Located near Surat, the tropical design offers a beautiful panoramic river view on one side and mango trees on the other side. When we collaborate with clients, we prioritize engaging with them from the very beginning to grasp their preferences and architectural tastes.
Editor’s Note: “This residence, surrounded by mango trees on one side and a river on the other, embraces Tropical architecture to the core. Infused with an air of enigma, its spaces unfurl gracefully, akin to the gradual blooming of a flower. The water courtyard, glass-walled living room and the expansive swimming pool elevate the aura of this residence.” ~Simran Khare
The Tropical Design Offers a Beautiful Panoramic River View On One Side | Design Work Group
We always remind ourselves that every project is a collaborative effort between the designer and the user.
Our fascination for tropical architecture always made us appreciative of its beauty and significance. Planning strategies of spatial sequencing, framing of views, and controlling of light to create a variety of different atmospheres and experiences throughout the house.
From the smaller entrance pavilion to the expansiveness of the entrance water courtyard, the visitor is focused on a quiet, more serene space dominated by trees and Nandi in the center.
The main living Room and dining room are designed as lightweight glass boxes. It sits inside what feels like a larger garden room and become one with external spaces.
At the same time, the bedroom block is solid, with private courtyards and a river view on the other side.
The house does not reveal all at once. The circulation is planned in such a way that the spaces slowly unfolds to the visitor in an experiential and spatial journey throughout the house.
The materials used in the house are a mixture of rustic natural finishes such as the roughly worked stone walls, naturally finished teak, finished textured lime walls, and Indian stone on the floor. Basic minimal materials with furnishings blending in it along with artworks to keep the house casual.
The swimming pool is located to get the most spectacular view of sunset and river, giving the feel of an infinite edge.
Finding joy in designing spaces for people extends beyond creating aesthetically pleasing designs. It requires honesty, hard work, and a consideration of how the designed space interacts with its context.
