ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

Surrounded by the rolling hills of the Sahyadris is Linear House, a project by interior designer Rohit Bhoite, which makes the most of its verdurous environs

A rectangular structure of towering glass walls and sloping roofs makes up Linear House or Uday Villa as it is christened by its inhabitants. The hilltop home in Lonavala’s gated Canary Farms community is bathed in daylight that filters in through tall French windows that open out to a landscaped garden on one side and a cool blue pool on the other. A sense of fluid connectedness pervades the air as enchanting sights of rustling leaves, sprawling vegetation, shimmering waters and twittering birds greet you at every turn. Designed by Rohit Bhoite, the house seamlessly blends natural vistas with urban contemporary elements.
