The stimulating part about designing this residence was to offer spacious rooms with appropriate openings and open spaces in a plot size of 1860 sft. Our agenda was to create a cohesive design of architecture and interiors by the virtue of the structural elements forming a base for the contemporary interior design. We put together our learnings of experiencing the feel of a home and achieving an aesthetically appealing house. The design is rooted on minimal design concepts yet providing all the facilities falling under contemporary lifestyle for the client. The planning is based on ‘vastu’ concepts for home, optimising each and corner of the house for various functions. On the first floor – the double height ‘puja’ area forms the central space emphasizing volume, with master bedroom, on one side and kid’s bedroom on the other. The planning of these spaces is done in a grid form, which allows future modification / expansion of either of the bedroom spaces. Reaching on the second floor, another bedroom stands right above the kid’s bedroom, which can also be potentially converted in to a multi-purpose / entertainment area. On the front side lies a beautiful terrace garden with an adjoining splash pool. A space that can be enjoyed by everyone with a cosy seating space by the splash-pool, sway on the swing or sit peacefully on the lawned surface.
A chic contemporary villa standing tall on the site.
The architecture of these houses is rooted on the concept of minimalism yet providing with a careful design for a modern living.
A soothing exterior palette with greens at various levels is what make this community as humble place to live in.
The fins used for the façade act as sun breakers, partially hides the openings and gives a bold statement to the houses. On the top floor, it also hides the pool and offers privacy from the adjoining villas.
The deck is a pleasing space as an extension to the living room. This in turn allows ample of natural light and ventilation in the interior space. The water feature on the wall adds to value to this calming area.
The concept of ‘second kitchen’ is introduced here (attached to the main kitchen further connected to the utility, but as an outside space) for giving a direct access to the servants without entering the main space, thus making sure of the security therein. This also offers a cleaner indoor kitchen space.
The terrace garden is a beautiful space designed for some fresh air. A smartly designed roof here, offers an appropriate space for solar panel installation, which encourage the buyers to use solar power without any worry of the terrace space getting utilised thereby.
This part of the terrace contains a splash pool encompassed by the fins on the two sides for a visual privacy from other houses. It is kept open for the buyer to either convert it into an extended garden, a semi-covered seating longue or simple enjoy the splash pool.
