About the
Architect
Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, known as

called modern architecture
Le Corbusier did not have formal
academic training as an architect.
Le Corbusier began teaching himself
by going to the library to read about
architecture and philosophy, by visiting
museums, by sketching buildings, and
by constructing them LE CORBUSIER

5 points of modern architecture
He made a principle of 5 points of the modern architecture.They are-
 the PilotisThe building is raised up on reinforced concrete pylons, which allows for
free circulation on the ground level, and eliminates dark and damp parts of the
house.
 The RoofTerraceThe sloping roof is replaced by a flat roof; the roof can be used as a
garden, for promenades. sports or a swimming pool.
 The FreePlan Load-bearing walls are replaced by a steel or reinforced concrete
columns, so the interior can be freely designed, and interior walls can put
anywhere, or left out entirely. . The structure of the building is not visible from the
outside.
 The RibbonWindowSince the walls do not support the house, the windows can run the
entire length of the house, so all rooms can get equal light.
 The FreeFaçadeSince the building is supported by columns in the interior, the façade
can be much lighter and more open, or made entirely of glass. There is no need for
lintels or other structure around the windows.

Background story
 In the 1950s, when Le Corbusier came to India at
Jawaharlal Nehru’s insistence, he met Surottam
Hutheesing, a leader of mill owners of Ahmedabad. In
1952, when he visited the city, leading industrialist and
former mayor Chinubhai Chimanbhai commissioned him
to design the Mill Owners’ Building and work on four
other commissions in consultation with Hutheesing and
Kasturbhai Lalbhai, the other textile barons who were
important decision-makers of the city back then, Just
when the construction plans were completed Mr.
Hutheesing there upon sold them to Mr. Shodhan, who
owned another plot and desired to start construction
immediately. As luck would have it, Le Corbusier's Indian
projects are always dictated a priori by the Indians. The
transfer of this house to a new plot was therefore a
 Site had curved
mounds,
irregular terrain.
 Site faced
south-east
direction
 There were no
water bodies
near the site
though a pool
was dug later
Site context
N
N
•According to placing of
house,
house faces north east
•There is a pool in east
direction
•House placed diagonally,
making 3 quarters of it
visible at once
•The house is surrounded
by gardens.
Thus suncutters also acts
as wind catchers in
southwest direction
Cold northern winds are
blocked by smaller
windows.
SW winds all
year round
Site Considerations
Indian
Culture
Client’s
way of
life
Climate
The house had to respond
to varying Indian climate.
The client was very rich
and wanted a house
reflecting his flamboyant
lifestyle
India was in post
colonisation phase, thus
innovation was
important.
 Has three main seasons: summer, monsoon and
winter
 Aside from the monsoon season it’s very dry.
 The weather is characterized by extreme hot and
almost no rain from March to June.
 Monsoons sweep into Ahmedabad in mid July.
During this time weather and climate is very humid.

view
concept
 Le Corbusier referred to the house as Shodhan
update the Villa Savoye. This metamorphosis
involves the emergence of a brise soleil and a
parasol-like armor béton brut superimposed on the
city of Ahmedabad, a lattice wall to the bread of
watercress and a roof garden on toit.
 On a magic trick that, by juxtaposition of two new
elements, a refined house gives the appearance of a
warrior of concrete, however, suggests the presence
of the former.
Entry
 The house is entered through north-west with entry marked by a cut-out in a
blank wall and pronounced by a cantilevered porch. This leads to an arrival
space defined by the walls and a freestanding ramp. Transversely placed
ramp forms a barrier arresting the views into more intimate living spaces of
the house. The bottleneck created at the confluence of horizontal and vertical
circulation, at the commencement of ramp, further marks the threshold to
family and dining areas, which extend naturally into gardens. Once the
threshold is crossed, the volume transforms vertically with floor cut-outs
linking two floors, spatially as well as visually.

Ground floor design
 On the ground floor was
located the spacious entrance
hall that shares space with a
wardrobe
 Entering the house we find on
the left the beginning of the
ramp leading to the upper
levels and to the right a room
service and a toilet, to the front
the space opens to a living
room and a living room, both
open to a Gallery that frames
this body of the ground floor
and that leads following its
architectural route to a second
body where the kitchen is
located, the bedrooms for the
service staff, a bathroom and a
garage.
 Despite being mainly right
angled, sanitary areas have
curved walls to break
monotony and deflect
movement.

• The ramp leads to the first level
above where in front of this is a
curious guest room with private
bathroom and dressing room.
• At the side of the ramp and like
lung of light and breeze of the
plant we have the great hollow on
which balconea great part of the
house.
• Another smaller gap faces the
first separated by a study-room.
• The façade openings continue on
this level as do the numerous
porches and open spaces.

