Valaya takes its name from the Sanskrit word meaning a protective circle. In a time when houses are often driven by image & visual statements, Valaya begins with a more fundamental question: How can a home in today’s climate remain open without becoming vulnerable? Valaya responds to Ahmedabad’s realities, intense heat Design Firm: tHE gRID Architects [ @thegrid_architects ] Principal Architects: Bhadri Suthar [ @bhadrisuthar ], Snehal Suthar [ @snehal_thegridarchitects ] and Manasvini Suthar [ @_manasvini__95 ] Location: Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India 🇮🇳 Project Typology: Residential 🗂️ Featured In: Elle Decor India @elledecorindia | Digital Story: May 2026 From afar, a monolith looms into view. The terracotta-hued bricks assume a sinuous form, merging into lofty concrete volumes, slatted Brise-soleil and a veil of vines draped atop the structure. Set across 8,700 sq ft, this five-bedroom residence in Ahmedabad understands homecoming as a kind of return to self. Unlike most urban dwellings that seal themselves from the local climate, the home devised by Bhadri and Snehal Suthar of tHE gRID Architects, remains in honest conversation with it. Amid harsh summers and lashing rains, the home dubbed Valaya visualises them as design-moulding forces. “The clients were clear that the house should feel open and connected but never exposed. The site’s south-west orientation was integral. It’s where the climatic pressures are most strongly felt. The curved brick wall stands as an enduring buffer and not a mere facade,” Bhadri notes. Over nearly 24 years since their studio’s inception, Bhadri and Snehal Suthar can attest that design has emerged as a spiritual journey — nurtured less by technical prescriptions and more by instinct and belonging. Joined by Manasvini Suthar, this home coexists within the same syntax. 📷: Vinay Panjwani [ @panjwani.vinay ] #home #residence #interiordesign #architecture #ahmedabad architecture, architects, interior design, design, interior designers, interior inspiration, traditional, vernacular, writing, journalism, featured, design writing, explore, fyp, photography, brick, ecofriendly, explore page, homes, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
