The detailed study helps to epitomise that the essence of Meenaben Bhandge’s house lies in the skilful use of timber-laced brick masonry, traditional chowk with wooden facades and carvings, people gathering around otla outside the house. The characteristic facade and detailing of this G+2 dwelling have existed since centuries in Ahmedabad. The adjoining house was once a part of this house depicting the organic and inorganic evolution the house has undergone and revamped to the current times while preserving its most symbolic elements: the traditional house form; courtyard; water cistern (Tanka) & basement; magnificent timber facade making it a significant structure.
