With a focus on timeless elegance, the design incorporates modern amenities and a beautiful roof, making it a landmark in the area.
Design Approach

Timeless Elegance: The overall design exudes a timeless elegance, ensuring that the house remains stylish and relevant for years to come. The architectural elements blend classical and modern influences, creating a harmonious and sophisticated appearance.
Maximized Space Utilization: The layout ensures that every square meter is efficiently used. The ground floor’s double-volume living room and spacious entry foyer set the tone for a grand and open interior. The dining room’s sliding doors enhance the sense of space, connecting the indoor and outdoor areas seamlessly.
Large Windows: Strategically placed large windows ensure ample natural light and ventilation throughout the house. These windows not only enhance the interior ambiance but also provide stunning views of the surroundings.
Modern Kitchen: The kitchen is designed as a modern culinary haven, featuring a semi-open layout that fosters interaction while maintaining a distinct cooking area. The inclusion of a kitchen island, utility area, and kitchen porch adds to its functionality and convenience.
Dining Room: The dining room, capable of seating 10 people, is designed for both daily family meals and larger social gatherings. Its connection to the external dining area through sliding doors allows for flexible use of space, accommodating more guests when needed.
Elegant Bedrooms: Each bedroom is ensuite, providing privacy and comfort. The master bedroom is a luxurious sanctuary, complete with all necessary amenities for relaxation and comfort.
Sustainability Features: The house incorporates several sustainable features, such as solar water heating, solar lighting, and a battery power backup. The underground water storage and water harvesting systems ensure efficient water use. The kitchen garden and biodigester promote sustainable living and waste management.
Outdoor Spaces: The design emphasizes the integration of the building with the landscape. The paved walkway and preserved existing trees enhance the natural beauty of the site. The large green spaces and external dining area encourage outdoor activities and social interactions.
Comfort and Durability: The use of durable materials ensures the house remains low maintenance while providing a comfortable and healthy living environment. The inclusion of a fireplace adds to the home’s warmth and ambiance.
