This architectural concept harmoniously combines form and function, seamlessly integrating sustainable features with aesthetic charm. It stands as a testament to thoughtful design, offering a living space that celebrates the beauty of nature while providing all the modern comforts one could desire. Situated overlooking Jaipur airport, where the arrival and departure of airplanes are clearly visible, it draws inspiration from the aerodynamic elegance of aircraft. The butterfly roof not only adds a unique architectural touch but also offers ample shading for both the viewing deck and the building itself.

The bungalow is thoughtfully divided into four distinct finger-like masses, intelligently connected through transition zones. These zones serve as conduits for natural light and ventilation, infusing every corner of the floor plan with a soothing, even daylight. Privacy is masterfully achieved by positioning the bedrooms toward the rear of the site, while the semi-private spaces, including the inviting Living and Dining areas, extend outward, offering breathtaking views of the layered landscape. A spacious deck gracefully extends the interior, serving as both an extension of the living spaces and an outdoor oasis. Here, one can unwind in the cool shade provided by the building’s thoughtful architecture, perhaps swaying in a hammock while relishing the tranquility of the surroundings.

The central two masses, with their heightened volumes, act as efficient climate regulators, ensuring a comfortable environment year-round. The central staircase, a contemporary masterpiece with ornate touches, takes center stage, inviting residents to ascend to the viewing spaces where they can gaze at the graceful dance of airplanes taking off and landing.
