A renovation project inclined towards increasing the current area by 3000 sqft, to a facelift for the house. located in Nellore, a port city in Andhra Pradesh.

The design concept was to modernize the architecture as well as interiors keeping in mind sustainability and passive design while considering the hot and humid temperature of Nellore. Narrow windows with the large opening over north and the white paint around the house help to control heat gain while playing with shadows. Contrasting the built-up mini garden plays the role of reducing the heat island effect.

Providing a contrast through façade, by including sliding foldable aluminium fins extending till terrace to maintain privacy and contain the view. While Vastu played an important role in zoning, planning and redefining the entire house, grandparents master bedroom fell in the south-west direction over the ground floor along with formal living, kitchen and dining.

Along with informal sitting area, the first floor resides the bedroom of son, daughter and guests. The gym, a home theatre to serve parties falls under the second floor. Hence each floor holds different functions and meaning over the section.

Centre chandelier is adding drama to space.

SON’S BEDROOM 

Walls, floor and bed painted in shades of grey define a union. Being the major size room of the house, zoning was parted in three functions (bathroom with dresser, bed area, study area).

OFFICE

The client being jewellery manufacture required the office with two separate entries divided into two levels for the staff members.

MULTIPURPOSE FLOOR

A multifunctional space which holds space for a family get together along with the gym and entertaining people through home theatre. A space of all is the design vision with a blend of dim and bright lighting serving a different purpose.
