Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] Wilasa is a luxurious villa designed on a plot size of 80 x 60 ft, with the built space spanning across half the site and the other half well utilized for landscape design.
Planning: The house is divided into four floors with a focus on spatial planning. The ground level contains office space, a parking area, and a multi-purpose space, along with a kitchen designed to transition seamlessly into the garden space.
The first floor is dedicated to the family, with all semi-public spaces like the kitchen, dining, and living spaces located there. The second floor is designed to be completely private, with the bedrooms located there. The stairs continue up to a third floor that provides access to the entertainment zone, which houses a home theater, a gym, and a roof garden.
Sections have been kept simple across floors. Upper floors have been designed to accommodate large open spaces to ensure a proper daylighting.
The addition of skylights and double-height spaces makes the interiors more stylish with a hint of sophistication. It also ensures that each space receives ample amounts of light and ventilation.
Highlights and Materials used: The terrace roof is one of the highlights of the building; it has a fluidic design with the primary element being steel.
The facade design is minimalistic, with plaster-finish horizontal grooves incorporated along with vertical wooden slats to give a modern look to the built form. The voids within the built form lend it character in the form of fenestration and accommodate features that are both aesthetic and functional.
