A four-level home where each floor serves a distinct purpose—from work to wellness. Fragmented volumes, internal courtyards, and shaded terraces create a balance of privacy, comfort, and climate-responsive design.
The site is east-facing, with a usable plot area defined after accounting for mandatory setbacks.
A landscaped garden welcomes you at the entrance, offering views from both the family and entry zones. The villa is thoughtfully structured across four levels: the Ground Floor serves as an office space, the First Floor hosts public and family areas, the Second Floor comprises private suites, and the Terrace is reserved for recreation and wellness. This spatial hierarchy creates a seamless transition—from active, shared zones to intimate private spaces, culminating in areas designed for relaxation.
The building is conceived as a series of interlocking volumes, where each floor is zoned for specific functions—service, social, private, and leisure—allowing for clear programmatic separation and privacy. The massing is deliberately fragmented to create shaded terraces, overhangs, and screened openings, enhancing thermal performance and spatial variety.
The building mass is visually fragmented to avoid monolithic heaviness. Each floor expresses a different function—work, living, private, and leisure—which is reflected externally in volumetric shifts. These shifts help distinguish zones while maintaining an overall sense of unity.
Strategic projections and recesses are used to create shaded terraces, balconies, and overhangs. These not only animate the façade but also enhance passive climate control, reducing heat gain and promoting ventilation.
The form modulates between solid and transparent zones. Larger openings face green pockets or setback areas, while screened elements and planter-integrated balconies provide visual relief and privacy. The layering of mass thus reflects both the program inside and the environmental needs of the site.
GROUND FLOOR – The ground level establishes a dual-functional base, integrating office spaces and service areas. With two distinct entry points—one for professional use and another for residential access—the layout enforces zonal clarity. Dual servant quarters, a dedicated residential lobby, and an office lobby support a hybrid lifestyle, ensuring that work and home remain functionally and experientially distinct.
FIRST FLOOR – This level marks the primary domestic zone, centered around a formal foyer leading into expansive living, dining, and kitchen areas. The use of wet and dry kitchens reflects modern Indian culinary practice. A puja room, guest bedroom, and powder room support cultural routines and short-stay hospitality, demonstrating a balanced approach to openness and ritual specificity.
SECOND FLOOR – Dedicated to personal retreat, the second floor houses a master suite, bedrooms with en-suite baths, and walk-in closets. The spatial core is animated by an internal courtyard—a passive strategy for light and ventilation. This central void reinterprets the traditional Indian haveli, enabling a sense of calm and inward focus within the vertical format
FOURTH FLOOR+TERRACE – Crowning the residence is a recreational terrace featuring a private plunge pool, home theatre, and gym. Designed as a semi-open leisure zone, it elevates the concept of a terrace beyond utility—transforming it into a wellness retreat layered with programmatic richness and visual relief.
