The brief demanded a rather large weekend get-away house for a joint family- consisting of

three smaller self-contained villas for the parents and the two brothers (and their families)

within the house with some shared facilities. The site had sweeping views towards the east

and was steeply contoured and required good use of levels to negotiate the ground while

maximising the view towards the east.

The design looked at creating exterior open spaces between these three individual villas at

the same time maximising their views out towards the east. The program was abstracted

into two individual villas having two bedrooms each with the main shared facilities in

between. There was a level added at the upper level that completed the younger brother’s

house with a large Music room attached to it. The guest rooms were tucked below one villa

with the services and parking under the other villa.

The house uses the black basalt stone of the Western Ghats to create a visually stronger

and solid base and exposed concrete walls to emphasize the main villa spaces. A light

weight steel roof structure with wooden planks and Mangalore tiles completes the

composition. A grey limestone floor ties in all the circulation spaces while the main living

space has a white buff stone that creates its own pixelated carpet like look.
