This Indian Contemporary House Design is a Tranquil Retreat

The facade of this Indian contemporary house design strikes a careful balance between solids and voids, with sculpted forms that reveal the inner workings of the space. The design plays with light and shadow, creating visual depth and intrigue from the exterior. The form resembles a cuboid that has been scooped out, while the outer shell serves as an envelope for the house. It also plays a significant role in enhancing privacy, ensuring the home remains a tranquil retreat despite its proximity to neighboring houses.

The design of the house focuses on maximizing natural light, ventilation, and privacy while catering to the needs of a growing family. The challenge of the plot was addressed through a series of stacked, segmented levels, creating a dynamic, layered spatial experience. The unique facade design captures panoramic views while ensuring the interior remains private, striking a perfect balance between openess and seclusion. The crisp client brief stated the number of bedrooms and other living spaces required by the family. The narrative that dictates the design is an abstract connection of this family, in time and space, by means of multiple cutouts in the vertical sections, thus encouraging mutual interaction without sacrificing on privacy.

Living Room

 The living room sets the tone for the rest of the house. A double-height volume opens up as soon as you walk in, drawing the eye upward and enhancing the sense of space. The design is not just about volume, but about creating a welcoming atmosphere where the family can entertain and relax.

Large openings frame views of a small green patch, ensuring privacy from the road and adding a natural element to the living space. For ease of movement in the spaces, lift and the stairs are provided and positioned strategically . The entrance to the house itself is a “pause – mediating the inside and outside”.
