Set on a 13,000 sq.ft. plot, the residence is conceived on the concept of ‘grounded luxury’, where scale and material simplicity take precedence over ornamentation. The architectural expression balances monumentality with restraint, resulting in a façade that feels both powerful and composed. Rooted in strict Vastu principles, the house is organized on a disciplined rectangular grid, which is reflected in the elevation through clear proportions, alignment, and a strong sense of order. Along with this idea of grounded luxury, the façade also responds carefully to its context. Located in Raigarh, Chhattisgarh where summer temperatures are extreme, the front elevation stretches over 100 feet along the east, making heat gain an important consideration. The façade therefore functions not only as an architectural expression, but also as a protective layer that moderates light and heat.
