Chaney Architects Private Residence (Pune)
Located in the elite part of Koregaon Park, Pune, a modern, contemporary and stylish house with plenty of natural light stands to fulfill the client's every requirement. The large trees existing on site determine the location of the house. The house is an independent structure divided into common, semi-private and private spaces. The private and common spaces are segregated vertically. Semi private spaces are on the ground floor and first floor holds private rooms aptly termed as “private heavens�. The master bedroom on the first floor is spacious with an en-suite bath and a walk-in wardrobe with a dominating view of the lawn outside. The ground floor sports an elegant living with a bar that merges through a patio into the landscape. The view of the house is animated at night with soft LED light that runs from three steps on the floor to the wall. It takes the focus to the most striking feature of the house, the angular glass cube projecting from the first floor.

visual The concept of keeping transparency between built and unbuilt along with the consideration of local climatology is achieved by fenestration mostly on the north side. The recessed glass facades provide plenty of natural light without excessive glare, giving a pleasing unhindered view of the landscape outside. The entrance lobby establishes a visual connection through all the common areas whereas the private areas are designed in a way that their access is seen from the lobby. The staircase in the double heighted dining area is not only a transition element but also acts as an aesthetic feature. It is supported on a single stringer beam that has open risers, solid wood on the tread and beautiful glass railing.

“Our design philosophy is contemporary, functional, minimalistic architecture exuding timeless quality. Our client’s brief was very clear and hence, the end product very satisfying.�

The welcoming double height entrance with glass provides openness. The integrated living dining with double height ceiling visually connects the vertical and horizontal spaces. The open riser staircase speaks elegance in design. The simple yet elegant and minimalistic approach is seen in every aspect of design.
