BETWEEN TWO TREES - Main Exterior Architecture
BETWEEN TWO TREES — Bengaluru, India
CONCEPTUAL NARRATIVE

Conceived in intimate communion with two majestic centenary trees, the residence weaves contemporary brick jali facades and cantilevered timber volumes with a traditional four-pillared inner mandapa courtyard.

Preserving the site's two towering trees served as the guiding axis of the architectural layout. The house bends and cantilevers around their lush trunks, creating an earthen brick screen facade that dapples southern sunlight. Inside, a soaring double-height atrium shelters an authentic granite water court framed by hand-carved Chettinad timber pillars, connecting seamless ochre stone living zones to a contemporary gourmet kitchen.
