A Modern Indian Brutalist House With Artistic Touches

Combining a crude Brutalist House composition with softer Indian interior touches, this fabulous home design is a dramatic blend of modern architectural principles and traditional Indian typologies. Created by talent at The Web Architects, this unique house was designed for a small entrepreneurial family with a creative mindset. In addition to running a flower business, the client is also a poet, while his son is an avid nature photographer. Built on a plot of about 12,000 square feet, the large property was shaped to provide a simple, functional home. A minimal material palette of concrete, natural stone and keystone provide a modest interior base for decorated Indian elements and art.
With a southwest-facing plot, the brutalist house exterior had to be shaped to protect its interior from the scorching sunlight and heat. An overhanging canopy was inspired by the mysterious sight of an Indian woman shading her face from the sun under the folds of a pallu or odhani.
A bold red sculpture draws a focus near the back door of the home, contrasting brightly with the green landscape. To prevent the architectural envelope from appearing too thick and disproportionate to the main volume of the home, the protruding case was cut and staggered.
The sloping profile of the canopy gives the structure a visually light result while reaching a deep shadow over the windows.
The sliced facade also creates three cantilevered levels. Various terraces are pocketed under the canopy to take advantage of the happy shade, most of which have abundant greenery and flowers. The simple entrance slides under a concrete canopy. It has a three-meter high door that is pulled out and embedded in stone. The front door welcomes guests into an impressively long passageway with seating arranged on the left and a waiting lobby on the right.
The deep overhangs protect not only the windows from direct sunlight but the outer walls from heat gain.
The architectural concept was finalized after studying the solar path.
The concrete walls of the home are woven with lumber, which provides additional visual interest without disrupting the honesty of the material.
The property, called Beton Brut (raw concrete in French), takes advantage of the edifying color and freshness of plant life both inside and out. Due to the predominantly arid climate of the region, drought-prone plants have been selected for the southwest-facing terraces. These temperate specimens also encourage an influx of beautiful butterflies and hummingbirds to the outdoor terraces, creating an amazing biodiversity.
As we move inside the home, we discover a magnificent double-height living room. Molded concrete continues to have a textural interest here, and provides a cool gray background for the warmth of rich tequila furniture. Living spaces are focused on the garden to establish a consistent connection with nature.
A highly decorative Jharokha makes a striking contradiction to the simplicity of the brutalist concrete structure. The opening overlooks the large living room below, creating a close link between two levels of the home.
The complexity of the Jharokha design is complemented by traditional carved art on the opposite side of the room. Many decorative pieces in the home are picked up from old Havelis, mandapas, and vases to soak up an authentic Indian essence into the home.
Interior windows create more connections between levels and benefit from natural light from every direction.
The staircase design features open wooden steps to achieve a light balance with the bold concrete surroundings.
Colorful artwork and round portholes add interesting details to the climb.
Up on the landing area, glass railings allow the unique staircase design to be taken fully without obstruction.
A courtyard grows at the base of the stairs. The indoor plants were chosen to help maintain the humidity level of the interior.
Two staircases are welcome in sunlight throughout the day. One, a linear slit-like opening near the wall and the other a dim roof lantern. A dramatic play of light falls over the textured concrete to create a dynamic setting.
Above, natural photography brings color and life to the design of the master bedroom. The moderate material palette of concrete, sandstone, mud stone and keyboard wood continues in the bedrooms to ensure a quietly cohesive interior aesthetic throughout.
A teak deck bed has a floating trapdoor design that leaves the floor space looking clear and untidy. High-gloss Mud-stone tiles reflect the furniture contours, creating a dreamy, watery effect. A beautiful plantation welcomes the homeowner outside onto the shaded terrace.
Striking planters, a comfortable chair and a small side table form an inviting reading area.
On the ground floor and site plan, we see how trees have been strategically positioned around the property so that when they bloom, they will protect the house from the southwest heat.
The garden is located to the west.
Once the floor plan was completed, it was important to ensure that sunlight coming in from the southwest was controlled to protect the home from severe weather conditions.
Car parking is arranged within the cool limits of an underground garage.
