Final view of Mr Kumar’s gated community residence
Introducing a multi-unit residence, a beacon of urban smart living with unique features and design. Our clients approached us with a vision to create a multi-unit residence with a 40×60 house design. This modern home, set in bustling city surroundings, is not just another residential project. We’ve incorporated thoughtful spatial planning and design elements that make the most of the 2400 sq. ft., ensuring privacy, ventilation, and comfort for each unit.
Project Description
Plot dimension: 40’x60’ plot home
Site orientation: North-facing house
Location: BSR Akruthi Green Wood, Jigani
Type: Gated community residence

Project Breakdown
This well-optimized 40×60 house design accommodates six residential units:
Ground Floor: One 3BHK and one 2BHK unit
First Floor: Four modern studio apartments
Common Areas: Lobby areas and corridors on both levels provide easy, private access to every unit. Corridors are aligned along the eastern side for optimal circulation within the 40×60 house design.
Design Process
We presented multiple zoning layout options based on the client’s requirements for the 40×60 house design. Our process involved balancing design creativity with regulatory and site-based constraints.
The first zoning option shows the basic layouts with circulation and ventilation.
The clients aligned with this option as it was feasible for them in the 40×60 plot home. However, a few changes were made in the discussions that followed. The circulation core in the front gives a good opportunity to explore the elevations with the staircase. As this staircase follows the terrace, we have many options and space to explore with various cladding materials and other elevation elements.
The first floor of the same zoning option shows the single-bedroom units arranged one after the other.
For comparison, let us explore the other zoning options, too. Here is the parent’s bedroom project along the front. Also, the single units on the first floor are misaligned towards the front, unlike the first floor in the previous option.

The first option was feasible for the 40×60 house design without compromising the setback. Also, the elevation we developed after the planning stage looked interesting because of the staircase element on the northwest. The corridors and lobby in the east allow greens to be included in the balcony parts.
Ground Floor Highlights
The ground floor of this 40×60 house design is home to two spacious family units:
1. The 3BHK includes a large living room, master bedroom, guest room, parent’s bedroom, spacious kitchen, and ample storage.
2. The 2BHK is ideal for a mid-sized family, offering essential amenities in a well-ventilated and private layout.
Balconies and decks are introduced where possible, with large windows ensuring daylight and a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.
