ARUN SELVAGANAPATHY RESIDENCE AT INJAMBAKKAM

A home is said to be composed of love, hope and dreams. Arun selvaganapathy's residence at Injambakkam stands true to this phrase.The client Mr.Arun Selvaganapathy previously based in U.S and his wife Gayathri Arun Selvaganapathy with their kids Lucky and Eshwar intend to live with their parents.

They wanted an exemplary house within the surrounding area. The spaces designed by our team amalgamated into the elevation that stood a strong statement to the overall structure standing merit to our team's goal of delivering a form that was futuristic and dynamic.The overall planning emphasized that it doesn't pose a danger to the existing vegetation. 

The foundation laid in the east corners were in accordance with the placement of trees in order to not disrupt the on-site vegetation.The huge setback space on the front is used as a multipurpose family space with integrated hardscape and softscape. The planning of the house encourages maximum connectivity with each and every space being interlinked with one another forming small pockets for gatherings at each floor level that is raised.The ground floor accommodates the family lounge, guest bedroom, kitchen and  mutram space near Amma's bedroom where the family can meet, interact and enjoy throughout the day.

The stairs from the Muttram then lead to the mezzanine floor that is designed as a viewing deck taking advantage of the stunning views of the pool and other areas of the house. The mezzanine then leads to the first floor that accommodates the home-office of the client, the master bedroom and bedroom of the kids. The personal office space separated from the master bedroom by a partition wall, apart from being his official arena, makes space for chit chats of the couple with levelled seating and flexible partition being provided. The bedrooms of the kids are provided with levelled seating that acts as their private getaway. The viewing deck area designed in between their bedrooms acts as a connecting element - a privatised space for them to interact. 

The visual transparency is introduced by double height spaces and a viewing deck that provides direct views to the pool and other areas of the house. By creating two distinct cubes that fabricate the sides of the residence, a strong statement of the solids amongst nature stood established. Over-all the residence was designed to reflect the client's character and alongside serve as an example of a structure that is avant-garde and affable.
