Location
Pashan, Pune
Situated in the heart of Pashan, Pune, an expansive 5000 sq. ft residence is perched above a thriving commercial space. Designed to correspond to its natural surroundings, the emphasis was to create open, airy spaces framing the lush greenery and enchanting hills that envelop it.
The communal spaces (living room, family room, and kitchen) have been reconfigured to open up onto a generously proportioned terrace that serves as the central hub of the apartment, enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection.
Embracing the essence of a modern rustic family home, the residence incorporates micro-concrete and marble, natural veneers, and handwoven Indian fabrics. An emphasis on well-worn and rustic materials ensures a lived-in coziness that the architects were going for, while an element of understated medieval charm keeps this home firmly in the 21st century.
