Set in a prime location in Bengaluru, this modern house provides a calm respite in the midst of a bustling city. The three-storeyed residence is inhabited by a family of four, and is a carefully curated juxtaposition of minimal aesthetics, functionality and concepts of Vastu (traditional Indian science of spatial design and placement).

The main entrance to the house leads the visitors to the portico on the first floor while the car parking entrance provides a more private access to residents via the internal staircase and the elevator.

The main visitor entrance reveals a double-heighted, extensive living area. The volume rendered to the living area maximizes fresh air and natural light in all connected spaces. The living area also serves as a pathway to the dining, family and bedrooms across the 2 floors.

The exposed industrial staircase adorning the living area adds another layer of complexity to it. The contrasting stone wall further augments the contemporary wood and metal.

The family area situated on the second floor overlooks the living area, and remains adequately discreet despite sharing a visual proximity to it. The adjoining indoor garden provides a calming breakout space for meditative or recreational activities.

The host bedroom design is a culmination of soft and warm hues. Adequate natural light and ventilation, mood lighting and the nifty window ledge makes it the perfect space to relax and unwind.

The soft light from the north illuminates the house through the large fenestrations in the front elevation. The smaller windows in the southern façade provide thermal barrier and enable cross-ventilation.

Materiality of the house was kept very contemporary and minimal, reflecting the dweller’s persona. Interiors were conceptualized as bold modern forms with minimal clutter and large spaces that speak for themselves.
