Located on the end of a quiet, residential street in Chennai, overlooking the ocean – the project site called out for a house that opened and offered itself to the surroundings but also swaddled in its layers of privacy and barriers shielding itself from the open environment it is placed in. The design brief was very simple hence making it much more challenging – a gift from a father for his daughter who was getting married and the house would be the starting point of her new journey. The 39’x93’ linear plot had its larger side facing the ocean front with a beautiful view of the Bay of Bengal. Like every beach front property, a default requirement was to ensure that every part of the house had a view of the ocean.
Houses have tales to tell. The walls, garden or even a broken window can transport you back to a time when a small boy hit a sixer and dashed away before anyone could see him. People breathe life into the structure and are the heart and soul of the memories they create in it.

We all dream of a house that looks like it just featured on the cover of ELLE DÉCOR. For this family, a couple in their fifties and their four children, this dream came true. After years of living in a standard property in the wife’s home village, the couple purchased a plot of land in a new neighborhood that overlooks a wild and breathtaking view. The couple hired the services of Sara and Nirit Frenkel, owners of Frenkel Architecture & Interior Design, who specialize in the planning of luxury villas and estates. The overarching aim was to finetune the family’s needs and create a rustic and understated property that would serve all its residents for the years to come.
The dwellers asked to transform the standardized condo house into a comfortable and spirit family home. With the possibility to design the backyard and also the interior plan, the space integration was the main idea for this project. The couple, with their children, looking forward to better ambients who prioritized the wellness of a thruelly home.
