This 1400 sq.ft Compact Home in Bengaluru Has Ample Greenery (Home Tour).

The Nest House is located in a residential area of Bangalore with roads on two sides, north and west, making it a corner plot. A tree in the juncture of the corner led to the idea of a curvature to break the rigidity of the corner plot and create dynamism in the spaces inside.

A striking feature of the house is a double height courtyard on the east, nestled well within the curvature. This space is wrapped in steel fabrication that creates an interesting play light and shadow throughout the day.

The facade is a neat composition of cement finish, fabrication, and mud plaster. The use of local red soil to achieve this gives a reddish orange tinge adding warmth to the elevation. While the north side permits light and ventilation, the western side has minimum openings to protect the interiors from harsh western sunlight. Due to this, there are no fans or air conditioners installed on the first floor of the house.

An open floor plan, monotone colour palette, mud plastered walls, and ample greenery inside are some key highlights of the project. The architects walk through the house, giving an insight into various details and materials and how they designed this compact house without compromising on natural light and spatial comfort.

The best thing about this house is that the security of the house is not compromised by the design element, which most of architects are not considering these days. They put glasses everywhere. Security glasses can not provide you a level of security as much as concrete and iron/steel structures do.

I love these compact space projects, this shows the true talent of an architect. Thumbs up for the beautiful design.

[gamerwarzone]

Indians are the most artistic and creative people plz upload more and more of these compact space projects as i am my self a small design and property business owner with great love from Pakistan to all our Indian creative and beloved brothers

This is insanely functional and green and secure and wonderful. I’m at loss of words to express exactly how impressed zi am with the design . The infusion of greenery and car parking in a small plot is speechless. Loved it

[artel]

Excellent use of space, light, vegetation, & ventilation on a tight but secure plot.

[ujjwalrajput]

the work they guys have done is wonderful, like how they blend modernism with nature is excellent

[muralikasini]

Best thing to do when the plot size is small is, make a cellar in ground floor and have main floors in first and second.
It would be spacious. My personal experience. I didn't think it through.

Great job by great architect... fabulous design and utilise space 💯

1 thing that I've noticed is the video felt like its zoomed and more concentrated on external parts, it would be much better if they have shown internal part and you know more area of room in video as well. rest is beautiful, amazing work.

I feel one problem with steel structures is corrosion which would be accelerated due to the plants at various levels. While initially the project may look good it won’t age well while retaining the initial beauty unless lots of maintenance is carried out both on the structure and the garden .

Beautiful house. Love the greenery and the style quotient of the building and the feeling of openness. Structurally looks very nice and contemporary and stylish. However the interior of the house looks much to be desired especially the furniture. The bedroom wardrobe looks like a major let down. Looks like a completely different team did the woodwork and another team did everything else - there's no continuity.
Also the large cooking island becoming a dining area might help if you want to have a quick breakfast. But wouldn't be convenient when you are hosting guests or when the kitchen is cluttered. Looks self defeating in a way. The rest of the house especially the greenery is stand out amazing❤

[satishkumarsajjan]

The name on the house is written in kannada and it translates to love or affection.

[ashutosh.hridayse]

Very well utilised space, great job by the architects. 💕💕

[shabbirsethjiwala]

The house is beautiful and located in a city with minimal connection to nature. I find it fascinating how the architects have incorporated nature into the design. However, I have a question regarding the rainy season. I am curious to know how they have planned for it as it might affect the spaces in some way.

[prashanth_nayak]

This is splendid project. Kudus to the architects.

[anveshanankush]

This is a nice abode!!..kudos to the team!!...i am interested to know jow the passive cooling is so efficient that it negates a fan or AC?...The north - west orientation means loads of hot summer sun. Please do share if possible....thanks!
