Project Overview
The Idea Behind the Space.
The Ridge Villa is a coastal retreat set on a sloping site above the Bay of Bengal. The brief asked for a home that celebrates the view while staying comfortable in a hot, humid climate.

Design Challenge
Understanding the Constraints.
Strong sea winds, salt air, and intense afternoon sun required a robust envelope, and the slope made level outdoor space difficult to achieve.
[03]
Design Strategy
A Direction Built Around the Brief.
The house steps down the ridge in three terraces, each with a shaded outdoor room. Deep roof overhangs and cross-ventilated plans reduce reliance on mechanical cooling.

Material & Detail
The Character Is in the Details.
Board-formed concrete, weathered timber cladding, and local stone are chosen for durability in a marine setting. Pale interior finishes reflect soft coastal light.

Final Outcome
A Cohesive Spatial Experience.
The concept frames the sea from every level while keeping the interiors shaded and cool. It offers a calm, durable retreat shaped by its landscape and climate.