The architectural shape creates a duality of light and shadow, which also enhances the board-shaped texture of the concrete.
The home design communicates a great sense of space that unites the family without endangering individuality.
Areas of congregation are interspersed with places of solitude to provide a sense of freedom and luxury.
Despite its assertive geometric shapes and powerful monolithic appearance, the home contains an emotional heart.

Red Laterite Stone Shines in South Indian Home
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Replacing one existing house and warehouse, this large family home was made to complement the tropical lifestyle of Kerala, India. Created by The Design Room, the architecture comprehensively retains the native trees of the 600 square meter site, and encloses several of them within a central courtyard design. The built-up spaces separate from this outdoor heart of the home, which achieves a comfortable connection. The open plan layout was guided by the region’s humid climatic conditions. The benefits of cross ventilation, passive cooling and natural lighting have satisfied the vision for an energy-efficient home. Outside, the vegetation contrasts sharply with the visual warmth of a rich red laterite stone.
The attractive three-storey house structure has a clear modern façade of contrasting red stone and pure white imagery. Established plants harden around the edges of the plot, growing abundant borders. Built-in planters pull a splash of natural greenery up at the front entrance door, and onto the first-floor terrace of the home.
Paving stones interrupt the green ground cover, placing a welcoming checkered driveway. Low metal gates intelligently in front of the property, while white-made walls separate the dwelling from its close neighbors.
Overhangs above the windows and terraces keep the interior and exterior living quarters cool and shady. Umbrella roofs have been implemented into the home design to support passive cooling of the interiors. These attractive roof structures also successfully hide solar panels installed on them.
The materials for the construction were carefully selected due to their local availability and their thermal effects. Laterite, an iron-rich soil and a rock formation formed in tropical areas, was widely used in construction. Historically used in monument construction, this time Kannur brick laterite bricks are used correctly as a replacement for exterior cladding.
A minimalist interior design completes the airy openness of the floor. Wooden furniture and window frames complement the natural greenery both inside and outside the home. The soft upholstery is light and creamy to adhere to a peaceful palette of polished white floors and white painted walls. The design shows detailed attention to the efficient circulation of air throughout the house, using lath fords and open bookcases to create lightweight zoning.
A double high vacuum makes for an impressive dining room. The modern dining set is a rich wood tone that warmly coordinates with the architectural details of the home. Double doors connect the inner dining room with the main courtyard.
A small courtyard design thrives under a wide skylight, where it blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior. A huge glass window presents the beautiful view to the apartment and staircase, while glass doors lead to the dining room.
There is a modern vanity unit with a bathroom sink inside the courtyard where the family can wash their hands before dinner. A round wall mirror makes an elegant decorative feature.
The staircase design has open levers, allowing the view of the courtyard and natural light to flood without hindrance. A comfortable seat takes advantage of the pleasant view.
The creamy, white and wood minimalist decor continues inside the quiet bedrooms. In the master bedroom series, three wooden shutters create a tropical style trapping feature behind the wooden platform bed. Bespoke wooden wardrobes span the entire length of the large room to a matching bookshelf.
False walls with decorative holes are included on the west and south sides of the home to achieve cooler interior spaces. The decorative screens create a beautiful play of light through the open interior.
Comfortable seats dot the home, made up of modern chairs and an ottoman or two. The seats offer a quiet moment of family solitude for a place of reading or peaceful contemplation.
As well as the already established plant life on the plot, additional plantation was chosen to harmonize with local growing conditions and the customers preferred aesthetics.
A map is shaded by vehicles from the hot sun during the day. Exterior lights brightly illuminate the driveway, balconies and terraces at night.
The first floor terrace overlooks the central courtyard down below ground level, creating a family flow connection across the vertical plane.
The sun-stained courtyard has round decorated areas that interconnect with circular plant beds. The plant beds are dotted around to contain huge trees that were already established on the site when it was purchased. In fact, the idea for the big yard stemmed specifically from the notion of wanting to protect the many adult trees at the core of the plot.
The site is located just one kilometer from Kollam beach.
Side height, showing cladding organization and windowing.
