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.

The oakwood project is a design that emphasizes on the different finishes and tones of oak in different areas of the house. Once you enter the house you are welcomed with a connected living and dining area segregated by a wooden finished partition which has a significant presence yet doesn't block the visual connectivity between the spaces.
