The Linea

Nestled in a growing urban precinct, this three-storey villa spanning 9000 sq.ft. Is a contemporary reinterpretation of courtyard-centric living. Rooted in the timeless Indian typology of inward-looking homes, the residence integrates a central courtyard as the spatial and experiential nucleus, redefining the natural sunlight and fresh airflow are orchestrated throughout the structure.
Located on a corner plot with dual road frontage, the villa engages its surroundings while remaining distinctly private. The form is articulated through clean lines, horizontal slabs, vertical fins, and deep recesses that create a dynamic interplay of solids and voids. The staggered massing helps visually break down the building’s scale while enhancing airflow and light penetration.
The façade is a careful blend of contemporary finishes — matte greys, textured concrete panels, and warm wood tones — offering a monolithic yet inviting visual identity. Large window openings and shaded balconies further animate the exterior, blending function with aesthetic depth.
The residence is planned around a central Double -height courtyard, which functions as the heart of the home. Entry into the house leads through a semi-private forecourt into a lobby that immediately opens into this internal courtyard, offering a glimpse into the home’s core ideology of openness and natural integration. Movement throughout the house is organized as a seamless transition between built spaces and natural voids, encouraging pause, interaction, and contemplation.
