We have also uploaded detailed videos of these two houses on YouTube, which you can refer to.
At the entrance, a very inviting double-height porch forms a large mass of void; and in the first-floor level the projecting dressing room of the front bedroom compensates for this void space, thus the house is called “House of voids”.
The Foyer at the entrance provides necessary privacy and helps entertain visitors without having to let them into the private areas of the house.
The living cum dining area has been separated with a central partition which makes this entire area feel more spacious.
There are two courtyards placed strategically in this house to allow nature flow inside.
A long Courtyard running along one side of the house on the ground floor provides views to living and dining areas and increases the quality of the spaces by bringing in natural light.
The living and dining areas are double-height spaces, which make them look more spacious and provide a sense of grandeur.
This house has four bedrooms in all, along with a home theatre and a gym on the second floor.
Two of those bedrooms are located on the ground floor, and are easily accessible.
The kitchen has been separated into 2 parts; the wet and dry kitchens. This makes the maintenance of the kitchens easier, and helps keep them more appealing. Please refer to our video titled House of Voids in YouTube for detailed description of these kitchen spaces, and how they can be useful.
The other two bedrooms are on the first floor, and are more spacious with attached dressing rooms.
The dressing area of the master bedroom is contiguous with the toilet separated only by a glass partition. This instills a sense of luxury, space and light.
A dry landscaped terrace has been provided on the second floor, which offers views and allows the residents to enjoy the breeze. The open feeling of the terrace is further helped by the glass handrails instead of solid parapet walls that we regularly have in normal houses.
The family room is located on the second floor of the house along with a courtyard. This forms the Confluence of all the Bedrooms and designed as resting area in this floor.
Walnut veneers have been used throughout the house along with a combination of Italian marbles, namely Botticino and brown Emperador, Contrasting, and highlighting effects.
Selected walls that tend to get dirty over time have been cladded in Marble to make maintenance easier. We have used Italian Breccia Aurora Marble for this.
A combination of artificial tiles and natural Marbles has been used in all the toilets which gives a luxurious feel while being cost-effective.

You need to have at-least 1200sq ft of land. Minimum proposed construction area of about 3,000 sq ft is required for us to take it as a project. Less than that will not be a viable project for us.
We need to be paid an advance 'Retainer' Payment before we start working on a project.
Please make sure that you come with a mindset to give us maximum freedom for designing, so that we can deliver the best result to you.
You have to trust us totally, only then we can perform to our best capacity. To get this trust, please go through in detail, all the completed project photographs we have displayed in our website.
Our Experience in High-end, Luxury homes and our design sense are unmatchable in the field, whether among established or among the start-up firms.
We don’t just show the computer generated 3D images as many new start-up firms do. You can see many such examples all over internet. They can only show you the computer generated imaginary views, and cannot show the completed real life photos as you see in our site.
It is very easy to show a computer generated image. But it takes years of experience to bring it to reality. We excel in bringing out the design in reality, so that The final result invariably looks much better than what we showed in 3-D views .
Our designs are not 'run of the mill'. Each and every house or interior is custom designed to need and the requirement of the people who will use it. We impart so much thought process, hours of brain storming sessions, deep research work in to each and everyone of them. And it takes typically about 1.5 to 2 years to complete the results that you see in our website. This kind of result requires everyday involvement from us during the entire period of construction.
We charge on square foot basis. Hence, whether you use Vitrified tiles or Italian marble for flooring, our fee will be the same. So, when we suggest a costly finish, you will not get the feeling that we are doing it to hike our fee. At the same time we charge as per the Council of Architecture norms.
We also provide complete turnkey solutions, whether in construction or in interiors. So your involvement in the process of construction will be almost nil. But if you prefer to involve more in the process, you are always welcome.
We have a dedicated and experienced team of staff members who work tirelessly to bring our imagination to reality. They will support your building construction team by Involving in endless meetings and discussions with the contractors, and their site supervisors. Also they take special care in clearing all their doubts and questions.
Once a project design is finalised, we will allot a working team to your project. The head of the team will coordinate with the daytoday requirements of the contractor and their construction team. You can always call or meet the head of our team and get your doubts and questions clarified. If you are not satisfied with his/her answer, you are welcome to escalate the issue to the chief architect who will be glad to solve the issue.
If a certain staff is not available for taking care of your need, we always have a substitute who will be knowledgeable in your project and fill the absence of the previous one instantly.

Besides, all the vendors will give you special rates as have long term relationship with them. Most importantly once they go through us, they will never think about compromising the quality of work. They know that the moment they do it they are out of good books.
Our engineers will periodically check the quality of construction as per the strict norms we have. During important stages of concreting our engineers will visit the site and they will sign and certify that the implementation is as per our drawing. The concreting can proceed only after this. If you prefer, we arrange for the site visits by our team more frequently at minimum extra fee.
We just don’t provide the drawings and wash our hands out. We will be with you safe guarding your interest until the complete hand over of the project. So we coordinating each and every stage of the construction. Because of this aspect, you might find our fee to be little more than our competitors. But the enormous value addition you get compensates much more than the little extra that you pay to us.
People spend enormous amounts for constructing their homes. But if the design is given to improper people who might make blunders in the design. For example, if they place one column in a wrong location, you are stuck with that column forever in your life. This negates the small saving you had in choosing a firm offering lesser fee than us. Please think about this before you finalise your architect.
