It is about how the flooring flows from your living room onto the balcony or garden, using materials like cast in-situ terrazzo or stone that handle weather and wear well. We often use sliding or pivot panels in teak or fluted glass to let you control how open or private a space feels at any moment. When we design for indoor-outdoor living, we treat the threshold between your home and the environment as a distinct space. It is a dialogue between the interior and the landscape. We rely on techniques like the borrowed landscape, where a park or garden view is framed to become part of your interior palette. Materials play a pivotal role. We use in-situ terrazzo, polished concrete, and natural stone that carries through from indoor living areas to exterior verandas. This continuity of material helps remove the visual barrier between two spaces. We also integrate structural solutions such as cantilevered roofs that provide shade while allowing for full-height sliding glass doors. These allow you to open up a room to the elements during the day and secure it comfortably at night. In our House of Canopies project in Bangalore, we used cascading roof lines to create sheltered outdoor rooms. These areas are neither fully inside nor fully outside, serving as a functional extension of the home that adapts to the weather. Our goal is to craft spaces that invite the outdoors in, ensuring your home feels connected to its surroundings. ## About Studio Motley We are Studio Motley, and for us, architecture is about stitching stories together rather than just building walls. We mix Indian crafts with modern materials to create homes that feel grounded, breathing with nature instead of blocking it out.