Ground floor plan with patio, formal living room, family living room, dining room, kitchen and butler kitchen, master bedroom, and double bedroom that is used as grandparents.
First floor plan with a large terrace, a spacious upper lounge, a home gym, and two additional bedrooms for the children.
The open flow of the home arrangement encourages many interactions between family members, as well as time spent outdoors in nature and fresh air. These interactions with family and nature help a lot with mental well-being, while the home gym will help in the quest to keep the body healthy.
In this illustrated diagram, we look at the solar and airflow aspects of the home and its successful energy-efficient project solutions.

Modern Indian House With A Beautiful Indoor Pond
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
A slow, nature-kissed serenity flows through this modern Indian house design, which was created by the talent at an architectural firm. Developing Radical Aesthetics. From the outside, the modern home is trimmed with mature palms and established plant beds that frame the fresh white image of asymmetrical architecture. Inside the house, a bold staircase design dominates a wide entrance that leads into open and airy lounges. The simple yet elegant accommodations pause at bright courtyards that provide a blissful breeze. One sun-stained courtyard has a beautiful koi fish pond that provides vibrant color, life and quiet entertainment to family members of all ages.
As we approach our prominent home from the main street, White-painted boundary walls complete the clear white depiction of sharp asymmetrical architecture that cuts into the clear blue sky. Ripe palm trees soften the sloping silhouette of the house before the gradient of the roof guides the eye down into established plant beds.
The modern façade shines warmly at night, as outside lights illuminate the porch and indoor jewelry glitters from within a light-permeable second-floor wall.
Stone paving slabs covered the driveway and entrance of the contemporary Indian home, clearing the path for visitors. An architectural overhang provides ample shade over the front door.
Above the front entrance, a covered balcony offers a cool and shady place to hang out, read or chat.
As we enter the high-quality home, we are greeted with a wide-open entrance. A dominant modern staircase design climbs to the upper floor with open wooden steps and a bold solid black railing.
Open doors lead from the wide entrance into the living room and a separate dining room. A watery courtyard installs a peaceful break between the residences and encourages a blissful wind to cool the inner rooms.
Delicate water lilies grow in the heart of the koi pond, while the lively koi fish feel a vibrant orange color as they meander around the bubbling borders.
Plenty of green plants bloom around the edges of the colorful koi fish pond, where they reach up through the sun-stained space toward the sky.
The lively pond creates a dreamy view of the living room and the formal dining room.
The decoration inside the dining room is simple and minimalist, light and understated, so as not to detract from the neighboring koi pond. A contemporary wooden tone and a dull black buffet embrace a cool planked concrete wall. Two modern dining room lights drop satin silver accents over the modern dining set.
Above the buffet unit, a trio of botanical wall art prints complete the beauty of the adjoining courtyards. A soft gray carpet warms the tiled floor of a dining room.
The dining room is sandwiched between two courtyards that shed natural light on the white upholstered dining chairs. The shade of the light changes as the sun sets, which magically transforms the color scheme of the dining room.
The soothing koi fish pond distracts family members of all ages, from the very small and curious to the older and contemplative.
The koi pond also makes the most amazing and quiet addition to bedrooms. Here, an elegant bedroom chair pulls up to the patio doors to appreciate the special view. Floral blankets connect with the relationship to nature, along with natural wooden deck design and a vase of greenery. A small night light emits a warm and calm glow.
The dry courtyard design provides other rooms and walkways with a burst of natural greenery, a breath of fresh ventilation and a splash of natural daylight. Glass walls on each floor of the home ensure that the courtyard view is spread high and wide.
A small garden area was planted upstairs so that every room in the home would benefit from a tangible connection with the outdoors. A loose swing offers an inviting place to look at the view and move the hours away. An outdoor chair and table are set at a tactile distance from the plants for a more enveloping garden moment.
An eclectic mix of furniture stylizes the living room spaces.
Eight-gloss wooden chairs are paired with an air-permeable wall. A blue planter draws color inspiration from the cloudless sky.
The upper landing is bordered by clear glass railings, which leave the flow of natural light unobstructed.
