Please find here a 3000 sqft villa designed for distinctive living and levelled in luxury. It makes use of mezzanine floors for reading nooks. Some homes are big on square footage but don’t maximise space, and then some compact ones make the most of precious space at a premium. Located in Bangalore, this 3,000 sq ft villa exemplifies this residential project, exploring staggered volumes that led to creating spaces at multiple levels, including a mezzanine floor.

As per the client brief, the villa has been carefully segregated into multiple levels, ensuring privacy and optimising space. Also, the clients are avid readers, so dotting the entire home with cosy reading spots was another prerequisite. Designed for a family of three, this villa comprises three bedrooms, a home theatre, a couple of reading spaces, a basement and outdoor areas. The entrance is from the basement and car parking area, which leads to the ground floor living area. There’s also another entrance from the ground floor. A staircase from here leads to the mezzanine floor and the upper levels.

The main challenge was to create stacked volumes and space-saving floor plans and use the area to create spaces of tranquillity, encased by the bustling city around with an attentive focus on the details and surfaces. Also, nooks and corner spaces were cleverly converted into reading nooks. Skylights have been used to bring in spatial balance and illuminate the home.

This villa stands as a testament to the art of thoughtful design, where space becomes an opportunity, arches weave stories, and every nook whispers tranquillity. From the vibrant reading spots to the playful bedrooms and the serene mezzanine escapes, it’s a symphony of creativity, proving that in the realm of architecture, the greatest luxury is the intelligent use of space.
