Designing a Home
for an Architect

Hillside Residence · Chittagong Memory · Spatial Experience B.Arch Studio · UAP

What does a house know about its owner? A hillside site in Chittagong — Bangladesh's port city, folded into a landscape of hills, harbour, and monsoon — becomes the ground for a question the profession rarely asks itself directly: how does an architect inhabit their own making?

The project works through memory and spatial experience as primary generative forces. Section drives plan. The hill's topography enters the house and does not apologise for the intrusion. Light is controlled, not abundant. Space is compressed then released. The architect's home is not a manifesto of style but a record of attention.
