Every project is an opportunity to translate a vision into a luxurious living experience. The recently completed G+2 residence for Mr. Venkat exemplifies our approach to modern urban design, where spatial efficiency, biophilic integration (which brings the natural world into the built environment), and architectural clarity come together to define a truly indulgent luxury. This project is a stunning example of a contemporary west facing house plan tailored for a 40’x50’ urban plot.

Site orientation: West-facing plot
Site dimension: 40’ x 50’
Built-up area: 5000 sq. ft. approx.
Project location: Hulimavu, Bengaluru

Elevation Detailing
The architectural composition is a testament to our ability to balance boldness and warmth perfectly. Large openings, framed in dark-toned trims, ensure abundant daylight and cross-ventilation. Vertical wooden screens add texture, privacy, and solar shading, while the projecting balconies wrapped in planter beds soften the overall form.
Each floor is not just a level; it’s a warm, inviting face to the urban landscape. Horizontal planes layered with greens, wood textures, and recessed lighting create a welcoming atmosphere you’ll love coming home to.
Our design process is a collaborative journey, where we deeply value our clients’ input. We incorporated a few revisions based on the client’s requirements to arrive at the final elevation concept. The initial design for this west facing house plan is similar to the final idea except for a few changes in the textures and materials.
Initial Design Proposal for the G+2 Residence
A few more details were added to the initial design before the final design arrived.
Greenery isn’t an afterthought in this G+2 residence; it’s an integral part of the architecture. From the layered planter beds on each level to the terrace garden, these greens serve aesthetic and functional purposes: providing shade, improving air quality, and enhancing privacy. This integration is a subtle nod to biophilic design principles, which aim to connect people and nature, bringing the natural world’s benefits into the core of urban living.

Spatial Planning and Understanding
The home follows a thoughtfully structured west facing house plan with a G+2 layout. The entrance includes a welcoming water body that acts as both a formal and functional threshold. It introduces a defined entry zone, landscape features, and parking, creating a visual buffer from the street and transitioning into a tranquil private zone.
Water body in the ground floor parking area
The ground floor contains public-facing spaces like a small informal living room, a guest bedroom, and a multipurpose hall. Along with outer decks, landscaping, and parking, this area sets the tone for visitors.

The first floor focuses on family life, featuring a formal living room, dining area, and modular kitchen. There’s seamless movement between rooms and generous views of the outdoor greens. A double-height cut-out expands the volume, making the 40’x50’ home feel larger and brighter.
The living space opens up to a balcony that enhances the west facing house plan both visually and functionally.

The second floor houses more private zones like a family lounge and spacious bedrooms, each with attached balconies and seating areas.

The terrace serves as a recreational retreat with a semi-covered sit-out under a pergola—ideal for workouts, evening chats, or morning coffee. A dedicated gym space rounds out this upper-level haven, reflecting thoughtful space optimisation in this west facing house plan.
