This Villa Style Concept of Home Lets The Landscape Plunge Into The Home| SDeG

Villa Vue is perched atop a sea-facing cliff, with distant views of the sea and its surroundings. This villa-style home hovers above a 640 sqm plot, floating off a base that accommodates a bare functional minimum, allowing the ground and garden to expand and plunge into the villa.

Editor’s Note: “Suspended between sea and sky, Villa Vue is a poetic conversation between land and water. Light, wind, and rain are conversing through carefully carved voids while the landscape dances along with the house. This villa is a canvas of nature, where the sea’s breath seeps into every room, and outside is always within reach.” ~ Anusha Sridhar

The building is embedded into the hill at the lower-ground level. At this level, it accommodates an entrance lobby, a large parking garage, utilities, and staff accommodation.

The Core

Early form-making exercises involved several iterations to locate the core precisely (comprising a stairway and elevator), both as a structural anchor and sectional pivot; to have the outsides in constant view while users navigate the vertical stack of spaces.

In plan, this placement, also allows for maximum flexibility, and opens up all floors to panoramic views of the Bay of Bengal, a perfect daily backdrop for public and private spaces alike.

The compact-upper-ground floor (of 200 sqm at approx. 30% of the plot area) sits above the garage and comprises a private study, gym, guest room, and overlooks a garden.

Garden Under the Cantilever

A large part of the garden is in shade under a 7-meter cantilever, that stays dry enough for the family to enjoy right through heavy monsoons, that Visakhapatnam is so prone to.

Organization of Spaces

The more elaborate first and second floors (336 sqm and now 52% of the plot area) hold two private lounges, formal living and dining area, a kitchen and four bedrooms for the family. The spaces are organised around the core in four structural bays, forming the tether and counterweight to the cantilever.

The building’s exoskeleton features a steel frame suspended from the main concrete shell, designed to free up the edges. Large windows span the east, north and a portion of the south to foster an unhindered connection with the outside.

These sight cones radiate from within the house. As a result, these imaginary vectors form an ensemble of tapered apertures, balconies, and sun-breakers.

A neutral palette of glass and dry-clad grey ceramics drapes the building, while the interiors contrast with a more lustrous mix of marble, smooth wall textures, and stainless steel.

This was an intentional distinction that responds to the need for robustness in adverse weather conditions. However, lighter and ‘cooler’ elements were introduced for visual and cognitive comfort.
