Viskar Homestay by Cubism Architects

This 6000 sqft Home stay is located in Coonoor, Tamilnadu on a rectangular plot .The site sits on a contoured land with the shorter side facing  the road. The location of this site was such that it could be seen from a distance and at various angles and elevations. So we had to carefully design this project so that it sits elegantly on the slope. With the distinct client brief of “A Homestay that was like no other”, the design approach commenced with the challenge to conceptualize and execute a unique abode.

The House is designed keeping in mind the simple concept of connectivity with the nature. Several terrace gardens have been provided on the various floors to provide green reprieves on every floor. The building outline evolved with the idea of retaining the existing trees on the site and providing them with the enough space to grow in the future.

The common spaces in the ground floor overlook the greenery, slopes and mountains. The First floor accommodates few of the private spaces like the bedroom which experience the scenic view of the surroundings. The plastered walls are largely left white in the common area with the warm accent of wood brought through in the form of staircase, flooring, ceilings, screens and cabinets. In the private spaces as well, the décor is kept very subtle with emphasis on the artwork and colour application to certain feature walls.
