A DANCE BETWEEN SPACE AND SKY

While one half of this home mimics the openness, ease and green grandeur of a luxury resort, the other half is deeply personal and cocooned

- AVRIL NOEL D'SOUZA

If the landscape doesn’t do it for you, perhaps the 15-foot-high main door will.

But even then, if neither of these works, we are certain it’s the impressive scale and minimalist spatial interventions that will have you at ‘hello’. This home is an architectural masterpiece where nature interplays with the living spaces, either through its sheer presence or through sights, scents or sounds. It feels like a very luxurious tropical retreat, yet it relays an informal narrative through its interiors, as if to say, “This is us, and this is our home!” This deeply personal note takes the edge off the minimalist architecture, making this address a wonderful meld of cool, warm and memorable.
