Editor’s Note: A house with multiple design languages such as this has carried itself quite staunchly. The brief stroll across the sprawling garden feels amicable. The front face presents itself as the pride of the residence, along with the OTS outlined with Indian dialects. The dwelling is rich in materials that are extravagant, sober, and highly expressive in nature. ~ Nishal Sevak(Co-Editor)
The plot is surrounded by the open garden on one side and high-rise buildings on other side. 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. An impressive 6800 sqm. bungalow is the very definition of blurring boundaries between indoor and outdoor expanses, with cascading terraces create shadows for spill-over activities. The 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 a part of the landscape. The canopy is cutting across at lower height to heighten the magnificent proportions of the structure gradually, as one enters the building.

The bungalow is situated in the busy city area while majestically enveloping the landscape around it.
It is a home designed for three generations, so to cater to their individual eras it’s designed in such a way that the core(central) area of the house has 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.
The open courtyard in the center connects all the floors. Through the tilted massive fins, the filtered light enters the living room area at all times during the day.
The Interior is a confluence of varied refined details from traditional arches, and marvelous massive stone cladding, transitioning to a Neo-classic style of living and warmth of wooden paneling of the family room to the marbled flooring.
Infused with distinctive materials, bold colors, customized rugs, and curtains, the home speaks volumes about and is a testimony of the beauty in the diversity of design Styles.
