Kekarav

Located in Kekarav near Pune, this bungalow is designed on a 268 sq.m plot situated within a hilly terrain with natural contours, mountains, and lush green surroundings. The design responds to the site through a stepped massing approach, allowing the built form to adapt to the slope while maximizing views of the surrounding landscape.

The house is conceived to evoke the character of a contemporary holiday home, reflecting a relaxed mountain-living experience. The composition of pitched roof volumes breaks down the scale of the building and creates a form that resonates with hillside homes.

The program includes parking, an entrance lobby, living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, and an in-house office, arranged vertically to follow the terrain. Balconies and terraces extend from the living spaces, creating strong connections with nature and framing views of the mountains.

A restrained palette of light plaster walls, warm roof finishes, and integrated greenery enhances the overall character, creating a calm home that blends with its natural surroundings.
