Project Deep Dive: The Aangan Courtyard House

A view from the upper-level bridge, looking down into the double-height living room and out to the backyard. This perspective shows the vertical volume of the space and the extensive use of glass to maintain a constant connection with the landscape.

The exterior facade showcases the home's modern aesthetic, with clean lines and large glass panels. The reflection in the glass creates a beautiful symmetry with the surrounding greenery and the building's structure.

The master bedroom is designed as a peaceful retreat. It directly overlooks an internal courtyard, allowing residents to wake up with a view of nature while maintaining complete privacy. The use of warm wood flooring and a slatted wood ceiling adds to the cozy atmosphere.

A closer look at the master bedroom's connection to the courtyard. The large wooden-framed window acts as a living picture, with the changing light and weather creating a dynamic natural artwork.

This view from inside the master bedroom looks through the window across the courtyard. This layering of spaces creates a sense of depth and visual interest, a key strategy in biophilic interior design.

The upstairs lounge area is a colorful and comfortable reading nook overlooking the courtyard. This transitional space connects different parts of the home while providing a semi-private area for relaxation.

The second courtyard, seen here with a resident moving through the space, connects the lounge to the bedrooms. This open-air corridor is planted with local flora like the bird of paradise plant, enhancing the home's tropical modernism.
