Villa Sarabhai or Villa de Madame Manorama Sarabhai is a modernist villa located in Ahmedabad, India. Designed by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier, it was built between 1951 and 1955.[1] It was built with an austere interior, a typical Le Corbusier design principle.
It was built for Manorama Sarabhai (sister of Chinubhai Chimanlal), who commissioned in 1951 to build a home for her growing family and was completed in 1955.
It is located on a verdant 20-acre park owned by Sarabhais. After taking into consideration the local climate conditions which are characterized by wide fluctuations of temperature and humidity, Corbusier decided on the vault as the villa's defining structure.
After featuring ChristianPottgiesser’s incredible staircase and a LeCorbusier-inspired house last week, our latest House of the Week combines the two: a Le Corbusier house with a great stair. VillaSarabhai is the house that Corb completed for Madame Manorama in Ahmedabad, India, in 1955. It was commissioned for her growing family on a verdant 20-acre park owned by the family. The house is constructed of brick, concrete and white rendering. The structure comprises cradle-vaults of flat tiles set in plaster without formwork and rows of bricks cast roughly in cement. The architect’s technical response to the climatic conditions of India is inventive and imaginative in multiple ways, for example the roof is covered with earth to become a garden with a lawn and flowers. However, a particularly beautiful detail is its external slide and stair combination. Made of concrete as a single entity, the slide goes from the first floor terrace straight into the swimming pool while the stair is an extracted zigzag to its side. Other great details are the gutters crossing the elevations and water spouts which project far from the facade

This a very large place and high security.
This place is very beautiful and very carefully mentioned by sara hai group.
So many birds are in vills
Very natural environment friendly place in those Villa's.

What's the use of having such a beautiful monument when you are not allowed to go in...
