In the quest to create contemporary homes, architects and clients engage in a profound dialogue centered around blending tradition and modernity, ultimately reinventing the concept of home.
Rediscovering Tradition in Urban Living:
Amidst the urban sprawl, Mr. Ranganath and Mrs. Asha embarked on a journey to redefine the essence of home. With their roots deeply embedded in Karnataka’s rural landscapes, they yearned for a sanctuary where familial bonds could thrive despite the city’s relentless expansion.
Balancing Tradition and Modernity:
The design ethos embraced the concept of Blending Tradition and Modernity: Reinventing Home, evident in the central courtyard reminiscent of Karnataka’s village homes. Outside the urban cacophony, routines flowed harmoniously, nurturing connections that transcended mere physicality. Recognizing the exigencies of urban privacy, architects seamlessly integrated private and communal spaces, nurturing family life. This collaborative endeavor not only honored but also deeply embraced tradition through dialogue and partnership, fostering a profound connection with the family’s essence.
Warmth in Material Selection:
Metal elements extend space, imparting a sense of lightness, especially noticeable in the stairway. Thoughtful placement of glass blocks and skylights floods interiors with natural light, creating mesmerizing patterns that evolve throughout the day. This interplay of light and shadow, a testament to meticulous material selection, enhances the home’s ambiance.
An Engaging Façade:
The multi-dwelling concept defines the façade’s functionality and aesthetics. Curved walls expand internal spaces, complemented by terracotta blocks capturing light. Jutting balconies and a spiral staircase add allure.
Celebrating Tradition and Modernity:
From semi-circular bricks adorning the exterior to curvilinear bathrooms challenging conventions, every design element symbolizes the marriage of tradition and modernity. Local materials and craftsmanship not only contribute to the aesthetic appeal but also infuse the home with narratives embedded within their textures.
Beyond being a mere structure, this home embodies hope in a world where the true essence of home frequently diminishes. For Mr. Ranganath, Mrs. Asha, and their children, it represents more than just shelter—it serves as a sanctuary nurturing comfort, belonging, and the pursuit of dreams.
