Ramkrishna House in Gujurat, India, was built in 1961-63 by Charles Correa. Correa was an Indian architect, urban planner and theorist who sadly died last year, leaving behind some phenomenal buildings. He was one of only very few architects able to elegantly use traditional techniques and materials whilst still maintaining a Modern approach to design.
