Interiors of the house give a contemporary look with its sleek and simple furniture and false ceiling design blends with the furniture for a luxury feel. Different textures are created in the finishes with the use of glass, wood, stone and wall paper in different rooms to match with different personalities of the occupants. A soft pallet of colours scheme dominates the main area of the house enabling a liberated and spacious feel. Hand picked wall hanging, curios, artifacts and other loose furniture create focal points and highlight the interiors. We aimed to create comfort with interesting materials and aesthetic use of spaces.

Living and dining areas are divided with a partition cum display unit which acts as a focal point in this large area. Free flowing and large family room in the first floor has false ceiling and furniture that gives an open and spacious feel. Being in any part of the house, one is subtly reminded of the nature of the place and its changing character. The design becomes more about experience than the form alone.

This west facing house has been designed in such a way that the amount of sunlight and heat is reduced by pergolas at different levels thus improving the micro climate inside the house and its surrounding. The pergolas are specifically designed with geometric cut outs for aesthetic look as well as to avoid the large pergolas from looking too heavy. Utility areas like the toilets and balconies placed on the Western side as buffer zones to guard against the heat.

Projections of balconies, horizontal planes and recessed surfaces come together to form a facade with a unique character. This coupled with pergolas placed over landscaped courtyards create an interesting play of light and shadow in the midday Sun. Terrace area in front has been uniquely designed into a large garden space below the pergolas. Interiors of the house give a contemporary look with its sleek and minimalistic furniture and simple false ceilings. We aimed to create climatic comfort with luxury in this residence with uniquely interesting materials and intelligent use of spaces.

Courtyards were planned in the interior of the house bring in abundant natural light and greenery into the the house. Being in any part of the house, one is subtly reminded of the nature of the place and its changing character throughout the day presented through Sunlight playing in the strategically placed courtyards. The design becomes more about experiences than the form alone.
