Snuggled in the busy residential area of Gurugram—is the home of Ar. Robin Sisodiya, the Founder of ASRO Arcade India. The architect’s home is built on a limited land area of 125 sq.m, with utmost aesthetics and efficiency. The primary idea for this “retreat” was a space that allows its residents to get closer to nature, which is successfully accomplished through the use of natural elements and materials in design. The innovative one-of-a-kind exterior with copper and aluminium makes the home stand out from its surroundings. The facade in itself serves as an artwork with colourful metal patinas which brings an undeniable artsy aesthetic to the home. ASRO Arcade, always known for its innovation in facades, has introduced copper cladding in facades for the first time in India. With natural rustic finishes, glimmers of verdure, and vibrant accents, the home is a simple and chic oasis amidst the tight residential neighbourhood in Gurugram. A special emphasis on the interior was given to achieve a minimalist, airy, colour-rich home, with a close connection to nature. It was followed by an intent for the interplay of volumes to bring in additional natural light and the utilisation of a combination of colours, textures, geometry, and natural materials to achieve a sense of balance. The resultant material palette was pared-back and mellow- an emblem of calm in the surrounding urban chaos. In terms of navigating the layout, the home hosts a large living-dining area, along with a quirky kitchen, two master bedrooms, two smaller bedrooms, and a family lounge. The design of each room is given careful attention to make the most of it. The undersides of the family lounge, for instance, were given a rustic avatar, with a brick backdrop that could be thoughtfully utilised as a cosy personal spot. The materials used included glass, wood, concrete, and wicker—all favoured for being sustainable and low-maintenance, but also oh-so-chic. The master bedroom on the first floor carries the complex theme of the home, with its mellow colours and natural wooden flooring. The floor-ceiling high window opens to the greenery and allows abundant natural light to flow into the space. The well-planned interior accommodates a large low-lying bed with side tables, a TV cabinet and a cosy armchair to enjoy the view of nature. The large size windows further create an illusion of a bigger space in a relatively smaller area. The metallic accents are also sprinkled in the bedroom, attuned to the rest of the house. Flexible furniture pieces occupy the vast family lounge on this floor, which allows for casual family gatherings and enjoying their time together. Moving further up, the other bedroom also follows a minimal design language with a rather subdued colour palette. On the other hand, the kids’ bedroom hardly diverges from the design scheme and is decorated with curvy alcoved bedrest and quirky throws, that personalise the space for the child. The simple and clean kitchen with smart furnishings and hidden storage solutions also opens into the greens bringing an airy feel to the compact space. The vase on the kitchen counter peeps out with a pop of yellow and adds a sense of quirk to the kitchen. The drawing room, on the terrace, is furnished with a colourful sofa set and wicker chairs, in the hues of blue and pink. Throughout the home, artwork in vivid colours and lush green plants keeps making regular appearances, and bath spaces are no exception. The drawing room is vibrant and is a nod to the energetic conversations of the guests, while the dining that flows from the living area, is designed with minimal furnishings, for low-key gatherings and private affairs. The centrally located staircase bound by brick walls becomes the most admired design element that separates the living and dining areas and showcases minimal but bold material aesthetics. The space overlooks a private balcony where the family likes to sit back and watch films on a large screen. The home brings sustainability to the forefront with its conscious and impactful design that includes, efficient facade design, energy-saving LED studio lights, and the predominant use of local materials and labour along with the inclusion of nature. Large windows and openings are featured across the home, allowing for a flood of natural light to take over. Considering the restricted plot size and the inevitable adjoining construction, the home draws inspiration from apartment-style living to achieve an effective design.

The client wanted a family space where one can enjoy the beauty of nature while sipping a cup of coffee or while reading a book. The whole terrace is kept white and balanced by the greens and perennial plants! The fusion of traditional belongings of Indian homes is used in a modern style for this project. The jalis which were used as Roshandans in old homes are used as screens in this terrace design. We chose a subtle palette for the whole wall with the contrasting staircase. The inspiration was derived from nature- the delicate white lilies and traditional Indian elements of lippan work, which was a native practice in Rajasthan. These art panels are custom made. The 28”x28” panels are done by local artisans with a mirror in the Center. Floral panel wall art such as this Jaipur mural reached its peak in early 17th century Mughal buildings. The fashion then spread to the Rajput courts of Rajasthan. The plant was first sketched on paper, then its outline pierced with a stylus to create a stencil. This was pronounced over with a cloth bag of soot, transferring a dotted outline onto the plaster. ​

