FAR SITE HOUSE - Main Exterior Architecture
FAR SITE HOUSE — Bengaluru, India
CONCEPTUAL NARRATIVE

A striking multi-tier biophilic residence articulated with rich wire-cut terracotta brick cladding, intricate geometric jali screens, cantilevered exposed-aggregate balconies, and an expansive sky garden.

Featured on Buildofy, Far Site represents an inventive urban response to tight site constraints and climatic performance. Deep cantilevered balconies finished in textural grey aggregate contrast vividly against warm wire-cut terracotta brick tilework. Perforated terracotta jali screens provide thermal comfort and privacy while casting kinetic shadow geometric patterns throughout interior living spaces. The internal circulation culminates in a cast concrete open-riser stair and a lushly landscaped rooftop terrace under a dramatic floating canopy slab.
