The Aranya Villa

A two-storey contemporary villa built around a 120-year-old rain tree the owners refused to cut.

LocationWhitefield, Bengaluru

Built-up4,800 sq.ft

Duration14 months

Completed2025

Our scopeDesign + Turnkey Construction

01 The challenge

The heritage tree sat close to the planned living wing, and its root zone ruled out a conventional footing layout on one side of the plot.

02 Our solution

We redesigned the foundation as isolated footings with a cantilevered ground slab, keeping the root zone untouched, and wrapped the living room in full-height glazing so the tree became the home's centrepiece.

03 Highlights

Zero-tree-loss foundation design
Double-glazed thermal façade
Solar-ready roof with rainwater harvesting
