This 3,500 sq. ft. residence, nestled near Guruvayoor, unfolds as an aspirational haven for a family settled in Dubai. With a distinctive interplay of volumes and the illusion of a floating roof, the design places paramount importance on preserving an existing Mango tree—a specific request from the clients that anchors the planning. The family, comprising two young kids, expressed an unwavering desire for a luxurious retreat during their vacations, with a primary focus on cultivating comfortable interiors. 

Positioned between neighbouring houses on the northern and southern sides, the plot seamlessly connects to nature on the shorter dimensions. The constraints of a narrow plot prompted a vertical residential planning approach, unlocking the potential for a premium lifestyle within the confines of vertical interior volumes. To counter unpleasant views along the longer sides, the ground floor's core family areas were interspersed with internal courtyards in every grid. On the first floor, the bedrooms on the southern side is provided with a blank wall to block the sun. Instead, large balconies open to extensive greenery on the short Eastern and Western sides, fostering a harmonious connection with nature.

Introducing the added layer of Vastu principles presented a captivating challenge, necessitating a delicate fusion of modernity with the ancient wisdom of Vastu. The master bedroom on the ground floor was elevated by 60 cm as per Vastu, resulting in an impressive floor height of 3.75 meters. Leveraging this increased volume, combined with generously proportioned rooms and extensive openings on all sides, the Ground Floor interiors exude a palpable sense of space and openness, heightened by the seamless flow of natural light. The central axis of the house is ventilated on both ends by a Jali and the louvered window is a response to Vastu principles.

While the interior color scheme in the public and semi-public areas followed a neutral palette with warm undertones; in the bedrooms, the client's requests take center stage, resulting in a collection of unique interior color themes that reflect the individuality and preferences of each occupant. The attached bathrooms are a reflection of the color palette followed in the bedrooms. The integration of Vastu principles in the layout of bedrooms and bathroom fixtures while challenging also brought out interesting results. 

In essence, this well-rounded residence not only addresses the clients' desire for a premium lifestyle but also stands as a harmonious integration of modern design, Vastu principles, and individualized character, creating a dwelling that is both aspirational and deeply personal.
