Editor’s Note: “Guided by Vastu and sculpted in form, ‘Up House’ blurs the line between art and architecture. Crafted like a memory map, this bungalow threads together curated volumes, travel echoes, and mindful design. The house speaks not of excess, but of elegance, where every space becomes a reflection.” ~ Anusha Sridhar
