Tasked with crafting a contemporary residence for a sprawling family of ten, inclusive of support staff, the challenge for Anil Ranka Architects lay in accommodating three generations under one roof. The design brief emphasised intertwining the past with the present, employing customised artwork as a narrative thread to connect the family's history and culture.
INTEGRATING NATURE
The presence of existing trees posed a unique challenge during construction. The team ingeniously addressed this obstacle, incorporating punctures in the RCC slab to accommodate the tree trunks and branches seamlessly.
Embracing a contemporary aesthetic, the design prioritises simplicity, focusing on functional spaces rather than ornate embellishments. The 102 existing trees on the site became integral to the design, forming courtyards that weave effortlessly through the structure. Divided into four zones Recreational, Public, Semi-public, and Private—the house ensures complete privacy while fostering a connection with nature. Cross ventilation, passive cooling, and strategically placed water bodies enhance the eco-friendly design.
A pathway flanked by water bodies and lush greenery leads to the main entry, where the landscape offers a cocoon of privacy. The entire structure creates a harmonious blend of architecture and nature. Stepping stones guide visitors to the Mandir, adorned with white marble, exuding positivity. Colourful niches add a touch of drama, while a pyramidal skylight bathes the space in natural light.