A covered balcony welcomes the family into the fresh air.
A unique concrete bench curves the perimeter of the balcony.
A wide ceiling filters the strong sunlight to provide a comfortable shade. Outdoor planters bring a piece of the garden to the upper seat.
Board shaped concrete contours the side of the contemporary Indian home exterior.
Each room is designed to take advantage of the natural breeze and mild shade.
Ground floor plan and first floor plan.
The section drawing clearly illustrates the positioning of the dining room between the two courtyard designs.
Design of living space, including living room, dining room and beautiful patio with koi pond. We also see the covered balcony above, which is lovingly and aptly named the Sunset Garden.
The project is titled The Wall of Being, and it is behind this wall of being that life for the family unfolds in complete privacy and tranquility.

Exquisite Weekend House: Sapota Plantation in Northern India
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
On the outskirts of Bharuch, Gujarat, the dense 50-year-old Sapota plantations held both the main attraction and the biggest challenge in the design of this weekend house for the Shah family. Set within 800,000 square feet of countryside, the plot features 30 adult Sapot trees, which the customers wanted to preserve in all their glory. External link: Dipen Gada Architects devised a plan to form a 15,000-square-foot house around the mature trees, making them the main feature of the imposing home. A central courtyard houses one of these majestic trees right in the heart of the home, while another climbs through a picturesque balcony.
The exterior of the modern house is a red masonry linear mass, with an imposing brick staircase leading up to the front entrance.
The modern facade has custom-made metal columns and beams that contrast sharply with the exposed red masonry. The north-facing front façade has an abundance of openings with large deck areas arranged in advance to allow the homeowners and their family to connect with the landscape.
One of the mature Sapota trees is integrated into the entrance porch, where it bursts up through the courtyard and continues through the upper balcony. The house was designed to ensure that minimal trees were damaged so that the original beauty of the plot would be preserved.
Glass walls create the look that the whole house is part of the exterior, just as the customers wanted. The huge glass panels can be pulled back to create a more real connection, and achieve airflow through the home. The kitchen is an unconventional layout with a dominant huge island. A small butler kitchen is located at the rear of the room, where major cooking can be completed out of sight.
A cantilevered canopy above the outdoor dining room serves as the main balcony for the first floor.
An outdoor bench rests on the front terrace, perfectly located to look at the beautiful view created by the resident Sapota there.
A huge recreation space is located on the ground floor, which continues into the main hall. The multifunctional area is attractively surrounded by a unique perforated screen that features a jungle landscape and animals inside the perforated metal panels. The doors were initially introduced to prevent unwanted animals from entering, but now form a main feature of the house.
The decorative metal doors can be fully pulled back so that the room becomes fused with the landscape.
A swing seat offers a relaxed reading room within the shaded lounge area, and introduces a pop of playful color.
The front entrance leads directly to the central courtyard design of the home, where another fabulous tree retains its territory.
The business background of the customers in industrial manufacturing is communicated through the metal structural system of the home. The steel makes a bold counteraction with the organic elements that speak of the customer’s passion for living in nature.
The canopy of the tree reaches the full height of the home, where it bursts into the blue sky.
Walking down the glass corridor between the central courtyard and the balcony sets you up between the treetops. A seat on the balcony looks too dreamy and inviting to resist.
The home theater is located upstairs on the first floor, to the left of the courtyard. The theater room is furnished with a U-shaped modular sofa and a second row at the back to accommodate many guests who can even sleep in a pinch. A Dali light control system is used to dim the lights in the room at the film, or guests can watch from the air terrace, which opens to the northeast.
An external staircase goes up towards the pool deck.
Up on the pool terrace, mature trees grow a protective embrace around the property.
Two bedrooms open directly to the pool.
Behind the central courtyard, there is an internal staircase and elevator. Made of 10 mm folded metal plates, the staircase rises to two open roof slits, which cause a magical play of light on a piece of ceramic art by artist Devesh Upadhyay, and a desi-painting in Kalamkari art.
The first bedroom that connects with the pool is the master bedroom. Radhika Kacha’s dark blue moon landscape makes for a fascinating bedroom wall decoration. Wicker jewelry complements the visual warmth of the exposed red masonry.
