Designed on a skewed 30’ x 71’ urban plot in Indiranagar, this tropical-style residence smartly responds to site and climate challenges. Due to poor soil conditions, a raft foundation was used, enabling a basement with upper-level car parking. The home is elevated 5 feet, creating a distinctive raised plinth—now a popular feature in modern homes in Bangalore. A standout element is the car ramp tucked beneath a lush garden, blending functionality with aesthetics. This green space visually connects the living room and master bedroom, enhancing indoor-outdoor living—a key feature of contemporary tropical architecture in Bangalore. At its core, a central courtyard brings in natural light and ventilation, with a puja room opening into it, adding both spiritual and climatic value. The use of exposed brick, natural stone, and wood ensures thermal comfort while reflecting tropical design sensibilities. With pitched Mangalore tile roofs, shaded verandahs, and deep overhangs, the façade balances elegance and practicality. This Indiranagar home seamlessly integrates sustainability, comfort, and local architectural identity.
