The influence of nature is evident from the moment one approaches the site. The boundary wall winds around a tree trunk to preserve its growth, and a downward-curving branch near the entrance lobby reinforces this connection. A dramatic entrance corridor with square punctures in the wall leads the visitors into the home. These carefully positioned openings transform an otherwise austere passage into a dynamic space, where dappled sunlight casts ever-changing patterns across the flooring and walls, while offering glimpses of the lush greenery beyond. Inside, the house is organised around a double-height central bay that celebrates the neem tree as its focal point. Oriented East-West, it becomes a place where the family gathers for morning tea and meals under the canopy.

On the upper floor, the central bay transitions into a study area overlooking the dining space below. Each space establishes its own relationship with the trees outside. The master bedroom, for instance, positioned directly above the living room, opens to a shaded balcony overlooking the trees, while the daughter’s bedrooms occupy the quieter rear wing with the views of the backyard. The second floor serves as a social terrace with a family lounge, bar, and powder room, creating an inviting space for gatherings above the neem canopies under the open sky.

The bedrooms reflect distinct personalities of their occupants while maintaining an intimate connection to nature. The master bedroom, in ply cast concrete surfaces and kota flooring with terrazzo detailing, features a custom four-poster bed with stone pedestals and wooden posts. The daughters' rooms maintain their distinct personalities—one embracing graphite tones, the other featuring sage green walls and green marble-infused terrazzo flooring. This colour palette extends into their respective ensuite bathrooms. The guest bedroom, designed for elderly parents, offers a calm retreat with natural tones and minimal detailing.