Simple and practical furniture was taken care of by DAAZ.
The guest room is decorated with fresh green accents that drape the platform bed and brighten up a gray bedroom chair. An opening to a balcony and a modern ceiling fan cools the concrete room. See more unique ceiling fans here.
The bathroom is also colored with green accents that complement nature’s own color palette.
The house design was developed with Vastu’s foundations firmly in mind.
The red house contrasts brightly with the natural greenery that rushes up to meet it.
Floor plan. The central courtyard serves as the arrival point on the upper floor, which connects with the front deck area above the front entrance. On this level, there is also a service pantry, and the large home cinema with its huge deck area on the east side.
Plan of the ground floor. The tree pricked grand entrance immediately establishes the union between the natural environment and the man-made structure that forms this unique home.

A Traditional Kerala Style House From The South Of India
Like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Traditional Kerala architecture is a famous style of South India, which is primarily based on the science of carpentry principles which are known as Thachu Shastra, and the science of architecture & construction known as Vastu Shastra. A central, airy courtyard is essential in a traditional Kerala home, and that is why a pond edge courtyard design creates the heart of this 2400 square foot residence in Palakkad. Designed by i2a Architects for Mr. Rajeev & family, this house was created with a fundamental concept ‘Idanazhi’, which in regional language means corridor. The light-filled hallway establishes easy flow through every open area of the home, keeping family members close and connected.
The most distinctive features of Kerala style architecture are monsoon-resistant roofs that take long and steep, simple circular, or square shapes, the gable windows, and tall pillars.
Local materials characterize both the exterior and interior of the home with a combination of wood, clay tile, and brick. The local materials achieve a harmonious balance with the surrounding landscape.
The front entrance accepts a traditional Padippur design, which consists of a covered entrance that leads directly into the main part of the house. This modern version of the Padippura concept also includes a heavy wooden front door for extra security and privacy around the front garden.
The Poomukham, or entrance porch, represents the first interior space of the house. It is located under a sloping clay tile roof, which is supported by cement pillars. Once upon a time, the head of the family would settle on the Poomukham in a reclining chair, equipped with a thuppal kolambi (spit).
Mature plants and abundant lawn grow a fresh green border around the red brick house.
Raw gray concrete contrasts sharply with the clay roofs and red masonry that build an interesting layered effect.
A concrete planter brings flowering of the greenery from the front garden to the outside entrance of the home, to create a welcoming entrance for guests and extended family. Exterior lights illuminate the path to the front door.
Once within the traditional Kerala Style architecture, a more modern atmosphere brings the interior to the realms of contemporary home design. Elegant round coffee table design combines natural wood grain with trendy matte black finished frame. A lined upholstered sofa and chair set sharp silhouettes. A cut white wall paint makes a fresh contradiction to interior exposed masonry feature walls.
Clay muxarabi screens allow natural daylight to filter into the main hallway that characterizes the home. Light play changes according to the position of the sun.
The essential central courtyard of this traditional Kerala style house is connected with a smaller courtyard design that comes out from under a modern staircase design.
A shrub grows in the center of the main courtyard, where it thrives under an open roof window. A kitchen window allows an appreciation of the courtyard view and the natural light here.
Narrow ponds run along each side of the yard design, providing habitat for aquatic plants to grow and adding to the relaxed atmosphere.
A wooden deck chair is set up on the tiled floor of the courtyard as a place for the homeowner to come and relax, reflect or converse with family members in the kitchen through the open kitchen window. Another clay musharabi screen climbs to the full height of the two-story courtyard design, where it filters out the strong sunlight, offers a cooling breeze and forms an interesting sculptural element.
From the courtyard, we move through the main hallway of the home into the open plan kitchen and dining room.
Exposed red masonry walls instill visual warmth into the dining room. The wooden dining table and dining chairs carry a complementary reddish hue. The kitchen is a modern gray, white and wooden layout, with a smooth peninsula that separates it from the neighboring dining room.
The same red wood finish builds a modern staircase design throughout the home. Metal railings exaggerate the contemporary aesthetic.
