Nestled within a lakeside setting, Log Tavern Pond House draws inspiration from its mid-century neighbors—many of which reflect the Usonian principles pioneered by Frank Lloyd Wright. Echoing their long, low proportions, natural materials, and luminous interiors, the design establishes a strong dialogue with its architectural context.

It all began with a simple vision: a desire for a home that is in harmony with nature, where sunlight, breeze, and landscape become an integral part of daily life. Tucked away on the outskirts of Hosur, Tamil Nadu, this house sits within a flourishing forest, where previously barren land has become a home for many indigenous trees.
