The space Maaya is this enchanting 3,500Sft four bedroom home that transports one into an immersive rustic Indian tropical vibe giving the home its appropriate name ‘MAAYA’. or the Creative power or ‘Shakti’ of the Divine through which the Universe is manifested. Designed in Contemporary Indian Tropical Style Architecture and Contemporary Indian eclectic interiors, this green home made from local materials mostly sourced from a radius of ten kilometres have spaces that are rustic, rural and warm with earthy local materials, hues, colours, textures, art, artefacts and touches that make one feel like relaxing and unwinding and enter a world of soulful detachment from the noise of madness of the city. Built on a 4,000Sft plot, the form of the home is contemporary straight lines that complements the linear organisation of spaces. The long linear form of the home is a subtle collage of local stone Gabion wall, exposed concrete parapet walls, casuarina pole trellis for shade and privacy, concrete planter boxes that house plants and greenery and certain plastered surfaces in mud colour that borrow inspiration from the Chennagiri Hill range that the homes look out into; which is the biggest asset of this location and a protected bio-diverse forest treasure amongst the Nandi Hill ranges of hills. The heart of the space is the living, dining and open kitchen/ bar that open out into a long linear verandah along side the oblong pool and landscape that stretches the length of the home. The refreshing blue wavy patterned pool tiles designed and customised for the home- (inspired from Indian folk art), the hues of lush green tropical landscape that blend with the Chennagiri Hills in the backdrop, contrast beautifully with the beige limestone and the light grey textured granite stone making the space most refreshing and vibrant space in the home! Having one room that opens out to the pool on the ground floor, the rest of the home rooms are tucked away on the first floor providing privacy and look out into stunning views of the verde green Chennagiri hills that stretch themselves panoramically and can take one into a meditative realm and that of expansion. Every room has an en-suite bathroom which has a little courtyard with plants and have been strategically designed to capture the gorgeous views of the Chennagiri hills when on the ‘throne’ or showering. The various outdoor spaces on the different levels including a cosy terrace space have been designed to cater to the primal need when on a get-away- to spend time outdoors, some during the day and others closer to sunset or later allowing one to soak in the country-side greenery as well as a the hills, the sky and its changing hues at different times of the day!
