The Multi-Family Villa

A home steeped in tradition, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, this villa is designed for a large, close-knit family where architecture becomes a quiet backdrop for togetherness. The house unfolds over multiple levels, with a stilt floor dedicated to parking, rising into a sequence of formal and informal living spaces that balance occasion with everyday comfort. On the same level, lies a generously proportioned dining space, conceived to bring the entire family together.

While fourteen ensuite bedrooms are thoughtfully distributed across the upper floors, ensure privacy without isolation. Expansive corridors are treated not merely as circulation but as lived-in gathering spaces—places to pause, converse, and connect—reinforcing the social fabric of the home. Crafted staircases, decks, and terraces punctuate the journey through the house, offering moments of openness and visual relief.

Tradition is woven subtly into the architecture through materiality and detail rather than overt motifs. Kota stone floors paired with inlaid white marble create carpet-like patterns, lending quiet elegance to everyday spaces. A nuanced palette of wood and stone introduces warmth and a sense of ‘Indianness’, carefully calibrated to feel rooted yet contemporary—familiar without being overtly traditional.

The result is a home that honours legacy while embracing modern living: layered, generous, and deeply connected to the rituals of family life.
