"It is not very common to see trees take center stage in residential design projects. The perennial evergreens played a crucial role as the protagonists in the genesis of ideas that were later materialized into the design of this house. After making the decision to construct a new home for their growing family, the two owners nearly forgot the 1.38-acre land that has been in their family for 50 years, passed down through multiple generations of descendants."
"The land had become deserted, as it was inhabited by trees, plants, and wetlands. Upon the first survey, a walk through the damp, plant-covered path led the architects to the two massive banyan trees that stand majestically at the center of the land. These towering giants, with their expansive and beautifully lush canopies, were truly a breathtaking sight. The kind of majesty and beauty that can only be shaped by nature and the passage of time."
Two owners decided to build a new home for their growing family on a 1.38-acre ancestral plot held for 50 years. The land lay largely deserted and dominated by trees, plants, and wetlands. Perennial evergreens and two massive banyan trees at the site's center became central design inspirations. A survey and a walk along a damp, plant-covered path revealed the towering banyans with expansive, lush canopies. The banyans' majesty and the natural passage of time shaped design ideas. The trees served as protagonists whose presence guided the genesis and materialization of the house design.
