Residence - Biome


Urban Getaway for Priya and Shri at Bangalore







Sarjapur Road! Right behind the hussle bussle, is this space created for Priya and Shrikrish. There was an existing house which was built with mud blocks long back. We rennovated the old portion and also added a new wing to the front, in stone and mud, to meet the new space requirements. The old and the new joined through a "Mitham" and a puja room connecting them.

Very enthusiactic and involving in the process, Priya documented the whole process of transformation! There was a huge unused and abused Well right in the front as you see in pictures here. That point became our foucs and we gave it the prime position as the welcome path into the house, through a bridge, apart from using it for ground water recharge which came as sump overflow. The doors and windows are from the old dismantled mansions which now provide views into the whole new setup around them.
