[1][2] Building on his previous projects whilst integrating the traditional features of Ahmedabad design, the villa symbolizes Le Corbusier's domestic architecture.

His intention was to showcase his social and economic position prior to his impending marriage by building a house reflecting his lifestyle.

[5][6] Key aspects considered in designing Villa Shodhan included sun, wind, the view upon arrival and landscaping.

They could be addressed above all by the positioning of the facades which, with a diagonal orientation, allowed the incoming visitor a view over three-quarters of the building.

The landscaping sets off the building by contrasting the curved mounds of the site with the geometric, rectangular lines of the structure.

[12] The terrace plays an important role in the natural climate control process, cooling down the bedrooms in the middle of the day and providing an alternate sleeping area during the summertime.

[21][22] Villa Shodhan was considered to be built in Le Corbusier's period of fulfilment[23] with comparisons made between many of his previous projects.
