When architect Raghunandan Gururaj started designing the home of industrialist S Yogamurthy on Tumkur Road, the challenge was to put in neat geometry within a skew. The plot was of an irregular shape, so the design had to be symmetric and neat. The needs of his client were simple - to make the home spacious and comfortable. "The idea was to keep the lines intact keeping the dynamics of the home in mind," says Raghunandan.
The homeowner wanted to have a lot of wood detailing inside his home. "All the doors and windows are made from teakwood. But I didn't want the staircase railing to be of wood, and hence got it fabricated in my industry," says Yogamurthy, who lives here along with his wife Mamatha and son Siddaiah.
What is unique about this home is the presence of an oasis of greenery in the living room. "I hail from an agricultural backg ro u n d a n d
wanted to have plants indoors, so this portion has no flooring and the plants grow directly from the soil and get direct sunlight from the skylight that has been designed right above," explains Yogamurthy.
According to his architect Raghunandan the idea was to break the monotony of the colour of wood and white hues that were used extensively for the indoors. "The yellow paneling that we have given in the background breaks the regularity of white and brown," says Raghunandan.
The Murthys get quite a few raised eyebrows and comments from visitors to their home when they spot the green oasis in the living room. "We wash the leaves regularly to give the plants the freshness and colour. This part of the home is definitely my favourite," he says.
