This warm and welcoming Hyderabad residence by Urban Zen is a testament to building and living in harmony with nature.

Two Parallels epitomises the seamless integration of functionality and natural beauty, emphasizing humanity's intrinsic connection with nature. This residence reduces its environmental footprint and fosters a profound bond with the landscape, creating a green sanctuary for a family of three. The green allure of nature extends indoors, dissolving formal boundaries and infusing the home with tranquillity and vibrancy.

Spread across three levels, this residence is intricately designed with lush green pockets that invite light, softness, and greenery into every corner. The foyer, serving as the main entrance and a part of the living room, is adorned with green hues and wooden textures that complement the backyard. The house welcomes visitors with a quaint garden and subtle hardscape, serving as the centrepiece of the design approach. Upon entering, one is greeted by the lush greenery that easily incorporates the garden into the open floor-plan family rooms, where windows with minimal sightlines create a feeling of openness.

The double-height ceiling, kept minimalistic, features a palatial Sans Souci chandelier paired with metal inlays in the flooring depicting its shatter radius, and embracing the sun's reflection through the glass after it sets. An art wall displays a trapezoidal installation of butterfly silhouettes, adding a personal touch and inviting the outdoors inside with bold colours. The high ceilings of the home feature a combination of natural hardwood and textured finishes that create harmony throughout the ground floor and complement the elaborate open layout.
