The idea for the interior was born during the designer’s very first visit to the residential complex where the house is located. Inspired by the clean, modern architecture and the surprisingly calm atmosphere — like a small oasis among the concrete jungle of the city — she envisioned an interior that would naturally extend that feeling indoors.

Tucked into the dense urban fabric of Koregaon in Satara, the H-House is a 2850 sq.ft. residence crafted on a constrained 33’ x 78’ site. The linear proportions of the site drove the architectural response, culminating in a plan organized around three longitudinal lines that run parallel across the site.

Building a home that stands up to storms while trimming energy bills requires a mix of strong materials, thoughtful design, and strategic upgrades.
The design brief called for a private pool villa for a single family, located on a 660-square-meter urban plot. The homeowners desired a residence that felt airy and open while maintaining a high degree of privacy across all functions.
