Modern luxurious house with neat concrete architecture, surrounded by abundance of tropical gardens and trees, highlighting innovative design and sustainable landscape architecture

Antarya House is a holiday home for a multipurpose family, located near Hyderabad. Situated on a long and narrow plot in a quiet suburban village, the house combines family dynamics, landscape, climate, and memories into an integrated architecture. Instead of effect, the architecture aims for quiet depth—deep overhangs, texturized stone walls, calm water features, and balanced thresholds that balance openness and privacy. The result is a carefully woven thread of regional modernism, where contemporary spatial logic dialogues with folk strategies and materials.

Site Strategy and Sequence of Entry

The approach is gradual and concealed. The curved road softens the scale of the plot and delays full revelation until arrival. Low walls that don’t block views, and perspectives through openings create anticipation. A powerful pipal tree strengthens the entrance zone, creating a gathering space under its canopy before entering the house.

The house is located at the rear of the plot, allowing lawns and courtyards to create visual and thermal protection. The surrounding water feature frames the base—cooling the air, repelling pests, and creating a reflecting pool that softens the transition between ground and structure.

Spatial Composition and Architecture

The house is organized using three linear stone walls, which define direction, privacy, and connection. Inside these axes, the layout extends through corridors and verandas. A slab canopy (8–10 feet) protects glazing from intense heat while providing light shafts above. Overall heights of 15 feet and an intermediate slab at 10 feet create a multi-layered spatial experience. Living, dining, and verandas merge into each other under a continuous roof; sliding glass panels break down the boundaries with the landscape. Most bedrooms are on the first level, while one bedroom on the upper floor offers a panoramic view of the gardens.

Materials and Sensory Expression

A restrained palette adds clarity and tactility: neutral lime unifies mass; Hammam stone forms three defining walls with color and weight; Markapur slate covers floors inside and outside; reclaimed teak wood, live edge timber, jute, and teak furniture add warmth and memory; and black metal frames provide crisp graphic edges. Layers root the house in the region, ensuring flexibility, barefoot walking, and understated elegance.

Climate and Efficiency

Passive strategies are quiet but effective. Deep overhangs and light shafts reduce solar exposure; layered openings orchestrate airflow; the surrounding water feature cools air and regulates microclimate around the base. A long roof filters rain and sun, while seasonal vines provide additional shade. Durable and low-maintenance materials—stone, slate, teak wood, and lime—favor passive sustainability over mechanical systems.

Atmosphere of Life and Emotional Depth

Movement is deliberately varied—shaded verandas, courtyards, internal voids, and framed axes create a reflective stroll. Water reflects ceiling and sky, drawing light inside. During the day spaces open to gardens for talking, resting, dining, and playing; at night soft lighting reveals the stone structure and silhouette of the building, balancing presence with silence.
