ONGOING | Our city lives per square feet. A design generously inspired by the thirst for a contemporary youthful building, making life in our city a little more desirable?


Bangalore city is thirsty for space and greenery. Can an apartment contribute to this need?  We took this up as a challenge to create an apartment commune that will introduce a green environment and invite healthy living into a dense neighborhood. The design has been driven by creating spacious volumes together with compact and efficient planning, combining nature and light.

To the Future, by Japanese artist, Tetsuo Aoki

The design process started by asking ourselves a few questions, Can all six apartments enjoy good sunlight, and preferably the front view? Can openness rhyme with privacy? Compactness with spaciousness ? Can we create unique and unexpected volumes as a shift away from the apartment boxes we all know too well? Can we make apartment life desirable and playful?

What looks like a single building on the outside is infact a cluster of units, each revolving around the other in the search for light, spaciousness and privacy. Illustrated in different colours, apartment units; Rust, Olive, Ochre, Sage, Madder & Indigo are stacked in a way to ensure that everyone has access to the front facade and each have a vast double height space within.
