ashwin architects designs sculptural retreat near bengaluru
Kodalli’s Residence by Ashwin Architects is a modern, soulful retreat located in the lush outskirts of Bengaluru, India. Designed for a family that values both connection and calm, the home balances bold architectural gestures with warm, intimate spaces. It features a sloping exposed concrete roof and steel-framed windows amid brick walls that define the striking facade, creating a sculptural profile that merges seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Throughout, earthy materials, tall trees, and carefully planned openings have been integrated to offer both shade and privacy while inviting in ample natural light.

kodalli’s residence supports privacy and shared family moments
Inside Kodalli’s Residence, an olive-toned foyer leads to a double-height living area with exposed brick walls, wooden rafters, and a cantilevered staircase — all brought together with an eye for detail and craft. Ashwin Architects’ use of natural textures further adds a sense of depth and softness, creating a tranquil atmosphere for the residents. Upstairs, a family lounge fosters informal gatherings, while the son’s bedroom, tucked under the sloped roof, is bright and characterful. A quiet study nook above provides a dedicated corner for focus and reflection. ‘Privacy and proximity come together in thoughtful balance,’ notes the team.
The architecture allows individuals to retreat into their personal spaces or engage in shared experiences — from family time on the terrace deck and movie nights in the home theatre to everyday moments in the open-plan living areas. Spread over three levels, the house supports freedom of expression for every family member.
