Designer Rohit Suraj describes this project as the ‘House of the Tropics’ and here’s his explanation for that terminology. “This classic design inspired by nature in the tropics is a warm and inviting home reminiscent of a farmhouse where interior interacts with outdoors. It is designed in respect with straight lines and open spaces, exuberating elegant décor.” And to think, this home is in the heart of Jubilee Hills, a densely populated, prime estate address in Hyderabad.
Starting from the ground level of the house, with garden spaces all around, that is lifted up from street level enabling a good flow of light into the home while giving it ample ‘breathing space’ in the living area. As we move further indoors, the double-height dining area aided with a concoction of indoors and outdoors comes across through the glazed framing overlooking the trees in the podium garden. Shifting to the outdoors, the species of plants chosen for the front garden are also inspired by the interior theme. The space on one side of the entrance gate frame is designed with knotted wooden planks so that it blends in with the garden on the inside. The serenity of Mother Nature is framed perfectly with the sculpture, landscape and greenery singing together in harmony. Thus it is a design that sets this home apart amongst all the others in the neighborhood in a stately manner.
