In the heart of the city, this residence for Mr. Visakh and his family reimagines urban living as a blend of openness, privacy, and refined architectural expression. Rooted in the family’s desire for a centrally located home with easy access and connectivity, the design leverages the advantages of its dual-access plot to craft a highly functional and spatially fluid plan.

The home’s layout embraces openness—encouraging seamless movement between spaces while ensuring that natural light and cross-ventilation reach every corner. Large openings, internal courtyards, and an intentional arrangement of living areas foster a breathable and bright environment, despite the dense urban setting.

At the core of the architectural narrative is the striking jali façade. This perforated screen serves as both a sculptural skin and a passive climate moderator. By delicately filtering sunlight and enhancing airflow, it provides visual softness and thermal comfort. More than an aesthetic gesture, the jali offers privacy from the bustling city while maintaining a connection with the outdoors—an elegant solution to urban challenges.

The first floor houses a dedicated recreational lounge—a space designed for unwinding and family interaction, reinforcing the home’s spirit of togetherness and retreat.

With a harmonious balance of traditional elements and contemporary planning, this residence stands as a modern sanctuary in the city—defined by clarity in form, climatic responsiveness, and crafted detail.
