Set within the coffee-laden landscape of Chikmagalur, Anantya is conceived as a retreat that aligns with a slower, reflective way of living. The architecture draws from the familiarity of estate life, where built form and landscape exist in continuity. Organized largely on a single level, the house allows ease of movement while establishing a series of open, light-filled spaces that extend toward gardens on all sides.

Verandahs and courts soften the transition between inside and outside, allowing nature to remain a constant presence. Spatial planning is guided by clarity and balance, creating a rhythm of social and private zones. A restrained palette of natural materials lends the house a quiet permanence. The result is a home that feels grounded and enduring, where everyday life unfolds in close dialogue with light, air, and the surrounding terrain.
