Sharada

Sharada, located in southern Bengaluru, is a home shaped by the family’s belief in lifelong learning and quiet living. Built on a compact east-facing plot, the house places its main living spaces on the first floor to draw in soft morning light and remain connected to its leafy neighbourhood. The kitchen forms the heart of the home, opening onto a northeast terrace that extends daily life outdoors. Living and dining spaces flow seamlessly into this shared edge, while bedrooms and the library are designed as calm, light-filled retreats with a strong relationship to nature. Fire-brick vaults define the spatial character, bringing light, volume, and passive cooling into the interiors. With simple materials, thoughtful detailing, and climate-responsive design, Sharada is a restrained celebration of light, learning, and living in balance with its context.
