‘Flow’ could be the word that defines the residence. This Individual villa is a piece of beauty, with every aspect of the home flowing perfectly into the next. The ‘Flow’ of the facade is accomplished by employing stone laminates with carved-out patterns. To ensure cohesion, the same pattern is repeated on the gate and compound wall. The array of textures on the façade makes it stand out in the vicinity.
Situated on a combined parcel of 3 plots of land – with a site area of 6000 square feet, the Client’s requirement was a large family home for 5 people. The preference was for large common interactive spaces such as large living rooms and courtyards and Terrace garden. Spatial planning was carefully done to ensure natural light and ventilation throughout the building.
Neutral colours were retained throughout the building – Italian marble floors, beige coloured walls and use of complementary teak wood texture on doors and windows. The addition of 2 large inward looking courtyard spaces was done to provide natural light and privacy
Ventilation is seen as an important planning consideration in order to combat the city’s heat. Sit-outs throughout the house, balconies and terraces at the front and rear, and big open windows in all rooms provide natural ventilation to cool the space. The home is designed with sit-outs on either side of the main area. The sit-outs are outfitted with sophisticated metallic grills on the perimeter walls for safety without sacrificing style.
Doors and panels with perforations are made to let in some natural light and to create a calming, celestial ambiance through their design. The prayer room then opens up to a sit-out space beneath a metal roof that provides direct access to the skies. The area is zoned so that it is separate from other areas of the house and has its own significance.
Conscious planning is used to maximize the available space. For example, a little pocket of space is projected from the living room into one of the sit-outs. This place is best used as a morning coffee spot for residents while also serving as a transition zone. In terms of belonging, both floors’ central living rooms serve as a bridge between diverse locations. The complex staircase expands to create a double-height atrium that connects the living rooms. All amenities for the five-bedroom villa are located on the ground level, and there are separate external access doors for maintenance..
The residence’s prayer room is designed to be between two floors in height. It opens from the mid-landing of the staircase, forming the roof of the front sit-out and so maintaining the façade design. The prayer room’s Corian doors are perforated, allowing sunlight to enter into the building in the form of an inverted raindrop. Doors open from either side of the prayer room to a balcony and a front terrace, contributing to the prayer room’s serene and peaceful atmosphere.

SECTION THROUGH THE COURTYARD
The living rooms on the ground and first floors has a direct view of the sit-out area, allowing plenty of light and air into the space. The larger courtyard and a sitting area are positioned so that a stack effect is achieved. The hot air departs through the sit out along the warmer zone, generating a vacuum that draws fresh and cold air into the space through the courtyard. According to a well-known adage, flawless flow in function and design is essential for efficient design.
