Opening windows of conversations between family members, the House of Dialogue redefines spaces of visual and verbal connections. Located in an urban residential fabric of North Bangalore, the residence seeks respite through the addition of green pockets. Manifesting biophilic interventions with an opulent twist, this sublime home maintains a ‘less is more’ ideology that is reflected in its design sensibilities.

The foyer opens into a large double-height volume encompassing the main staircase and formal living that overlooks a linear courtyard. At the same time, the garden in the North East corner unveils a wisp of fresh air into the open dining and kitchen. Attempts to invite nature indoors through courtyards and gardens have ameliorated the opportunities of living close to nature. Each level witnesses a delicate balance between muted colour palettes, fluid spaces and punctuations in volumes. Peppered in warm veneers and lustrous marble, manoeuvring from each floor transcends the user from the stimulated golf room in the basement to the pool and bar on the first floor and terminates at the private bedrooms on the second floor.

Nature punctuates the overall volume, unveiling pleasant views of lush foliage, while perimetric balconies overlooking the pool and bar establish a biophilic inclination within the home’s environs. The desire to constantly converse with each other within the bounds of rigid walls is mindfully carved out in House of Dialogue.
