ALTURA Residences: Elevated Modern Living
We designed ALTURA to be more than just a home. By combining biophilic principles with clean, structural lines, we created a living space that feels connected to the sky and the local landscape.
The living room at ALTURA is defined by a feature wall with earthy, textured panels and integrated shelving. The large sectional sofa and warm, layered lighting create an inviting space for relaxation and socializing.

This living space at ALTURA opens up to the outdoors through large glass doors. The interior design uses a neutral palette and natural materials to maintain a strong connection with the exterior view, even at night.
The dining area in the ALTURA project is bright and airy, with a bold abstract painting and a vibrant rug adding color and personality. The design is clean and modern, perfect for both family meals and formal dining.

This bedroom design for ALTURA features a textured concrete-finish wall panel behind the bed. A long wooden ledge acts as a continuous headboard and display shelf, adding warmth and a strong horizontal line to the space.

About ALTURA Residences: Elevated Modern Living
In the ALTURA project, our focus was on managing the relationship between indoor privacy and outdoor openness. We used floor-to-ceiling glazing and strategically placed courtyards to ensure each living space captures natural daylight without excessive heat gain, maintaining a consistent, passive cooling effect throughout the day.
The ALTURA project serves as a case study for our approach to modern residential living in Bengaluru. We moved away from standard apartment planning to prioritize the flow of air and light, ensuring every zone functions as an extension of the local environment.
The layouts feature a clear separation between public and private zones. The ground floor acts as a shared space, with the living and dining areas organized around a central axis that connects to the landscape. On the upper floors, we focused on privacy and quietude, using textured concrete panels and wooden joinery to soften the hard surfaces typically associated with luxury homes.
Biophilic integration was non-negotiable here. We incorporated built-in planters and green buffers that act as both visual screens and natural cooling agents. By using local materials like stone and responsibly sourced timber, the interiors feel grounded rather than staged. This approach allows for a reduction in long-term energy costs while significantly improving indoor air quality.

We are a collaborative studio, sketching in the morning and getting our hands dirty on site by the afternoon. We believe design is about the small, meaningful details that build a home, from the way light hits a wall to the flow of a room.
