The bungalow is situated in the busy city area enveloping the landscape around it. Though the plot is surrounded by the open garden on one side and high-rise buildings on other sides the orientation of the plot is such that the garden area and north light to the main habitable spaces are in shade during the day. The cascading terraces create shadows for spill-over activities. kitchen is on east and the bedrooms are placed on south-west for benefit of prevailing wind direction. Entering through the massive gate one is toured around the bungalow before reaching the drop-off point. The parking spaces are covered in greens to make them as a part of landscape. The canopy is cutting across at lower height to heighten the magnificent proportions of the structure gradually, as one enters the building.

An impressive 6800 sq.mtr. bungalow is the very definition of blurring boundaries between indoor and outdoor expanses, majestically dominates & envelopes the landscape around it.

It is a home designed for three generations, so to cater for their individual eras it’s designed in such a way that the core(central) area of the house has a traditional stone cladding and an arch, adding a vernacular touch and as we move forward it merges in modern style. The family room seating is facing the pool area and can be seamlessly amalgamated with the soothing landscape by sliding the doors to its maximum extent. The indoor and outdoor dining area can be combined at the time of the family gatherings and social events which has easy access to the swimming pool as well.

Open courtyard in the center connects all the floors. Through the tilted massive fins, the filtered light enters the living room area at all the time during the day. The Interior is a confluence of varied refined details from traditional arches, marvelous massive stone cladding, transitioning to Neo-classic style of living and warmth of wooden paneling of family room to the marbled flooring. Infused with distinctive materials, bold colors, customized rugs, curtains, the home speaks volumes about and is a testimony of the Beauty in Diversity of Design Style.
