Architect?s family home and studio is situated in a high-density urban area of Dhaka. The architectural programme was to create a home and a studio on a piece of land measuring 670 square meters. The home was planned within a square 10.2m X 10.2m with two floors and the footprint of the studio measure is 6m X 13.7m, with a mezzanine floor which is above the garage. The design of the building was perceived as L-shaped in order to channel south-east prevailing wind into the building and to create a sense of privacy between home and office. The visual separation between them was created by a vault opening providing access to office underneath the vault.