• In it was arranged the large
private room, consisting of
a large bedroom, a smaller
one, a bathroom,
numerous galleries with
plants, open spaces,
verandas and the ramp
that follows its route
started on the ground
floor.
• The gallery can be
accessable only by 1st floor
with a stair.
• The bedrooms have also
stairs to go up.

4th Floor Plan
Third and fourth floors
• The ramp continues to a third and fourth level, where open
spaces continue to allow light and air to enter the building
and offer wide covered terraces with numerous openings
to the façade where you can see the pilotis structure. In
the fourth level a water tank has been placed.
Roof form
 Oval apertures are cut in the
roof.
 When viewed from below,
they mislead about cubical
form of house, and act as
lens to sky
 Roof supported on recessed
columns and thus appears floating.
 A terrace garden at top to provide
insulation.
 Roof is a parasol( inspired from de
stilj movement)
The rooms are arranged on several levels,
which make up the three floors,
separated and at the same time in contact
with each other. At ground level, Le
Corbusier applied the "optimum
pavement" Modulor
The garden terrace, with its triple
height, a scalar mechanism that
magnifies the house, giving it almost
monumental proportions ...
Apart from the private spaces such as
bedrooms, whole place acts as
transition area, because client wanted a
place where he could entertain guests.
Ramps and staircase are designed in
such a way so that they culminate
towards certain viewpoints.
rampsInterlinking of
levels
Double heighted
rooms
Inference: The levels are layered spatially and horizontally, with
help of terraces, double heights, etc to create interesting spaces
and connect to nature, while maintaing privacy.

light
• Choreographed
movement through
light, from the cave-like
entrance horizontally
through the double
height, multicoloured
kaleidoscopic living
room, out onto the
oblong pool and the
undulating lawns ; or
vertically through a
dark criss-crossing ramp
that opens into a series
of cascading terraces
underneath a pierced
parasol through which
you can see the sky.
light
• Due to the absence of
interior partitions, Le
Corbusier was able to bring
natural light to certain
spaces as an architectural
element that together with
the warm breeze of India
created a tactile and
changing environment that
maintains a strong
connection with nature
Shade and Shading devices
• Living quarters of the house are sheltered under an
umbrella-like free standing roof parasol. A fitting device
for the hot-dry climate where shade is essential during
daytime and the outdoor is pleasant in the evening
• The suncutters or brise soleil also works as shading
device.

Structure
 Independent structure of
concrete, foundations pilotis
 Cut off roofs with visible pillers
 Structurally simplistic
 Ramps to upper floor
 Overall frame of the building
is in raw concrete, with clear
markings of the wooden
formwork.
 Standard sheet metal is
added to the underside of the
interior ceilings and a
protective parasol is used as
the roof
 Recessed columns to hold roof
Material
 On site cast concrete
 Wooden formwork
 Stone flooring
 Raw Concrete as frame
Building
Geometry
• Substractive
form
• Cubical form
• Solid & Void
Exterior form
• The house is derived from basic cube.
• Volumes are sculpted out of it on
basis of modular scale
• Due to dimensions of brises soleil,
house almost attains monumental
scale
Design Influences
 The house comprised of several of the themes of Le
Corbusier’s previous works and is a synthesis of
previous ideas played at a higher pitch.
Villa Baizeau(cut off roof,visible pillars)
design influences of villa shodhan
Villa Savoye,(Ramps to upper floor)
Design influences
• There are also influences from he DE STIJL
movement and Rietveld Schroder House
• There are windows inspired by mondrain
squares
DESIGN PRINCIPLES OF SHODHAN HOUSE
• Dom-Ino skeleton design
• Interlocking cascades
Critical Analysis
• There is an interesting play of
light and shadows
• Interior façade is revealed but not
overlapping of spaces
• All independent elements act in
harmony to create overall view
• House was called refined version
of villa savoye as it accepted
nature beautifully
• The house gives a sculptural
feeling.

  • 5. 5 points of modern architecture He made a principle of 5 points of the modern architecture.They are-  the PilotisThe building is raised up on reinforced concrete pylons, which allows for free circulation on the ground level, and eliminates dark and damp parts of the house.  The RoofTerraceThe sloping roof is replaced by a flat roof; the roof can be used as a garden, for promenades. sports or a swimming pool.  The FreePlan Load-bearing walls are replaced by a steel or reinforced concrete columns, so the interior can be freely designed, and interior walls can put anywhere, or left out entirely. . The structure of the building is not visible from the outside.  The RibbonWindowSince the walls do not support the house, the windows can run the entire length of the house, so all rooms can get equal light.  The FreeFaçadeSince the building is supported by columns in the interior, the façade can be much lighter and more open, or made entirely of glass. There is no need for lintels or other structure around the windows.

