Portico House takes its cues from two mature Jamun trees.
The trees divide the one-acre site into East and West courts. Shared spaces turn towards the East court, while private rooms face the quieter West court. Deep porticos soften the sun before it reaches the glass, keeping the canopy close without letting glare take over.
ALCOI AluFIT windows frame selected views. SkyLITE lift-and-slide openings extend the living spaces into shaded porticos. Together, they keep the house connected to the trees while preserving the calm within.
The trees remain close. The rooms stay calm.
