Amidst rolling farmlands, far removed from Bangalore's urban bustle, is this unique residence flaunting an 18’ cantilever structure. Designed for a family of five, this home is Vaastu compliant and has a profound connection to nature. Despite a plot area of 6650 sft at their disposal, the client emphasized the importance of following the 'Aaya' footprint, thus restricting the extent of the ground floor to a mere 2500 sft. The open space around the building is crafted with steps and pathways of stone, seamlessly merging with the tropical landscape.
In order to justify the full extent of the property, we conceived an open-plan residence that conveys a sense of vast interior space while maintaining an unbroken connection to the outside from every space. The client’s requirement and the restrictive footprint also pushed us to create multiple overhangs on the upper floor to accommodate different spaces. The resulting structure is a captivating arrangement of masses, thoughtfully crafted to fulfill specific purposes and artfully framing picturesque vistas of the surrounding landscape.
Strategically positioned skylights within the interior spaces promote the influx of natural light and allow residents to engage with the changing seasons, cultivating a profound sense of tranquility throughout the home. The design boasts a unique aesthetic through its raw integration of various stone types and exposed concrete, thus earning the title "Quarry House."
