Crystal Hall, located at Bangalore, India was designed as a private residence that incorporates the concepts of vernacular architecture with modern materials and technology. Surrounded by orchards, it seeks to establish the connection between man and nature. With white walls and glassy interiors, the focus was keeping the space uncluttered and minimalistic. All materials used were upcycled from the excess during construction, ensuring near-zero wastage. Designed to be environmentally conscious, it provides thermal, visual, and aural insulation, while being faithful to its aesthetic philosophy.