This 3400sq ft home is snugly fit into a 41' x 52' plot in a quiet residential neighbourhood of Norht Bangalore. The project brief was for a cluster of 2 homes, each with 3 bedrooms, individual living, kitchen and utility areas, the style being contemporary. The elevation is deftly designed as a playful mix of exposed concrete, rough white walls and vibrant blue louvred windows. Each one of these elements with its distinct colours, textures and the characteristics, sprinkled generously with the natural greens, weave a beautiful story together and make a bold eclectic statement. The tall blue windows which add a vivacious zest to the facade, envelopes a spacious well groomed balcony area, adorned with the traditional Athangudi tiles for flooring and the pergola above allows a fantastic view of the starry night sky. The spatial planning for the structure is tactfully dealt to provide ample privacy to both homes, between themselves and also from the outdoors, with no compromise of natural light and ventilation. The final product is a healthy spacious mix of 6 bedrooms, 6 toilets, 2 Living area, 2 Kitchen Dining areas, 2 sets of staircases, and generous balcony, utility and terrace spaces all woven cohesively to form an elegant contemporary home for 2 families spanning 3 generations.

ASRO Arcade, always known for its innovation in facades, has introduced copper cladding in facades for the first time in India. With natural rustic finishes, glimmers of verdure, and vibrant accents, the home is a simple and chic oasis amidst the tight residential neighbourhood in Gurugram. A special emphasis on the interior was given to achieve a minimalist, airy, colour-rich home, with a close connection to nature. It was followed by an intent for the interplay of volumes to bring in additional natural light and the utilisation of a combination of colours, textures, geometry, and natural materials to achieve a sense of balance. The resultant material palette was pared-back and mellow- an emblem of calm in the surrounding urban chaos. In terms of navigating the layout, the home hosts a large living-dining area, along with a quirky kitchen, two master bedrooms, two smaller bedrooms, and a family lounge. The design of each room is given careful attention to make the most of it. The undersides of the family lounge, for instance, were given a rustic avatar, with a brick backdrop that could be thoughtfully utilised as a cosy personal spot. The materials used included glass, wood, concrete, and wicker—all favoured for being sustainable and low-maintenance, but also oh-so-chic. The master bedroom on the first floor carries the complex theme of the home, with its mellow colours and natural wooden flooring. The floor-ceiling high window opens to the greenery and allows abundant natural light to flow into the space. The well-planned interior accommodates a large low-lying bed with side tables, a TV cabinet and a cosy armchair to enjoy the view of nature. The large size windows further create an illusion of a bigger space in a relatively smaller area. The metallic accents are also sprinkled in the bedroom, attuned to the rest of the house. Flexible furniture pieces occupy the vast family lounge on this floor, which allows for casual family gatherings and enjoying their time together. Moving further up, the other bedroom also follows a minimal design language with a rather subdued colour palette. On the other hand, the kids’ bedroom hardly diverges from the design scheme and is decorated with curvy alcoved bedrest and quirky throws, that personalise the space for the child. The simple and clean kitchen with smart furnishings and hidden storage solutions also opens into the greens bringing an airy feel to the compact space. The vase on the kitchen counter peeps out with a pop of yellow and adds a sense of quirk to the kitchen. The drawing room, on the terrace, is furnished with a colourful sofa set and wicker chairs, in the hues of blue and pink. Throughout the home, artwork in vivid colours and lush green plants keeps making regular appearances, and bath spaces are no exception. The drawing room is vibrant and is a nod to the energetic conversations of the guests, while the dining that flows from the living area, is designed with minimal furnishings, for low-key gatherings and private affairs. The centrally located staircase bound by brick walls becomes the most admired design element that separates the living and dining areas and showcases minimal but bold material aesthetics. The space overlooks a private balcony where the family likes to sit back and watch films on a large screen. The home brings sustainability to the forefront with its conscious and impactful design that includes, efficient facade design, energy-saving LED studio lights, and the predominant use of local materials and labour along with the inclusion of nature. Large windows and openings are featured across the home, allowing for a flood of natural light to take over. Considering the restricted plot size and the inevitable adjoining construction, the home draws inspiration from apartment-style living to achieve an effective design.

