Minimalist Externally, Expansive Internally | House B

This house is a luxurious retreat in Alibag, designed for a family seeking a second home away from the hustle and bustle of Mumbai. With an organization that transcends traditional design norms, it provides a unique experience.

Its discreet facade projects a minimalist exterior, ensuring privacy while featuring a series of continuous spaces within. This integrated space was created with forms that expand horizontally, adapt to the local climate, and reflect the family’s lifestyle preferences.

Its design elements, such as pergolas and water features, add a touch of natural elegance to the environment. Additionally, the transparency of internal and external spaces creates a sense of openness and connection with the surrounding nature.

    The challenge to create a living space while using every available inch and maintaining privacy, while communicating with the residents who are design enthusiasts was completed with 2 modern villas, each with its own connection to the outside and with a unique and fashionable living space in the dense urban surrounding.
