Home. It’s your sanctuary; the place you retreat to for solace at the end of a long day. Unfortunately, given the fast-paced lives we lead, seldom do we get the chance to really connect with our homes and feel its restorative energies soothe our senses. Urging you to live a slower, more harmonious way of life, and offering a new dimension of experiential living in the heart of India’s Garden City, is Svasa Homes—a new luxury residential project in Bengaluru’s historic Basavanagudi neighbourhood.
Conceptualised by the illustrious Machani Group for an exclusive league of individuals, Svasa Homes seeks inspiration from timeless Indian heritage, integrating it seamlessly with contemporary conveniences to facilitate an elevated lifestyle. The project fosters an ecosystem wherein a sense of shared community is actively encouraged and where like-minded individuals can collaborate to create an environment of progress. Here, it’s not just about living a full life, but more importantly, a fulfilling one.
SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW
Svasa Homes is reimagining modern-day living experiences to make them more private, inclusive, and holistic through a contemporary aesthetic that spotlights the concept of Jivana Chakra (‘Wheel of Life’). This concept centres on eight key areas of life-bringing balance—including Parisara (environment), Anuraaga (romance), Leela (recreation), Sattva (community), Vikaasa (growth), Aarthika (wealth), Praana (health), and Karya (career)—and dictates that when equilibrium is attained amongst these eight aspects, one’s life can truly be whole, complete, and fulfilled.
