Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living at Roots House

This wide view of the living room shows how we use different elements to define the space. The Cuddapah stone flooring with brass inlays guides movement, while the indoor greenery and large windows ensure the home feels connected to nature from every angle.

The mezzanine level overlooks the main living area, creating a visual connection between the private family space above and the social hub below. This open, layered design makes the home feel connected and spacious.

The exterior of 'Roots' showcases a cantilevered volume clad in local stone and a terracotta screen. This combination of textures and forms provides privacy from the street while adding a unique, modern character to the home's facade.

We designed a long, eye-level cutout window that runs the length of the living room, offering curated glimpses of the garden greenery. This feature, combined with the fully opening doors, ensures the space is always filled with natural light and views.

The geometric terracotta screen filters the view to the outside, creating privacy while allowing diffused light to enter the living space. This detail adds a layer of texture and security without sacrificing the home's open and airy feel.

The dining area is flanked by large glass doors that open to an outdoor courtyard. This setup allows for natural light to flood the space and provides the option for an alfresco dining experience, seamlessly connecting meal times with nature.

From this angle, you can see the interplay of materials and sightlines. The metal staircase railing frames the view into the dining room, which opens directly to the garden, highlighting the home's continuous flow between spaces.

Simple, clean-lined doors fold away to completely open the living area to the front garden. This design choice is fundamental to our indoor-outdoor philosophy, allowing fresh air and the sounds of nature to become part of the home's atmosphere.

This cozy library and reading nook is situated on the mezzanine level, overlooking the living space below. We designed the custom wooden cabinetry with integrated shelving to be both functional and beautiful, creating a perfect, light-filled retreat for quiet moments.
