Project Narrative
In the serene neighborhood of Maurpankhi, nestled amidst the city’s hustle, stands a testament to architectural finesse and familial harmony—crafted with meticulous attention to detail by Pushpender, the principal architect and founder of House & Beyond. The residence, envisioned as a sanctuary for a family deeply entrenched in corporate demands, transcends mere functionality to embody a haven of tranquility and connection.
From the outset, Maurpankhi welcomes visitors with sunlight streaming through carefully crafted voids and the majestic presence of an ancient tree, standing sentinel at the entrance—a nod to the site’s historical significance and a symbol of reverence. Encased in a curved zinc-clad wall that ages gracefully alongside the family's journey, this architectural feature encapsulates the home’s evolving narrative and enduring charm.
Inside, the residence unfolds with a soaring double-height foyer that sets the stage for a symphony of light and space. The ground floor seamlessly integrates formal elegance with natural elements, where courtyards punctuate the architecture, infusing each space with light, fresh air, and a profound sense of openness. The fluid interplay of living, dining, and kitchen areas encourages a harmonious flow, fostering unobstructed sightlines and promoting a continuous dialogue between different parts of the home.
Descend into the basement, and conventional expectations are defied—a sunken courtyard bathes the expansive space in natural light, transforming it into a vibrant hub complete with a lounge, bar, and play area. This innovative design invites both relaxation and entertainment, embodying a lifestyle where every corner serves a purpose beyond mere utility.
Upstairs, the residence transitions into more intimate realms tailored to individual preferences. Private sanctuaries take shape with distinctive touches—be it the cocoon of serenity in the master suite, the daughter’s bedroom adorned with soft pastels and gentle curves, or the parents’ suite radiating understated grace. Natural light filters through central courtyards and expansive fenestrations, forging a seamless connection to the outdoors and infusing each space with a tranquil ambiance reflective of its inhabitants.
The topmost level unfolds as a serene retreat, where enclosed spaces flow into an expansive terrace bathed in afternoon light or starlit skies. A meditation room fosters mindfulness and yoga, while the son’s bedroom, with its cozy reading nook, becomes a sanctuary for academic pursuits and personal reflection. Here, the family gathers to relax, reflect, and savor moments of peace and belonging amidst the bustling cityscape.
Throughout Maurpankhi, non-synthetic limewash finishes grace the walls with a soft, sophisticated texture, aging gracefully alongside carefully selected natural materials. This palette of soothing hues and elegant textures defines the interiors, creating an atmosphere of quiet luxury that resonates with the family’s desire for moments of stillness and connection within their urban retreat.
