"Also, in our case, we’d asked to design such that we will never need an AC and that is indeed becoming true!" As we enter our 6th month in the new house designed and constructed by Wright Inspires, we rewind back to our 24 month journey ! Team Wright Inspiresengaged really well in advance and noted down the requirements before sending any template drawings/designs. I liked that approach, very few take the effort to understand the client requirements, site location, neighbourhood, position of the sun throughout the day etc into consideration. Loved that approach because, at the end of the day, those thought processes show their impact in the finished structure with amazing light patterns and ventilation during the day and night Moving a step ahead, after multiple sittings and finalization, a systematic approach to arrive at the ballpark estimate is prepared. Almost everything is included in the estimate and shared with the owner upfront, so as to get an understanding of the costs involved and where things can be added / removed – again, a very good practice, so that everyone knows the budget with which they are working with Post finalization, before actual work starts, lot of time and effort is put at the drawing with respect to the structure, i.e. the structural drawings from a certified agency. The focus and priority on safety and ensuring no corners are cut is commendable. Moreover, special effort is made to align the pillars so as to not obstruct/impede free movement inside the structure without compromising structural integrity Once the structural drawings are ready, regular visits at site and day long meetings to move to the next step/level are very useful. Many a time, a decision about certain elements is best left to them, since they have the expertise to envisage how the finished product looks like – believe me, at no stage till the finish, can one envisage how the house is turning out to be. A lot of focus and priority is given to the design of the house in terms of light and air, you can never get less of it. Also, in our case, we’d asked to design such that we will never need an AC and that is indeed becoming true! The essence of Wright Inspires is the creativity of spaces and elements in the house. Be it a seater, Fenestration wall, wood work, vault roof, Skylight, projections, bay window or stairwell – each one of these is given good thought on paper as complete s well as at – site. The impact of these elements is known only after the house i Another critical aspect that makes the entire exercise of building the house enjoyable is the concept of a team. Be it Prasad and team (Engineering the walls, floors and roofs), Partiban (Wood Magician) , Shivakumar and Ramesh (Steel Kings) , Giridhar (Source of Light) Attention to detail, Professionalism and aesthetic approach to everything makes every element of the house stand apart, even mundane elements like the stair rail OR bathroom door OR wardrobe shutters,they all get a new meaning To sum it, lot of time spent on design is worth it, being patient and understanding the point of view of the team in charge of building your house pays off well In terms of what could have been better, a few places , during heavy rain, there are water leaks at the junction of the wall and ledge, those should be avoided while executing, more attention is required during that phase.
