Design Concept
The House of Dancing Screens, as its name suggests, revolves around the beauty of the pivotal screens and their graceful interplay of function, form, and movement, creating an ever-changing dynamic concept that gives the house its distinctive character and name.
These screens are not mere partitions but elegant elements that redefine the space around them. Crafted with precision, they revolve smoothly on their pivots, offering flexibility in how spaces are used and experienced. Their movement along the wind is reminiscent of a dance—fluid, purposeful, and rhythmic—allowing the house to adapt to the needs and privacy of its occupants at any given moment.
The house is envisioned as an open floor plan emphasizing the interconnectivity of spaces. Each level is meticulously designed to cater to the unique lifestyles and age groups of the family, with a family lounge on every floor serving as a central gathering hub. From this lounge, private areas extend outward allowing each bedroom to enjoy the luxury of its private balcony.
On the ground floor, a formal lounge seamlessly flows into the drawing room and dining area. The dining space, together with a gracefully curved staircase, opens up into a triple-height cut-out that floods all three floors with natural light throughout the day. This staircase serves as the architectural thread that ties the three floors and their lounges together. This level also houses the master bedroom and the parents’ bedroom. The kitchen opens into a sunlit lawn in the front, creating the perfect setting for morning tea, while the rear lawn offers an exclusive retreat for the master bedroom.
The first floor is thoughtfully crafted for the son and daughter, featuring a spacious lounge connected to the rest of the house through the staircase. This lounge provides them with a space to host gatherings and leads to their bedrooms, as well as a guest room. When designing the interiors, the daughter envisioned an elegant pink and white room, while the son preferred an earthy palette. The mood board was carefully curated to reflect their distinct tastes.
Vibrant colors play a key role in shaping each space, setting the tone for the interiors.
The third floor is dedicated to the family’s individual and collective activities. It features a gym with a private terrace garden that leads to the main terrace. A rooftop swimming pool with its own terrace garden and dancing screens serves as a focal point, extending into a large family lounge and entertainment area.
