A compact residence in Hyderabad, designed to balance privacy, openness, and everyday functionality within a tight footprint. Public spaces are placed on the ground floor, while upper levels accommodate bedrooms and private family areas. The second floor extends into a semi-open gym and sit-out, reinforcing an indoor–outdoor lifestyle. The architecture is defined by a simple, monolithic form with deep openings and recessed balconies that create shade, reduce heat gain, and integrate greenery into the built form. A restrained material palette—textured white stucco, natural stone, and warm interiors—emphasizes light, shadow, and proportion.
