| Ar. Niroop Reddy and the Courtyard House |
Na
Architects presents a home modelled on age-old architectural techniques,
finished with modern amenities and a minimalist contemporary style mirroring
the client’s requirements.
Located
in one of the most upscale areas of Hyderabad, Jubilee Hills, the Courtyard House
by Na Architects hits the bull’s eye in terms of design sensibility, client
satisfaction and aesthetics. A perfect example of old meets new; this home
brings about a free flow of spaces with unhindered privacy.

The
four-bedroom, 9000-square-foot home fuses concepts of Vaastu Shastra and
landscape design into a built form abounding with natural light and breeze. The open plan
allows the expanse of space to act as a continuous mass that weaves into the 3rd
dimension via the courtyard in the transitional area adding an interesting volume
to the space.

A
courtyard or Brahmasthan, unique to ancient
architecture, is viewed as the purest and most powerful zone of the house as all
directions meet at the centre of the house for the multi-directional dispersal
of positive energy. The Zen-like landscaping and lighting that resembles
falling raindrops further transforms the courtyard into a focal meeting point
for the six-member family.

While the
courtyard alone can sell this home with its climatic influence, the design of
each space matures and silently competes for attention. The three floors house
an open kitchen, dining and living area, a lounge, four bedrooms, terraces, a
gym and recreational rooftop complete with a stunning infinity swimming pool. Transitional
spaces like the courtyard and lounge serve a dual purpose; acting as buffer
zones as well as congregational points.

A diverse
palette of exclusive materials in neutral shades complements the green
landscaped zones, while planning elements rise onto the elevation creating a different
type of geometric design on the earthy exterior that blends stone cladding,
brick and wood.
