“The blend of jaali with solid whites, exposed concrete and wooden frames gives us a perfect mix of conventional and contemporary.”
“Drawing natural light and breezes into the house, the courtyard accentuates the lobby ceilings and the endless space that is central to its design.”
An open triple height volume located in the central core forms a courtyard dining space that flows intuitively into adjoining living and kitchen spaces. Large windows and skylight in the central courtyard fill the space with ample daylight, making it a pleasant experience across all floors.
The angled brick clad walls create dramatic shadow play on either sides which is especially pleasing when viewed from a mid-landing of the very nonchalant floating metal staircase.
