In March 2022, the Council of Architecture, India announced a two-stage competition for its Centre of Excellence, Bangalore. Anthill Design was one of the five teams that eventually made it to the final shortlist.
The design idea by Jamaliah Arkitects is to provide a beautiful contemporary house creating exciting spaces and surprising elements featuring in the building. As a way of life, the house should provide a complete living web that reflects the lifestyle of their family.
The success of the architecture lies in the fact that every corner you turn, the drama of the house and the view that it captures changes and moves along with you. The structure is an ode to the beauty of the mountains that surround it.
Designed by Rajeev Kathpalia, Partner at Vastu Shilpa Consultants, the proposed design echoes the vision of Nalanda University as the campus of the future, at the forefront of global education and the hub of intellectual excellence. The master plan adopts sustainable practices at every phase of the project and to achieve social and economic integration with the local community.
