Aruvi by Casa Design Studio

Nestled against a gently flowing stream, the residence offers breath taking views of the stream from both the terrace area of the first floor and the verdant, grassy yard below. Surrounded by the lush greenery of the natural landscape, the home seamlessly blends into its environment, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting. Site context plays a crucial role in shaping the design and functionality of a residential building. It acts like a blueprint, influencing various aspects of the structure and significantly impacting the living experience it offers. Perched upon an elevation from the main road, the building enjoys a distinct advantage in terms of privacy. This elevated position effectively shields the residents from prying eyes and unwanted sounds, fostering a sense of seclusion from the public domain and creating a tranquil haven within the home.

The two-story design fosters a unique balance between visual connectivity and individual privacy. Upon entering the residence, one encounters a spacious hall that unfolds into a designated zone. This zone cleverly integrates public, semi-private, and private spaces, with the public area (living room) distinguished by a vertical wooden element. This element serves a dual purpose: facilitating seamless movement throughout the space while simultaneously creating a sense of enclosure for the public area, fostering a comfortable gathering space. Linear planning in this residential design offers the advantage of maximizing connectivity and flow between spaces. By arranging rooms or zones in a sequential layout along a central space, linear planning creates clear sightlines and promotes easy movement. This translates into a feeling of openness and spaciousness.
