By integrating courtyards, large-span glazing, and natural ventilation, we create homes that breathe with their surroundings. ## Photos and videos - ![A central courtyard in a recently completed house, designed as a tranquil heart of the home.

We frequently re-engineer structural beams and modify floor slabs to allow for wide, unobstructed spans. This enables us to open up your living room to a garden or courtyard without compromising the structural integrity or thermal comfort of your home. ### Bridging the Gap When we design for indoor-outdoor living, our goal is to dissolve the physical separation between your home and the landscape. It is not simply about adding windows. It requires a fundamental shift in how we approach the building shell. At the Debris Block House in Bangalore, we used floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors to extend the living area directly onto the garden. By bringing the landscape into the line of sight, the garden becomes an extension of the interior. This is not just visual. It is about airflow. By strategically placing openings, we invite cross-ventilation that keeps the home cool naturally. ### Structural Challenges Creating these large openings involves significant civil work. We often have to cut into existing slabs or design support systems to carry the load of the roof above a wide sliding door. In our project in Alibaug, the living area opens directly to a pool deck. To achieve this, we carefully manage the transition between the indoor floor and the outdoor paving to ensure water drainage and thermal insulation are handled correctly. ### Materials & Light We often use material transitions to blur the lines further. Extending the same flooring material from the interior out to a patio, or carrying a wall finish from inside to a courtyard, makes the space read as one continuous volume. Natural light, whether from these large doors or overhead skylights, changes the mood of the room throughout the day, ensuring the space feels dynamic and alive. ## About CollectiveProject We are a team of architects in Bangalore obsessed with how materials and light interact. We do not just build walls; we build relationships between you, your home, and the landscape outside.
