The user experience quotient: Designed for a family of four: husband, wife, and their two kids who currently reside in the UK and come down during their annual holidays. They wanted their home to be set in their ancestral land, enabling them to be around their loved ones and host memorable gatherings while they were here. The process behind delivering personalized and intimate spaces for each of the users from a common volume was very intense and the design ultimately went about having some delights like the floating deck by the living area that opens out to the garden, reading space in the extended stair landing, private balcony of the first-floor bedroom overlooking the plantation, the terrace planters, the bay windows and the prayer/ meditation room in the ground floor with a perforated wall that brings in interesting patterns of daylight. These are spaces that emote varying moods where these users can celebrate the wholesome experience of ‘homecoming.’
