Project Spotlight: A Home in Basavanagudi

The open-plan living area combines warm yellow oxide flooring with exposed earth block walls and a striking jack arch ceiling, creating a space that is both expansive and inviting.

A view from the top of the winding staircase reveals the home's vertical connectivity and the beautiful curvature of its design, drawing the eye downwards through multiple levels.

The central courtyard, a core feature of the home, housing a traditional Tulasi Katte against a backdrop of exposed brick, connecting the home to both nature and spirituality.

The entrance to the traditional puja room, framed by a carved wooden lintel and Mangalore tile awning, creating a sacred threshold within the contemporary home.

An upper-level seating area defined by antique wooden pillars and railings, overlooking the floors below. The space is a modern interpretation of a traditional 'jagali' or sit-out.

A cozy bay window seat provides a perfect nook for reading or enjoying the view, flooding the bedroom with natural light while adding architectural character.

A unique perspective looking up through a light well, featuring a brick floor detail and a large jaali screen that filters sunlight beautifully into the home's core.

The play of light and shadow at the entrance, where sunlight streams across the floor, highlighting the textures of the space and creating a warm welcome.
