It’s no secret that India is a country of contrasts. Fashionable mansions and gleaming skyscrapers can be located on one side of the road, while on the other side you can see the slums of beggars, built of all kinds of rubbish. It was this landscape that inspired the architects to create a residential building, the facade of which is built of a variety of different-sized window frames and doors, and the interior is decorated in accordance with modern trends..

Indian architecture firm S + PS Architects has designed an extraordinary private home based on the idea of ​​contrasts. The dwelling seems to be enclosed in a concrete box, partially hiding the owners from the intrusive glances of passers-by. The facade of the house is made of a variety of old but restored window frames and doors.

Such a solution to the use of window frames that form the facade of the house is undoubtedly original, but not unique. A couple of designers also built for themselves from window frames, which cost them only $ 500.
