Like a rocky cave, its darker colour palettes and ambient lighting soothe the eyes. If bedrooms are the places of rest, the washrooms are the true spaces of private indulgence, where one can retreat and wind down. Moreover, Vastu Shastra compliance adds to the spiritual vibes of the house. The sound of running water, the natural stone finishes, the tranquil views of landscapes greens, the sculptural birds - all ameliorate the experience of the waterfall house. The experience of walking through these spaces is akin to retreating from the outside world into your own sanctum sanctorum. It makes for an exciting feature for children, adults and guests alike.Ī gradual hierarchy from public to semi-public to private spaces is felt through the house. An example of this is the ‘Magic Mirror’ in the bathroom that doubles as a television. The needs of a modern lifestyle are met luxuriously through the modern features and technology infused into the functioning of the house. The tranquillity however does not come with the assumption of austerity. The play of light by a faceted mirror sculpture on the ceiling of the staircase enhances this illusion while evoking a feeling of transcendence as one ascends to the upper level.

Further, the informal TV lounge separates as well as unites the 2 bedrooms on the ground floor. By clever placement of an elevator and the staircase, the architects subtly segregate the formal and informal areas of the house, while maintaining an open floor plan. Adjoining it are a shoe change area and the powder room, acting as filters, trapping dust and dirt from entering the meditative space. The formal drawing room flanks the entrance. The informal entry frames a view of a landscaped court just as one enters, blurring lines of separation between indoor and outdoor.
