Residence 60

Residence 60 is located in Udaipur’s Navratna Complex, on a north-facing 30’x60′ plot. Designed as an independent two-level house, it is a collaborative success with the homeowner, who actively contributed to the home’s ambiance.

1. Design Approach:
   The home reflects client’s vision of light-filled spaces. It features a Country House style with a brick-clad façade and an angled car porch that adds drama by cutting through the brick design. The porch is topped with a terrace connected to the Master Bedroom.
2. Design Development:
   Upon entering through a large wooden arched door, guests step into a double-height Living Area painted in bright yellow tones that create the warmth of an Indian home. The design creatively balances light and shadow using narrow skylights in the pitched roof. This interplay of architecture and sunlight helps manage solar heat, while the north-facing façade prevents direct sunlight from overheating the space. The skylight slits in the tapered roof allow natural light to flow in, enhancing the airy atmosphere.
3. Light and Shadow:
   The skylights create a beautiful movement of light beams and shadows throughout the day, making the walls feel alive. This dynamic interplay of light is a signature element of the design. Skylights are also introduced in dark areas, inviting light and making the space brighter. The ground floor houses the Formal Drawing Room, Parent’s Room, and Living Spaces. On the upper level, there are three bedrooms and a cozy sit-out area that overlooks the living room below.

In the interiors, bright colors add warmth, while a wooden ceiling with mirror work hangs above the dining table. The furniture design follows a minimalistic approach, creating a clean and elegant look throughout the home.
