HOUSE IN THE AIR - Main Exterior Architecture
HOUSE IN THE AIR — Bengaluru, India
CONCEPTUAL NARRATIVE

A gravity-defying urban residence distinguished by dramatic cantilevered timber canopies, continuous glass planter balconies, a freestanding glass prayer pavilion, and a sculptural helical staircase.

Conceived as 'House in the Air', the home elevates private living quarters above a secure stilt arrival zone with bold cantilevered volumes finished in warm teak cladding and crisp white stucco frames. Deep planter balconies provide a lush green buffer against the street while filtering tropical daylight into double-height interior spaces. Inside, an architectural journey unfolds around a central illuminated glass prayer sanctum, a sunlit living salon under a clerestory lantern, and an ethereal white steel spiral stair connecting upper galleries.
