"The Urban Oasis" Residence @ Tambaram Client - Chandrashekar

ABOUT
THE PROJECT

Project Type:

This contemporary residence was designed to showcase a strong horizontal datum established by the compound wall and the overarching roofline, creating a sense of groundedness. The material palette is thoughtfully composed, featuring exposed brickwork that adds warmth and texture, contrasting beautifully with the smooth, lighter-toned plastered surfaces. This juxtaposition of materials defines distinct volumes and adds visual interest.
The facade is articulated with clean lines and geometric forms. Strategic fenestration, to create a balance between natural light ingress and privacy. The design integrates lush greenery, both at the street level and on the upper terrace, softening the architectural edges and enhancing the building's connection with nature. Planter boxes are incorporated into the compound wall, further blurring the lines between built and natural environments.
A prominent feature is the terrace space on the upper level, offering an outdoor extension to the interior living areas. The white louvered screens provide both aesthetic appeal and practical shading/privacy. The design presents a harmonious blend of functionality, modern aesthetics, and a subtle nod to biophilic design principles.

Brief - The brief envisions a modern yet warm family home for a small family. They desire a residence that balances open, bright living spaces with private sanctuaries, emphasizing natural light and ventilation. Outdoor connection is important, with a desire for a private garden space and a welcoming entrance.
