The historic Race Course Road in Coimbatore hides in its leafy folds an open, interconnected and serene home, built as an ode to the personality of its inhabitants as it basks in the city’s rich textile traditions. Principal Designers Sandeep Khosla and Amaresh Anand of Bengaluru based Khosla Associates have shaped this two-storeyed, 12,500 sq ft abode that’s swamped with frequent green bursts, infusing solid concrete walls with naturally lit spaces. “The emphasis was on adapting a modern tropical theme to the space by blurring the boundaries between the indoors and outdoors,” says Anand.
