Creating a Spanish Hacienda, amidst the densely wooded site in Agarsure in Alibaug, Maharashtra was the client brief when he came to us with this project. The house has since evolved into a series of sloping cowl tiled roofs housing semi-private, semi-open spaces that attach themselves to each sequentially, adorned with vaulted ceilings, exposed bricks roofs, paneled doors and windows. Ornate wrought iron grills form the gateways for vistas into the internal courts and external landscaped grounds. Polished and river washed stones form the flooring in the public spaces, while different coloured IPS is used in the bedrooms and bathrooms to create a homogeneity of the floors and walls.
