THE WINDOW SEAT

Most weekends when they’re there, Aprameya Radhakrishna and Parinita Narain can be found on the katte (Kannada for ‘bench’) in the courtyard, sometimes with a friendly neighbour, always with some piping hot filter coffee. For the couple, such weekend sojourns are a regular occurrence—the happy result of a long-ago manifesto to escape the city more often, albeit on their own terms. “A weekend home was the obvious solution,” says Shalini Chandrashekar, Principal and Director of Bengaluru-based architecture and design practice Taliesyn (co-founded with architect Mahaboob Basha in 2007), who were tapped by the couple to breathe life into their recently acquired 3,800 sq ft plot in Bengaluru.
