At Villa re:FORM, we focused on stripping back the original structural clutter to introduce a system of linear pergolas and cantilevered balconies. This intervention did not merely update the facade, but fundamentally changed how light and nature interact with the living spaces, effectively turning the building into a modern, breathing structure. ### Our Design Approach For Villa re:FORM, the primary objective was to move away from the conventional, static layout of the original structure. We employed a strategy of subtraction and addition. By removing non-essential partitions and introducing a lighter, more rhythmic facade, we opened the home to the Hyderabad climate. The design focuses on the dialogue between the built form and the surrounding foliage, creating a living environment that feels both protected and expansive. ### Technical Interventions The most significant architectural change involved the introduction of steel and timber pergolas. These elements serve a dual purpose: they provide necessary shading against the intense sun and create a strong graphic quality on the building's profile. We integrated a cantilevered balcony that extends the living area outward, blurring the boundary between the interior and the exterior gardens. The structural coordination required careful attention to existing load-bearing points, allowing us to achieve these floating volumes without compromising the integrity of the base building. ### Materiality and Light Our choice of materials was guided by the need for honesty and longevity. We utilized raw finishes that weather gracefully, including exposed structural elements and natural timber. This materiality anchors the home, providing a textured counterpoint to the clean lines of the new additions. Inside, the layout was reconfigured to maximize cross-ventilation and natural light, transforming dark, enclosed corners into bright, airy galleries for daily life. The result is a residence that feels entirely new, while maintaining a respectful connection to its context. ## About Crest Architects We are Vikas and Vishwas, the architects behind Crest.
