Client Brief: The client wanted Thanveer Residence to be a home where landscape and openness take center stage. Therefore, the ground floor is mostly greenery, so residents can walk freely and connect with nature. In addition, a small office is included for work. Meanwhile, the living spaces are designed to feel luxurious, yet warm, cozy, and inviting.
Design Challenge: The 30’ x 82’ linear plot posed a major challenge. Since walls are close on both sides, there is very little space to work with. To solve this, the team focused on maximizing open areas. Moreover, they ensured privacy and luxury by layering spaces carefully. As a result, the rooms are arranged smartly along the narrow frontage.
Design Process: The team divided the site into open pockets, allowing light and wind to flow naturally. Furthermore, materials were chosen to blend with both the landscape and the built surroundings. One key idea was a grand staircase at road level, which welcomes visitors and guides them to the first floor. In addition, this staircase creates a sense of drama while connecting different levels.
Progress: The structural design is nearly complete. Next, the team will focus on interiors, where each space will be planned for comfort and style. Additionally, furniture, lighting, and materials will be selected carefully to match the openness and elegance of the overall home. Consequently, the interiors will feel cohesive with the architecture.
