Utsav is a striking embodiment of a mixed bag of distinctive identities that coalesce to form a unique space. It is flamboyant, yet quiet and elegant. The semi luxury villa taps into an exemplary spatial experience. One that breathes life into the vision of a ‘perfect home’ for the family of doctors while redefining the paradigms of contemporary design with a rooted identity. The layout is about interconnected spaces and volumes. Internally all the spaces are free flowing within one another. Earthy and warm tones with rustic finish juxtaposed over the exterior create an astounding and dramatically welcoming façade. The use of mild steel for rafters creates an enjoyable play of light and shadow while protecting the home from harsh daylight and providing path for the breeze to flow.
Glimpse of it..!
The meticulously crafted spaces, adorned with flora and designed to embrace natural wind flow, create a welcoming atmosphere that immediately soothes the mind and invigorates the senses. Bold bursts of print and lighting in areas like the lounge, accented with honeydew green and beige upholstery, provide a vibrant contrast against the serene backdrop. The alfresco sit-out, with its quaint patio furniture, offers a picturesque retreat within the home.
From the moment one enters through the textured granite flooring, adorned with visually appealing plant nooks, the attention to detail is evident. The interplay of colors and textures guides the eye seamlessly through the connecting paths, while the use of travertine stone and timber softens the palette, creating a warm and inviting ambiance.
Throughout the residence, a focus on interconnected spaces and volumes fosters a sense of unity and harmony. The strategic placement of living areas to maximize daylight and minimize heat gain demonstrates a thoughtful approach to sustainable design. The use of mild steel rafters not only adds visual interest but also serves a practical purpose in climate control, allowing for a comfortable living environment year-round.
Multi-use congregational spaces encourage social interaction and create opportunities for shared experiences. Thoughtful design elements, such as fluted glass doors and partitions, add a sense of lightness and fluidity to the space, while handcrafted details and locally sourced artwork lend a personalized touch to each room.
From the master bedroom with its jaali patterned terrace to the triple-height vestibule adorned with handcrafted feature walls, every aspect of the residence reflects a meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to creating a harmonious living environment. By incorporating sustainable practices and reusing materials, the architects have minimized the project's environmental impact without compromising on luxury or comfort.
In essence, this semi-luxury villa is more than just a home—it is a sanctuary where form meets function, and where modern elegance coexists seamlessly with natural beauty. It is a testament to the architects' skill and creativity, and a testament to the power of thoughtful design to enrich the lives of its inhabitants.
