N House: Oasis Of Modern Architecture In The Midst Of South Indian Fabric | Artisan Design Studio
A renovation project inclined towards increasing the current area by 3000 sqft, in order to facelift for the house. located in Nellore, a port city in Andhra Pradesh. The design concept was to modernize the architecture as well as interiors keeping in mind sustainability and passive design while considering the hot and humid temperature of Nellore.

While Vastu played an important role in zoning, planning, and redefining the entire house, the grandparents’ master bedroom fell in the southwest direction over the ground floor along with formal living, kitchen, and dining.

Centre chandelier is adding drama to the space.
SON’S BEDROOM
Walls, floor and bed painted in shades of grey define a union. Being the major size room of the house, zoning was parted in three functions (bathroom with dresser, bed area, study area).
