Located in a quiet upmarket residential area close to the grounds of the historic Bangalore Palace, this residential building consists of a simple, minimalistic white volume, floating on a glassy, more transparent base. The two contrasting volumes are tied together visually by vertical fins of varying thicknesses that terminate at the terrace level, making the building appear much taller than it actually is.
