Antara Villa _ Herohalli, Bangalore

Elevating Traditions: A Home Blending Culture and Modernity

Located in the bustling area of Hosahalli, Bengaluru, this project showcases a harmonious blend of South Indian traditions and contemporary aesthetics, reflecting the unique cultural heritage of a Rajasthani-origin family rooted in Bengaluru. Designed for a successful businessman, this structure effortlessly integrates personal, professional, and rental spaces within its thoughtful layout.

Key Highlights:

Ground Floor:
A private entrance leads to the family’s exclusive lobby, providing access to the upper residential floors. A dedicated home office at the rear ensures a seamless work-life balance.

Commercial Floors:
The first and second floors are optimized for commercial use with thoughtfully designed shop façades and dedicated toilets. The private staircase and lift ensure uninterrupted access to the residential spaces.

Second Floor (Residential Start):
The residential journey begins with a spacious lobby leading to a double-height living room illuminated by a skylight, overcoming the challenge of blocked east and west walls.

• A semi-open layout connects the living room, kitchen, dining, and utility, enhancing ventilation with windows strategically placed on the north and south sides.
• Two spacious bedrooms: a master bedroom with an attached dress and toilet, and a kid’s room with its own attached toilet.

Third Floor (Family-Centric Design):
A lobby with a double-height feature wall creates a dramatic entry. The family room, with its one-and-a-half height ceiling, serves as a central space for connection.

• Two additional bedrooms: a parent’s room with an attached dress and toilet, and a guest room adjacent to a common toilet.
• Internal visual connections and elegant transitions between spaces elevate the design.

Fourth Floor (Terrace Level):
A well-lit lobby overlooking the lower floors leads to an open terrace, designed to integrate indoor and outdoor living. Internal windows allow visibility into the family room below, ensuring continuity in design and interaction.

Distinctive Features:

• Skylights and strategically placed windows ensure natural light and ventilation despite common walls on two sides.
• Differentiated roof heights add a sense of hierarchy and character to the structure.
• A seamless blend of modern functionality and traditional warmth makes this property stand out.

Name Antara Villa derived from - the Sanskrit word Antara (अन्तर), meaning "connection" or "within," this name reflects the seamless blend of cultural roots and modern aesthetics within the project. It also signifies the connection between personal, professional, and rental spaces, as well as the harmony created by the open, light-filled design.

This project is a testament to innovative design, ensuring comfort, connectivity, and elegance for a family deeply rooted in their heritage while embracing modern lifestyles.