The client wanted a family space where one can enjoy the beauty of nature while sipping a cup of coffee or while reading a book. The whole terrace is kept white and balanced by the greens and perennial plants! The fusion of traditional belongings of Indian homes is used in a modern style for this project. The jalis which were used as Roshandans in old homes are used as screens in this terrace design. We chose a subtle palette for the whole wall with the contrasting staircase. The inspiration was derived from nature- the delicate white lilies and traditional Indian elements of lippan work, which was a native practice in Rajasthan. These art panels are custom made. The 28”x28” panels are done by local artisans with a mirror in the Center. Floral panel wall art such as this Jaipur mural reached its peak in early 17th century Mughal buildings. The fashion then spread to the Rajput courts of Rajasthan. The plant was first sketched on paper, then its outline pierced with a stylus to create a stencil. This was pronounced over with a cloth bag of soot, transferring a dotted outline onto the plaster. ​

Set against Jaipur's arid desert landscape, Trivikramalaya Residence is a 15,000-square-foot architectural masterpiece by AND Studio, where natural light is both the muse and the medium. This residence embodies a deep understanding of how sunlight can be harnessed to transform living spaces, creating an environment that is not only serene and inviting but also adaptive to the extreme climatic conditions of the region. At the heart of Trivikramalaya's design is the manipulation of natural light to enhance the spatial quality of the home. The architecture employs a range of strategies, including skylights, deep fenestrations, and strategically placed openings, to flood the interiors with sunlight while maintaining a cool and comfortable atmosphere. These elements work together to ensure that the spaces remain insulated from the intense desert heat, creating a balance between illumination and insulation that defines the residence’s climate-responsive design. Trivikramalaya is also a home crafted for connection. It seamlessly blends expansive social spaces with intimate private areas, offering a versatile setting that caters to both large gatherings and quiet moments of reflection. The residence is designed to foster interaction among family members, friends, and the natural surroundings, making it a harmonious space where life can unfold in all its dimensions. The social core of the home features informal lounges, outdoor terraces, and a vibrant bar area, all designed to facilitate effortless entertaining. These spaces allow guests to move fluidly between indoor and outdoor environments, creating a sense of openness and fluidity. The home theater adds another layer of versatility, providing a space for immersive entertainment, whether for film screenings or festive celebrations. In contrast, the residence also offers secluded retreats, such as a private den and serene decks, where residents can escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. These areas provide a calming environment for relaxation and reflection, ensuring that the home remains a sanctuary. The outdoor spaces, including shaded terraces and a covered courtyard, further enhance the connection with nature while offering protection from the harsh elements of the desert. Architecturally, Trivikramalaya is defined by its dramatic double-height foyer and central staircase. Upon entering, one is greeted by a grand foyer illuminated by natural light from a skylight above, setting a tone of elegance and tranquility. The central staircase, bathed in sunlight, acts as a sculptural centerpiece that visually connects the different levels of the home. This staircase allows light to cascade through the double-height space, creating a constantly shifting interplay of brightness and shadow that evolves throughout the day. The strategic placement of skylights throughout the residence ensures that natural light permeates the interior without exposing it to the full intensity of the desert sun. This interaction between light and the home’s material palette—comprising stone, timber, and muted finishes—creates an ethereal atmosphere where surfaces are brought to life with texture, warmth, and vibrancy. Deep fenestrations further contribute to this effect by allowing light to filter in gently, while also providing shade and insulation. These windows serve as dynamic elements that frame views of the outdoors and enhance the overall ambiance of the home. As the sun traverses the sky, Trivikramalaya becomes a living canvas where light and shadow dance in harmony, constantly redefining the mood and spatial quality of each room. Every aspect of the home is designed to maximize the benefits of natural light, resulting in spaces that are not only visually stunning but also deeply responsive to their environment. Trivikramalaya Residence stands as a testament to the transformative power of natural light in architecture, offering a unique and beautiful response to the challenges of Jaipur’s desert climate. Through thoughtful design, AND Studio has created a home that is both a sanctuary for its residents and a dynamic, living space that resonates with the rhythms of nature.

This 3400sq ft home is snugly fit into a 41' x 52' plot in a quiet residential neighbourhood of Norht Bangalore. The project brief was for a cluster of 2 homes, each with 3 bedrooms, individual living, kitchen and utility areas, the style being contemporary. The elevation is deftly designed as a playful mix of exposed concrete, rough white walls and vibrant blue louvred windows. Each one of these elements with its distinct colours, textures and the characteristics, sprinkled generously with the natural greens, weave a beautiful story together and make a bold eclectic statement. The tall blue windows which add a vivacious zest to the facade, envelopes a spacious well groomed balcony area, adorned with the traditional Athangudi tiles for flooring and the pergola above allows a fantastic view of the starry night sky. The spatial planning for the structure is tactfully dealt to provide ample privacy to both homes, between themselves and also from the outdoors, with no compromise of natural light and ventilation. The final product is a healthy spacious mix of 6 bedrooms, 6 toilets, 2 Living area, 2 Kitchen Dining areas, 2 sets of staircases, and generous balcony, utility and terrace spaces all woven cohesively to form an elegant contemporary home for 2 families spanning 3 generations.
