A Home in the clouds
The site is located on the outskirts of bustling Mumbai, in the quite of the Sahyadri hills. The sweeping views of the Western Ghats in almost any direction are the highlight of this otherwise simple parcel of land.
The capturing and framing of these picturesque landscapes was the primary inspiration behind the architecture.
The rubric of the various levels of the house are derived from the natural terracing of the land. The arrival is planned at the highest point under a large canopy that almost acts as a wing framing the first glimpse of this House in the Clouds. The entrance view is that of a floating lotus pod that breathes in a freshness on entering after a long drive out of the city.
The 3 main intersecting blocks each house individual functions – living spaces, entertainment and private bedroom spaces. The intersection of these blocks results in interstitial spaces of varied scales that then form courtyards, which may be habitable or form vantage points. The pool though heated, has been planned as an indoor/outdoor one to optimize its use in different weather conditions.
2 parallel concrete walls act as the main axis cutting across the house and seamlessly connecting the 3 intersecting blocks.
The circulation works in a way that as you move through the house, you feel as though the house moves with you.
Materials have been strategically planned for the various blocks – using glass and steel for the public spaces and slate stone for the private spaces, both of which get anchored into the concrete spine.
