     Location : Madurai, India

    Area : 7000 Sq.ft

Project Year : 2017

Project Category : Residential – Villa – Completed.

This project is situated midst a busy locality in the city of Madurai, so the clients were very particular about the privacy of the house. We came up with the approach of building an inward looking house for the clients who wanted privacy from the street and peace through the views into their garden. So we decided to create the courtyards, water body and all the landscape elements inside the house with a pergola structure covering both the courtyards.

The requirements of the clients were minimal so we had the liberty to create all the aesthetic elements inside the house. The double height living which overlooks the big and the smaller courtyard near the puja and the dining brings a pleasant aura to the house.

The projecting cantilevered slabs in the entrance accents the façade.

Contemporary approach to the design with minimalistic materials makes it simple and attractive.

All the interior spaces are always well lit during the day time which creates a lively ambience for the people living inside the house.

All the common spaces overlook into the courtyards – Living, dining, puja, family etc…

Being our first project, this house is close to our heart.
