Aanandam Is a Penthouse for Holistic Wellness in Gurugram

ByMyProperty Life

In the bustling core of Gurugram, India, a tranquil escape comes to life – Aanandam, a 4,800-square-foot penthouse reimagined by Logic Design + Build, transcends the conventions of metropolitan living. Conceived as a sanctuary for holistic wellness, this space reflects a thoughtful evolution into a modern villa-like haven, rooted in mindfulness, individual identity, and understated grandeur.

At the intersection of architectural rigor and sensory refinement, Aanandam navigates the fine line between the raw and the refined. Here, elements of urban boldness – exposed concrete, linear forms, and open structural expanses – are carefully softened with tactile natural finishes and curated warmth. Every room has been developed with the resident’s lifestyle in mind, turning everyday routines into intimate experiences through a deeply customized approach.

Central to the project’s brutalist design language is the celebration of light as more than mere illumination. It shapes moods, sculpts materials, and sets the tone for each zone within the home. Broad apertures, thoughtful spatial orientation, and strategic reflections allow sunlight to become an active participant in the design, revealing textures, enhancing volumes, and offering moments of pause throughout the day.

Beyond aesthetics, Aanandam presents a fresh narrative in wellness-centric urban design. By reinterpreting spatial planning, the designers have fostered an atmosphere of openness, fluidity, and stillness. Nature subtly weaves through the apartment – be it through organic textures, curated greenery, or the earthy hues that ground the interiors. A biophilic focal point boldly climbs up the double-height living room in the form of a living wall housing a variety of green plants. Adding to the grandeur of the wall is an arched accent of three-dimensional wood panels displaying the familiar arch shape oriented in different directions. The result is a living environment that encourages emotional equilibrium, mindfulness, and rejuvenation.

Craftsmanship plays a pivotal role in establishing the project’s bespoke character. Every element, from hand-selected stone surfaces to tailor-made furnishings, embodies a commitment to authenticity and quality. The contrast between raw materials like lime plaster and exposed brick, and the sophistication of marble, brass, and glass, adds visual depth while preserving a cohesive tone of relaxed luxury.

Opposite the garden wall is another visually compelling element that connects the two floors of the penthouse. The stunning staircase comprises floating brass treads, uniquely shaped as parallelograms, flanked on one side with black and white marble and panels of glass on the front side as not to block the beauty of the stairs behind it. A tube of brass cascades from the ceiling to form a minimalist handrail to complete the look.

    Designed for a young couple, the 5,000 sf home and 1,700 sf back house sit on a flat 21,000 sf lot in a 1920’s Palo Alto neighborhood (a few blocks away from Steve Jobs’ residence). The architecture is a study in strong simple composition and is museum-like with its highly refined materiality and emphasis on craft. The massing defines solid and void, captures natural light, and connects the indoors with the landscape, seeking to ‘experience the outdoors from within.’ The ground floor volumes wrapped in an elongated hand-fired brick from Denmark, emphasizing the horizontality of the architecture that lays solidly on the land. Bronze-trimmed ceiling planes slide between the brick masses, and floor-to-ceiling glazed openings are captured by thin-profiled bronze frames. In contrast to the grounded brick volumes, the second floor is clad in stainless steel panels and oversized aluminum-framed windows. The lightness and openness of the second floor is nestled among the oak-tree canopies of the site. At the basement level, a wine cellar and tasting room open to a sunken landscaped courtyard. A 30ft by 10ft continuous pane of glass runs alongside the grand stairwell of floating stone steps, connecting the three levels of the house. Due to the unprecedented size of this glass in residential design, it was custom manufactured in Germany and shipped to California. This dramatic moment in the sequence of progressing through the house helps visitors feel connected to the lush landscape outside. Inside the house, materials such as a custom leather door and bronze anodized details were selected for their unique craftsman-style quality. Another custom-designed element is the steel mesh screen that wraps around to enclose the kitchen for privacy, separating this from the more public “guest hosting” areas adjacent. The steel screen slides along a track embedded into the teak slatted ceiling and disappears into the pantry when retracted. A freestanding structure set deep back into the site is a zen-like fitness/yoga studio as well as a guesthouse with a kitchenette. This dramatic stone mass opens up completely in the center to give the impression of exercising outdoors. The landscape integrates California native plant species, grasses and trees to compliment the materiality of the architecture.
