Soul of urban openness

Tucked into the calm, tree-lined lanes of Nagarbhavi in Bangalore, Avani Residence rises as a poetic response to the chaos of the city, a vertical sanctuary where light dances, materials breathe, and space unfolds in gentle rhythms.

Designed by Archemist Architects for a family of four, the residence is a nuanced interplay between constraint and creativity, intimacy and openness, structure and spirit.

Art of vertical living

On a compact urban footprint, the architects sculpted a vertical home that defies its modest plot size, drawing the eye and the spirit upward, keeping openness in mind. Spatial connectivity was central to the design intent: floor plates are interconnected both visually and experientially, softened by natural light and enriched through seamless movement.

At the heart of the home lies a voluminous double-height living room, its soul, flooded with golden eastern light that washes over a dramatic 20-foot stone feature wall.

Art meets architecture

The interiors are an ode to craftsmanship. The main living space opens into a flowing ensemble of living, dining, and kitchen areas. Here, art is not merely decoration, it is embedded into the bones of the space.
