Nurtured from the initial site visit, Kadha unfurls as a visionary design, seamlessly weaving into the natural contours of the land. The elongated backyard, discovered during this exploration, transformed into a canvas for an architectural saga. By strategically placing courtyards flanking connecting bridges and adjacent blocks, a distinctive form emerged, preserving an uninterrupted vista. Our commitment to open planning not only captures a panoramic view but orchestrates a dynamic interplay of volumes, light, and shadows.
Editor’s Note: The stark white backdrop of “Katha” is a visual depiction of life and movement. The simple form with a minimal approach understands the balance of functionality and aesthetics. Flowering plants and lush foliage from trees adorn the home like ornaments, a priceless addition to its beauty. The spaces flow into each other organically with minimal visual barriers. Elegant wood furniture seamlessly merges traditionality into contemporary design. – Gopika Pramod
