The gathering curve

Verdant crescent

From the very beginning, the couple knew what their home would be — no bling or performative luxury. Instead, three generous floors holding light and encouraging movement. The exterior with landscaping by Make My Garden folds into a C-shaped inner courtyard. This open garden becomes the home’s anchor, visible from every level, “a private oasis that keeps the spaces open and connected, no matter how the surroundings evolve,” says Aatira and Bhyrav. 

Inside, the furniture and lighting have been chosen for longevity — a judicious curation of pieces that age gracefully. Practical zones like the wet kitchen, laundry and househelp facilities sit quietly out of sight, giving the living spaces a serene look. The home runs on solar power too, the couple’s quiet belief that a house should care for the world it stands in. After all, isn’t true luxury the ability to give back to Gaia while living well?

A soiree storey

On the ground floor, the home opens like a soft breath. The foyer and living spaces slip into one another, merging with the dining area, kitchen, and guest suite that open outwards — as if the architecture itself inhales the garden and exhales calm.

It is a floor where conversations linger and sunlight slips through the leaves and rests on tabletops.

Ligneous accents

A staircase of wooden risers and grey marble treads rises to the first floor— known as The Bridge. And quite literally so. Here, three bedrooms with walk-ins and attached baths with innovative windows open to a home office, a balcony, and the bridge passageway that frames the courtyard from above, almost like a private gallery where the landscape becomes the art.

The exuberant arch

For a couple who finds joy in a full house, the second floor becomes their stage for togetherness. Unfolding into a celebratory pause above the quieter floors, this floor is packed with an entertainment room crowned with a vaulted ceiling, a soft glowing bar with a breezy terrace, a home gym, and a yoga deck that listens to the first light of day. As Aatira and Bhyrav beautifully put it, “Designing the entertainment floor is pure joy — a vaulted, light-filled space that can shift effortlessly from a spirited football night to a quiet morning on the yoga deck. It’s where openness meets intimacy, a place that draws people in without overwhelming the rest of the home.”

Hall of frames

Connection, however, is whispered most softly through the windows on the first floor — three bedrooms that seem to speak to one another through dedicated openings of light. The master bedroom holds a circular window cleaved along its centre axis, rotating open or closed like a turning moon. The daughter’s bedroom invites in daylight through a checkered window, scattering sunbeams across her floor. And the grandmother’s room lives up to its tenderness: a tall, vertical window that becomes her seat of observation.

Teak it or leave it

The palette remains intentionally calm with white walls that embrace the sunlight, oxide and wooden finishes that ground the spaces and warm sandstone accents. With polished teak doors and windows, the interiors glow softly at dusk, filtering daylight into a gentle, lantern-like haze. As the designers note “We wanted the heart of the home — the central garden and its surrounding spaces — to be bathed in natural light and greenery regardless of what rose around it,” a belief that now quietly anchors every room. But what truly makes House K an impeccable example of design is the amalgamation of unconventional ideas and giving ample time to the designers who helped bring their visions to life.
