The Gupta Residence

The facade is composed as a dialogue between two distinct architectural voices. On the left, a bold vertical screen of dark charcoal louvres rises the full height of the building: graphic, precise and unapologetically contemporary. On the right, arched openings stacked across three floors recall a softer, more classical sensibility. Between and above both, nature has the final word: lush trailing plants cascade from rooftop planters, bougainvillea blooms at street level, and every balcony is dense with green.

The interplay of crisp white plaster, dark louvred fins and abundant planting gives the home a layered depth that changes with the hour and the season. In the morning, light filters through the louvres in long, raking lines. By evening, the arched balconies glow warmly from within, framed by foliage. The house is never static: it is a living elevation.

Designed for a doctor couple, the home reflects a sensibility that values calm, nature and considered beauty over display. Currently under construction, the residence is set to become one of the more distinctive addresses on its street: a home that earns its presence not through scale, but through the intelligence and care of its design.