  • 15. Background story  In the 1950s, when Le Corbusier came to India at Jawaharlal Nehru’s insistence, he met Surottam Hutheesing, a leader of mill owners of Ahmedabad. In 1952, when he visited the city, leading industrialist and former mayor Chinubhai Chimanbhai commissioned him to design the Mill Owners’ Building and work on four other commissions in consultation with Hutheesing and Kasturbhai Lalbhai, the other textile barons who were important decision-makers of the city back then, Just when the construction plans were completed Mr. Hutheesing there upon sold them to Mr. Shodhan, who owned another plot and desired to start construction immediately. As luck would have it, Le Corbusier's Indian projects are always dictated a priori by the Indians. The transfer of this house to a new plot was therefore a

  • 19. Site Considerations Indian Culture Client’s way of life Climate The house had to respond to varying Indian climate. The client was very rich and wanted a house reflecting his flamboyant lifestyle India was in post colonisation phase, thus innovation was important.
  • 20.  Has three main seasons: summer, monsoon and winter  Aside from the monsoon season it’s very dry.  The weather is characterized by extreme hot and almost no rain from March to June.  Monsoons sweep into Ahmedabad in mid July. During this time weather and climate is very humid.
  • 22. concept  Le Corbusier referred to the house as Shodhan update the Villa Savoye. This metamorphosis involves the emergence of a brise soleil and a parasol-like armor béton brut superimposed on the city of Ahmedabad, a lattice wall to the bread of watercress and a roof garden on toit.  On a magic trick that, by juxtaposition of two new elements, a refined house gives the appearance of a warrior of concrete, however, suggests the presence of the former.
  • 23. Entry  The house is entered through north-west with entry marked by a cut-out in a blank wall and pronounced by a cantilevered porch. This leads to an arrival space defined by the walls and a freestanding ramp. Transversely placed ramp forms a barrier arresting the views into more intimate living spaces of the house. The bottleneck created at the confluence of horizontal and vertical circulation, at the commencement of ramp, further marks the threshold to family and dining areas, which extend naturally into gardens. Once the threshold is crossed, the volume transforms vertically with floor cut-outs linking two floors, spatially as well as visually.

  • 33. 2nd Floor plan • In it was arranged the large private room, consisting of a large bedroom, a smaller one, a bathroom, numerous galleries with plants, open spaces, verandas and the ramp that follows its route started on the ground floor. • The gallery can be accessable only by 1st floor with a stair. • The bedrooms have also stairs to go up.
  • 36. Third and fourth floors • The ramp continues to a third and fourth level, where open spaces continue to allow light and air to enter the building and offer wide covered terraces with numerous openings to the façade where you can see the pilotis structure. In the fourth level a water tank has been placed.
  • 37. Roof form  Oval apertures are cut in the roof.  When viewed from below, they mislead about cubical form of house, and act as lens to sky  Roof supported on recessed columns and thus appears floating.  A terrace garden at top to provide insulation.  Roof is a parasol( inspired from de stilj movement)
  • 38. The rooms are arranged on several levels, which make up the three floors, separated and at the same time in contact with each other. At ground level, Le Corbusier applied the "optimum pavement" Modulor The garden terrace, with its triple height, a scalar mechanism that magnifies the house, giving it almost monumental proportions ... Apart from the private spaces such as bedrooms, whole place acts as transition area, because client wanted a place where he could entertain guests. Ramps and staircase are designed in such a way so that they culminate towards certain viewpoints.

  • 47. light • Due to the absence of interior partitions, Le Corbusier was able to bring natural light to certain spaces as an architectural element that together with the warm breeze of India created a tactile and changing environment that maintains a strong connection with nature
  • 48. Shade and Shading devices • Living quarters of the house are sheltered under an umbrella-like free standing roof parasol. A fitting device for the hot-dry climate where shade is essential during daytime and the outdoor is pleasant in the evening • The suncutters or brise soleil also works as shading device.

  • 53. Structure  Independent structure of concrete, foundations pilotis  Cut off roofs with visible pillers  Structurally simplistic  Ramps to upper floor  Overall frame of the building is in raw concrete, with clear markings of the wooden formwork.  Standard sheet metal is added to the underside of the interior ceilings and a protective parasol is used as the roof  Recessed columns to hold roof
  • 54. Material  On site cast concrete  Wooden formwork  Stone flooring  Raw Concrete as frame
  • 56. Exterior form • The house is derived from basic cube. • Volumes are sculpted out of it on basis of modular scale • Due to dimensions of brises soleil, house almost attains monumental scale
  • 57. Design Influences  The house comprised of several of the themes of Le Corbusier’s previous works and is a synthesis of previous ideas played at a higher pitch. Villa Baizeau(cut off roof,visible pillars)
