Scope and Content

This project series documents the residence of Shri Chandra Prakash Gupta in Saharanpur, India in 1985. The project consisted of a two-storey home with a smaller third storey tower. The home had a dining room, kitchen, drawing room and bedrooms on the two first floors. On top of the smaller third storey tower was an upward facing water tank that resembled a large trough. An elaborate boundary wall surrounded the property and featured a tall, arched gate. This wall, coupled with a front door panelled with rosette designs and windows with patterned grills, gave the home a distinct exterior.

The project is recorded through original drawings consisting of floor plans, elevations, sections, details and furnishing drawings, and photographs and negatives of the finished home, dating from on or around 1985.
