THIS SPECTACULAR VILLA DESIGNED BY GAYATHRI & NAMITH ARCHITECTS AMIDST THE HILLS OF CHIKMAGALUR IS DRENCHED WITH NATURAL BEAUTY.
ABODE IN THE MOUNTAINS

Imagine having a home on the top of a mountain, waking up to the sounds of birds chirping, and the clouds floating into your room. Dreamy, right? By designing this luxurious home in Chikmagalur, set amidst pristine nature with a warm and pastoral style, Gayathri & Namith Architects, have made the dream come true for its owners.

A HEAVENLY ABODE 

The architecture of this spectacular house is effortless and celebrates the surrounding nature in all its glory. The main house is flanked on either side by a charming tree house and a clubhouse, exuding a luxurious but rustic charm. A sunken lounge acts as a place for the family to come together for cosy conversations and a double heighted window offers uninterrupted views to the outside.

When the architects got the brief from the client for an estate by the coffee plantations of the scenic city of Chikmagalur, they knew instantly that in higher altitudes, one felt closer to the greater forces of nature. So, the villa complex was strategically re-located to a higher altitude by the architects to enhance the villa experience.