Open levers allow a picturesque view of the basement courtyard to look through on the ascent to the upper floor. Muxarabi clay accepts natural light on the stairs and the indoor plants.
Custom cabinets form an entrance table with storage where colorful decorative bowls and vases are displayed. Next to this, a higher unit serves as a vanity area for the homeowners and their guests to clean up after entering the home.
The bedrooms are large and spacious with airy high ceilings. A Moroccan quarter-bed and a matching desk inject elements of a warm wood tone into the simple white decorative scheme. Wooden bookshelves are stacked over the home workshop to provide practical storage. A small piece of bedroom wall decoration adds some color over a pair of luxurious gray accent pillows and a matching bed throw.
In the second bedroom, raw gray concrete decoration builds a more grumpy atmosphere. A wooden reading chair is located under a high window to form a quiet reading song. Wooden liter units fly the bed with a cohesive matching tone. Small indoor plants punctuate the dark bedroom decor with moments of edifying greenery and soft texture.
An open masonry around the perimeter wall of the home reveals glimpses of the architecture and garden that lie inside and allows the homeowners to look outside from the lawn and the downstairs windows.

A Traditional Kerala Style House From The South Of India
Single-Story Modern Rustic Home In India
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Dhrangadhra yellow stone and exposed concrete build this amazing single storey modern rustic home in Gujarat, Ahmadabad, India. Designed by Snehal Suthar and Bhadri Suthar of the gRID Architects, the 1100-square-foot home is a one-story apartment that was created as an intimate, modest weekend getaway. The comfortable interior design marks a connection between man-made and natural materials, with beautiful reclaimed wood, jute and rope, soft steel and entire walls of clear glass. A toned limestone floor created with Kotah slabs smooths easily on a paved terrace. These ground local materials plus local processing meant that the construction of the home had a reduced carbon footprint, which meant for the owner.
The Dhrangadhra yellow stone that was used for both the foundation and total construction of the home gives the property its name, the Rock House. The 1100-square-foot home is located on a 4776.3-square-foot site, which allows for the construction of a large terrace next to the property, where the couple can spend quality time together and entertaining friends.
The yellow stone construction gives the one-story home its warm, rustic charm. Terracotta planters are scattered around the vast paved terrace, creating many decorative interesting moments and opportunities for added greenery.
A mature palm is placed right in the center of the large courtyard. The natural surroundings remained largely undisturbed in the building of this environmentally sensitive home.
The holiday homeowners wanted to create a place that would link privacy with open spaces so that they could connect more with the outdoors. The architects responded to this report with a home design that was built around nature, rather than the embodiment of nature into the home.
The natural and raw materials of the modest home design harmonize with the indigenous environment. The architecture forms an H-shaped block that only very gently influences the indigenous landscapes.
The weekend home offers the owners a restful, nature-kissing experience that is fundamentally different from their routine living during the week. Large local mature trees provide shade from the sun along all roads. Instead of man-made walls, these trees also mark the boundary of the home.
The paved plinth raises the one-story house by two feet to provide a small vantage point over the green landscape. Plants and water bodies create an independent micro-ecosystem.
The program and planning minimized the built-in form to ensure continuous communion with nature.
The house was designed as a mere shelter for some essential daily activities, with the rest of weekend life expected to take place outside.
Local species of insect repellent plants keep the insects in the outdoor habitats.
Inside the home, the one-foot-thick stone walls remain a prominent project. The continuation of yellow stone solidifies the easy connection between the interior and exterior spaces and simply lacks cosmetic layers. Red pillows and red carpet add bright accents to a comfortable lounge area, while a modern dining set makes for a weather-resistant dining area.
Unique furniture fills the rustic interior with character heaps and interesting talking points.
Large glass walls keep connections with the abundant green surroundings at all times, even if hidden indoors.
The rustic bedroom is a wildly colorful retreat. More floor-to-ceiling glass extends the home’s connection with the gardens, absorbs natural light and shows the passing seasons.
Recovered wooden bedroom pendant lights are located above worthless floating bedside tables that allow the more decorative pieces in the room to shine.
