Article source: Art & Architecture For this project in Bangalore, we had a corner site in a quiet and fast developing residential neighborhood. Client’s requirement was a vasthu four bedroom house on three levels. The design started to evolve based on providing maximum daylight and landscape views. The car porch leads you to the front double height semi open foyer, east and north light fills the foyer along with the shadow pattern created by the grill. The ground level has a bedroom, open kitchen and dining, A prayer room in the centre of the house with formal and informal living spaces, the plan is open to create a sense of openness. Within the living room the bedroom is hidden for privacy in between the staircase and prayer room. Long sliding window shield a stone cladded pseudo wall on the northern side which can be converted to an extended seating area as well.
A metal staircase with granite tread was designed to bring more transparency and light through a laser cut wall panel, Pattern on different layers is seen throughout the staircase area. On the first level there are two bedrooms, a covered cosy balcony and a lounge connecting the bedrooms overlooking the double height living room below. The connecting spaces are beautifully lit during the day from all directions making this level to connect to the floor below. An open roof garden on the second floor along with a television room and a bedroom complete the house. The cantilevered façade creates a sense of wonder and the pattern created by the north windows to the contrast grey plastered walls tries to invite the landscaping around the house.
