and a kitchen connected to the backyard. In the first floor, four bedrooms connect to each other through a circulation space which is linked to a spacious roofless terrace. The overall architectural composition of the building is properly harmonized through the planes and creates a volumetric approach.

Nirjhor Cantonment Residential Area,Dhaka

Amazing Nirjhor Cantonment Residential Area... Nirjhor Residential Area at Dhaka Cantonment. This is quiet a charming area at Cantonment, Dhaka, if you havent been. A bridge illuminated with neon lights, nicely kept lake and a restaurant by the lake (Captains world). However, you may only chill there if you have defense reference. You will be asked about the referense once entering the Cantonment Area, and then again once you are entering Nirjhor Residential area. The guards can get specific such as what batch, or rank is the defense reference person you are referring to. They are quite strict. Say you are only here to get a bite in that Triveni restraurant and you entered Cantonment with a defense reference. Dont say you want to take pictures, not allowed.  *All Pics Are Collected From Internet...

This narrative inspires the architect to design the mosque as a spiritual-social space, enhancing mutual care and trust between the owner and the workers. The mosque incorporates elements that allow for filte...
