For this 9,500 sq ft project, we used a prefabricated steel structure to achieve those soaring ceilings and open layouts, then finished it with lime plaster and reclaimed timber to ground the space in the earthy, tropical feel of a Balinese retreat. ### The Approach: Merging Structure with Serenity Building a sanctuary like Artha Villa is about finding the balance between open, airy living and structural integrity. My goal was to create a space that feels like a permanent vacation while remaining functionally sound for a Bangalore weekend home. ### Prefabrication and Earthy Finishes We did not rely on traditional brick and mortar for the core of this villa. Instead, we used a prefabricated steel framework. This allowed us to create the massive spans and high, vaulted ceilings that define the living area without compromising on safety or speed. To mask the steel and bring in that Balinese warmth, we applied a thick coat of lime plaster, which also helps with thermal regulation. ### Designing for the Tropics * **Indoor-Outdoor Flow:** The villa is designed with large glass sliders and open courtyards to ensure cross-ventilation, keeping the home cool throughout the day. * **Reclaimed Materials:** We incorporated salvaged timber for windows and doors, reducing our environmental impact while adding character that new wood simply cannot replicate. * **Lighting and Texture:** The lighting plan relies on warm, woven pendant fixtures that draw the eye up to the high ceiling, emphasizing the scale of the room while keeping the ambiance intimate after dark. Whether you are planning a weekend villa or a residential home, the principles remain the same. It is about respecting the site, using materials that age gracefully, and ensuring the structure supports your lifestyle rather than dictating it. ## About Studio Goodu I am Tharun Mahesh, and I lead Studio Goodu.