Coordinating wooden hanging lights illuminate the walkways around the home.
Even while spending time indoors cooking food or dining under shelter, the wide glass doors can be retracted to create an open connection with the landscape. The installation of one wall kitchen is a raw wood design that complements the organic envelope of stone walls and tropical plants. Kotah limestone slabs fill the floor of the kitchen dining room and flow through the rest of the home. An exposed concrete ceiling adds a touch of raw industrial style.
Trees around the property provide shelter and food to local birds and small wildlife, encouraging biodiversity.
The architects avoided fragmentation of the landscape with composite walls so that the house would rely on natural boundaries created by vegetation for privacy.
The site plan illustrates how the established trees were preserved to achieve natural privacy. The floor plan shows how the architects created living spaces that are without pillars, to give unobstructed views of the landscape.
The left side elevation is solid stone, creating a rustic fortress to the outside world. Stone pillars intelligently mark the porch.
As we move to the rear elevation, we observe a stone and glass facade that connects the home interior to the natural surroundings.
More floor-to-ceiling glass breaks open up the right side height of the house.
In section A, we observe a small courtyard right next to the bathroom, which gives the room a private garden.
The main courtyard is a prominent feature in Section B, where it surrounds the dwelling. A second courtyard runs alongside the corridor.
Finally, section C arranges the dining room relative to the living room and marks the flow into the large paved backyard area, where most daily activities take place for the couple each weekend.

Desirable Duplex In India With Spacious Modern Interior
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
Humorous light and smooth toned decor traverse this desirable duplex apartment of 378 square meters located in India, Mumbai. Displayed by ArtPartner Architects, The Mumbai Oasis is a contemporary residence that is characterized by impressive high ceilings and elegant furniture arrangements. The homeowners wanted to create an interior that moved away from the usual design concepts produced in India, while at the same time taking care to comfortably accommodate a large number of family and friends. Large apartments merge into one open plan, twice as high a space, to create beautiful interior views from all directions. Outside, a large quiet terrace overlooks the green landscape through tufted edges and glittering cord lights.
As we enter the ground floor of this chic interior, we are met with an open plan that encompasses the living room, kitchen and dining room. A large and unusually shaped sectional sofa creates a clear zoning between the living room and the nearby neighboring kitchen facility.
A large area carpet defines the rest of the living area, forming a soft gray island on the smooth microcement.
A round coffee table sits firmly in the center of the living room furniture layout. The dark color of the coffee table is balanced by a black side table between the sections of the sofa.
Opposite the L-shaped sofa, a modern seating makes an ideal reading point at the window.
The lounge seat is directed to a wall mounted TV, creating a comfortable landing place for evening entertainment.
A striking linear pendant light pulls along the length of the kitchen island behind the couch, illuminating its attractive stone roof. A strip of LED light illuminates a compatible rear splash through the preparatory area behind.
Illuminated wall shelves form a focal wall of atmospheric light in the dining room, while a cluster of dining room hanging lights descend on the table from a great height.
Every aspect of the chic interior is furnished with elegant pieces, such as this amazingly modern lounge chair and polished extra side table. These two contemporary furniture combine with unique hanging lights to organize an isolated and attractive reading corner at the window.
LED perimeter lights create an atmospheric shore along the darkly decorated corridor. A frameless full-length mirror reflects light.
Moving into the private apartments, we enter a relaxed bedroom plan. Elegant bedroom pendant lights drop long lights with a modern wing bed design. Bedroom rugs were developed into a layered layout.
A luxurious material palette of white marble and wooden elements form a luxurious feel in the decoration of the bedroom. Marble panels lined the back of the bedside wall to create a beautiful backdrop for a floating vanity table.
The white marble bedroom decoration is complemented by Cloud White Serif QLED Smart TV.
Gold accents add a bright element to the bedroom that richly elevates the neutral surroundings.
More stunning white marble panels clad the entrance wall, where they are highlighted under white striped lights.
A floating overcoat is underlined to provide a bright storage area for shoes fired at the front door. A small puff provides a place to sit to put on shoes again.
