This Hyderabad home in Banjara Hills makes a convincing case for working from home
In India’s Cyber City, Urban Zen crafts a home that looks, lives and breathes contemporary luxury
Four bedrooms, 800-square-yards of land, Hyderabad’s Banjara Hills, a compact family of three and the requirement of larger-than-life luxury. That kind of canvas would have been the size of a dreamscape for any architecture firm. And Urban Zen was no different. Built for a young and successful entrepreneur, the house was “to be big, bold and captivating in all aspects,” says Rohit Suraj, founder of Urban Zen. And for the Hyderabad-based architecture and interior design firm, giving expression to this particular brief was an opportunity to get seriously creative.
The outsized vision set to come up on a relatively narrow plot meant the house would need to rise up rather than spread out. That played nicely into the client’s need to go dramatic, with Suraj integrating the large-than-life element in the structure itself—one that rose up dramatically, and spread out horizontally through a “series of overlapping volumes. The [horizontal] extensions deliberately give the structure a sense of proportion.” And as intriguing as it looks from the outside, it is on the inside that the luxury finds the room to really come into its own.
