This residential project gets its name ‘The Stacked Abode’ through its vertically imposed and staggered volumes. The house is envisaged as a large monolith with staggered masses that prop out at different levels and dictate the contemporary outlook of the house, which is further translated to the interior spaces through its subtle yet elegant material palette.

The two primary aspects that drive the spatial planning of the house are the park abutting the site as well as the central courtyard that creates a sculptural element that pins the spaces around it. The court demarcates the North- South axis and in turn creates the buffer spaces along this axis on each floor which shape up to be the common/family areas.

This abode is prefaced by a voguish foyer space. The small yet predominant space of the home is adorned by mellow greys that lay low as the bold brass tones stand out. The Buddha figurine and the chic planter add warmth to the space.

This space was conceptualized around the client’s daily routine of morning coffee, hence it rightfully overlooks the lush green park. The bright morning light brings out the clean lines and enhances this frame on the whole. The lofty fiddle fig anchors the space as the deck inherits its sense of depth from the wooden texture.

This frame of the home comes together with simple forms that are complemented with subtle neutral tones. The marble used has a unique persona that brings out the character of the space while it weaves together the different mood boards of the home together. The circular forms of the lighting fixture, the accent mirror as well as the vase add a fresh quirk to the rectilinear forms of the space.

In accordance with the contemporary design of the home, a modular kitchen was chosen for the interiors. The bright light spills into the kitchen which has a simple color palette of greys, and in turn brings out the sophistication of the modern kitchen.

The informal living area acts as an archetypal backdrop against which all activities of the family unravel. The neutral tones lead by plain sailing forms and textures sing a harmony of contemporary. The North light elegantly bathes this space adding emphasis to minute details of the design.
