Nestled in the lush greenery of South Bangalore resides the one-bedroom weekend home for a family of three. One is immediately greeted by the large foliage of the jackfruit and mango trees, where the rectangular dwelling sits along the East-West axis.
The architecture of The Cabin House draws inspiration from simple forms and native bearings. The interior of the rectangular volume is broken effortlessly into a double-height living, dining and kitchen with a mezzanine floor on one end to accommodate the master bedroom. Earthy tones throughout the dwelling evoke the setting sun, whilst the starkness of the cement and warm tones of the furniture offers the required depth. Below the mezzanine is the washroom that features a cast in-situ island-concrete basin overlooking the landscape and a full-sized walk-in closet. The landscape around is sculpted to imbibe nature into the dwelling; it also features a large gazebo that keeps in mind the client’s requirement to conduct small gatherings.
The remarkable combination of neutrals breaks even with lustrous terracotta that weaves throughout the entire dwelling. The hierarchy of spaces sensitively addresses privacy through variations in levels and soft barriers of the landscape. Harnessed by a desire to live amidst nature, The Cabin House redefines spaces of dialogue and a dwelling place. While being dictated by the existing order of things – the two trees – the placement of the dwelling consciously strives to blur the lines between nature and the built.
