Reflected splendor. Residence in India by Hiren Patel – an example of the perfect harmony between architecture and landscape

This post features the "Reflected Splendor" project, a sprawling beachfront residence by Hiren Patel in India. It is an example of a perfect balance between architecture and landscape, with the building's facade reflecting the beautiful landscape around it. The design is efficient and uses natural elements like wind and light to reduce energy demand while also utilizing the Indian monsoon season to allow for flexible living spaces. Additionally, the residence is designed with communal and private areas for family life that open up to the exterior landscape. With minimalistic and utilitarian design, this residence highlights the best of traditions in the modern era, creating an environment for an enjoyable living experience.

The house has been designed in such a way that all the living rooms have access to the patio. The idea of creating a central courtyard with pools that will reflect the house was the basis of the design concept for the entire property. These reflections have become one of the main elements of the decor of the exterior.

The roof and veranda are made entirely of wood. Introduced a lot of glass – this was done to bring nature as close as possible to the vacationers in this home. Because the summer is so hot and the sun is hitting hard, the windows are oriented mostly to the north and east. The west and south expose either the walls or the window apertures, protected by broad awnings that are at least seven feet wide.

The pools were originally purely decorative. Clear water was meant to reflect the building. But in the process, it was decided to install water filters in them – making them suitable for bathing. The art objects used for the decoration were sourced in a variety of ways.

For example, the bird that now adorns the veranda was lucky enough to be found at a convenience store, but the wooden peacock in the garden was custom-made.

Architecture, interior design and landscaping of this modern home are perfectly synchronized with each other. Thanks to this, the space acquires timeless qualities and creates a special atmosphere of tranquility and relaxation.
