The project is situated amidst a 18-hole 'Nicklaus Design’ golf course, one of the greenest and longest cart course in India. With its characteristic rolling contours, sand and beach bunkers, water bodies and ‘island greens’, the site and its surroundings present a unique backdrop to this project. The challenge was to design a swimming pool such that it draws in the tranquil and idyllic space of its surrounding and becomes in itself an object of admiration
Spatial elements have been used to create axial relationships between inside-outside and the landscape beyond. The pool, the swim-up bar and a minimalist ‘floating’ gazebo defines the primary axis between the dining and the 9th hole (Image 01: Layout of pool and landscape elements and image 02: Aerial view of pool and golf course). A secondary axis, diametrically perpendicular to the primary axis, is defined by the Baja Shelf on one end and the ‘floating’ Champa tree planter on the other end (Image 03: Baja Shelf/Water fall and Champa Tree Planter forming the Secondary axis).
At various points along the pool’s facing edge, the house opens up, establishing a free flow of light, ventilation and movement. The living verandah is extended to provide a deep shaded outdoor living space where family and friends congregate (Image 04: The extended verandah). Whilst one edge of the verandah is cantilevered over the pool the other transforms into an Al freso eating area with an integrated swim-up bar (Image 05: Verandah extends into Al Fresco Seating and Swim-Up Bar).
The dining room windows are replaced with doors to strengthens the spatial connectivity to the outside. (Image 06: Dining room leading directly into the al-fresco seating and swim-up bar and Image 13-View of Pool from Dining Al Fresco).The living room is designed to offer the flexibility of creating multiple seating layouts based on what 'event' it housed whilst catering to the needs of three generations, their extended family and friends. (Image 07: Living room seating can be configured in a number of ways).
The lightness and the flow of spaces is further enhanced through the use of materials, mostly natural. River wash granite around the pool and Brazilian IPE wood with oil finish is used in the verandah (Image 08: Exterior Material Palette). In the interiors, hand polished teak wood and natural veneers are complimented with granite stone stops and back-lit onyx stone (Image 09: Granite and backlit onyx stone detailing). The neutral tone of walls and ceilings provide an appropriate canvas for the client’s collection of artwork.(Image 10: The family diwan room). The wall tattoo is designed in collaboration with the client to give a personal character to the upper floor family lounge (Image 11: Family wall tattoo designed with the client).
One of the most striking part of this project is the perimeter overflow channel that was designed such that the water appears to float at deck level. This technically challenging detail, know as the Lautner Knife Edge creates an experience that is unmatched in pool design (Image 13: The Lautner Knife Edge Detail)
