THE MANTLE - Main Exterior Architecture
THE MANTLE — Banashankari, Bengaluru
CONCEPTUAL NARRATIVE

The Mantle is an introspective residential retreat articulated around a central light court, raw textured concrete, teakwood louvers, floating steel staircases, and luminous double-height volumes.

Set in a dense Bengaluru neighborhood, this north-facing home uses split levels, a central courtyard and skylit stairway to bring light, greenery and privacy into the family’s daily life. The plan includes shared living spaces, four bedrooms, a home office, theatre and an entertainment terrace with a bar. Muted grey, teak and ochre interiors, marble flooring, raw concrete and courtyard planting create a calm, warm connection to nature.
