Summary
The Anthill is a 650-square-metre home in Ahilyanagar, Maharashtra, India, designed by Kaushal Tatiya Architects. The design takes inspiration from the cavernous earth chambers of an anthill, featuring a stack of curved brick balconies that create a distinctive earthy and tactile facade. The home is designed to provide cool living spaces in the region's hot, dry climate without relying on mechanical ventilation, using passive cooling strategies informed by the anthill's natural ventilation principles.
