Redefining Kutch

The house form is a combination of circular or semicircular in plan wherein the internal spaces are arranged around a central ventilation shaft and covered by a conical roof plastered with mud and cow dung afterward covered with thatch.  They are evolved through a climatic analysis of the circular houses (BHUNGAS) of Rabari community of Kutch. The principal spaces of a house are arranged in levels around the central ventilation shaft , which emerges out of the conical roof. Privacy of each space is maintained with the help of levels and also reduce the cost of door.
