Small Jewel Box | SASW

Bangalore-based architecture and interior design practice- SASW Architecture- has completed ‘the Jewel Box’ project, which is indeed a luxury home, though formed in a small site, with spaces and volumes, evokes a feel of mansion with copious natural light and ventilation, expanding volumetrically. According to the firm, it was conceptualized as an urban house to accommodate the aspirations of two generations. The project christened as Jewel Box due to the highlighted box in elevation, sitting as a Jewel at top. Quite interesting!

Planning of the project was evolved from the firm’s own experiences of joint family setup, in the urban context, thus resulting in an effort to achieve a balance with the context of the spaces and their relationship between the generations.

Preliminary level of planning kick-started with resolving serious parking issues to house 4 cars. Allocating all parking along with a home office and service quarters at road level, eased the process of achieving habitable space allocations at the upper levels.

All the functions are divided floor wise. The first level holds the living, a guest bedroom, kitchen, dining and a Pooja court.
