Matharoo Associates wraps concrete home around light-filled stairwell

A network of cubic concrete volumes and staircases forms Up to the Sea, a blocky family home that Indian studio Matharoo Associates has added to the coastal town of Dumas, India.
Nestled into a grassy site near the coast, the home sits on a stone base and was designed to merge traditional Indian design with modern architecture. It features accommodation for four generations of the client's family, as well as communal spaces that surround a central light-filled stairwell.
