The balcony as outdoor room, framed in timber with the master bedroom balcony cantilevered above it. Sandstone cladding runs along the façade, catching light and shadow through the day. This is where the house meets the street on its own terms; open enough to engage, sheltered enough to withdraw. The lower balcony for gathering with friends. The upper balcony, a private perch. One façade, two ways of being.

The formal living room is for entertaining, structured and deliberate. This is its counterpoint. The informal family room looks out onto the balcony, and the balcony becomes an extension of the room. Friends spill out. Conversations drift. The swing faces the light. A handcrafted teak floor lamp from .gentle.light holds its corner with quiet presence.

This is where the house lives its daily life. The dining room and kitchen are just here, within reach. Everything flows. Everything connects. Two modes of gathering, two poles of living. Formal and informal, staged and unguarded, under one roof.

Half a level below the formal living room, the entertainment zone opens onto the courtyard. The walls are finished in concrete overlay, a deliberate echo of the massive retaining wall holding back the earth at the rear of the site. Inside and outside, speaking the same language. Inbuilt seating, which also contains storage, performs double duty as steps leading up to the courtyard.

There are balconies one merely steps out onto. And then there are those one steps into; rooms without walls, open to the air but held at a comfortable distance from the street. This one is lined in timber and floored in patterned cement tiles from , their geometry a quiet counterpoint to the greenery that screens the western sun. The light filters through, dappled and diffuse. A place to inhabit, not merely to look from.

The formal living room turns its back on the street. This is where one enters the house, stepping into a space that faces inward, toward the rear courtyard, the raw concrete wall and the vines climbing up from below. The street-facing balconies are for engagement. This space is for retreat. Two dispositions, under one roof.

First look at our latest project in Bengaluru. The master bedroom balcony cantilevers over the timber lined balcony below a street-facing composition that hints at the dualities within. More to come.

Meeting Mr. Liu Jiakun (Pritzker Laureate 2025) at his office @ Chengdu, China was a true honour. We’re deeply grateful for the warmth he extended to us and for the generosity of his time, those unhurried moments of conversation made the experience all the more meaningful. Thank you so much once again 🙏 .t.s

Three years. Countless drawings, calls, site visits, decisions and a home that now holds all of it.
Sri Ranga Nele wasn’t just a project. It became a relationship, layered slowly with trust, patience and shared belief.

Grateful to Yadu & Akila for trusting us with your dream and for hosting such a wonderful celebration for the entire team. Moments like that remind us why we build.
