House of Greens: Sustainable Biophilic Home Design

The name of the house, "Nemmadi" (meaning peace or tranquility in Kannada), is displayed on a simple, elegant nameplate against a board-formed concrete wall, reflecting the home's core philosophy.

The entrance walkway is a gentle transition from the street to the home. Lined with stone pavers, lush plants, and a vertical green wall, it immediately immerses you in a natural, calming environment.

The main living area is conceived as a pavilion, with a double-height ceiling and large openings to the garden. The space combines natural materials like wood and stone with modern comforts, centered around a traditional Indian swing.

A view from the upper-level family area вниз into the living pavilion. This visual connection between floors creates a sense of openness and ensures that the garden is a constant presence throughout the home.

The architecture uses cantilevered slabs to create shaded outdoor spaces and balconies. This view shows the connection between the ground-floor living area and the upper-level bedroom, both opening to the greenery.

The master bedroom terrace is a private retreat that feels like it's on the ground floor, despite being elevated. It's the perfect spot for morning tea, surrounded by the sounds and sights of nature.

Inside the master bedroom, a custom tropical-themed wallpaper complements the view outside. The material palette of wood, soft fabrics, and an exposed concrete ceiling creates a warm, earthy, and modern aesthetic.

The staircase is more than just functional; it's a design feature. The open-riser design with a glass railing allows light to pass through, and the space underneath is used for a small, pebble-lined indoor garden.

The dining area flows seamlessly from the living space, unified by an exposed concrete ceiling and views of the garden. The use of marble flooring here differentiates the zone while maintaining an open feel.
