Ambara, a warm and welcoming home, is like a puzzle with a 1000 pieces, slowly pieced together with the right hands, the spaces come alive. The colors are vivid,the design sparks uniqueness and an ingenious glass sky-light at forty odd feet steals the show. In the context of where the site itself is located, achieving an atmosphere of serene calm inside a home, a home that sits within the busy-bustling city of Bangalore seems almost pretentious and borderline fictitious, but to do so convincingly is no mean feat. The area of the site being compact with three abutting neighboring plots, the main idea was to bring in light from the centralsky-light. One can gaze into the sky from the oval, as it is fondly called, and watch the clouds slowly sail by while sitting in the comfort of their own home. Hence,there is no doubt as to why the home is named “Ambara'', sky in the local language of Kannada.The stairwell is that moves eloquently through the house designed to ensure that natural light propagates through all floors of the home making it a sight worth seeing. The use of natural materials such as terracotta jaalis along with exposed brick walls, recycled wood and raw pink stone give the home an earthy feel. The Structure as a whole adapts to the semi-tropical climate of Bengaluru while also being sustainable and green. An example of such adaptivity is the oddly shaped,amoeboid basement which stays relatively cooler compared to the surroundings. The First floor boasts a playfully meandering terracotta filler slab which is quite the architectural marvel. The windows to the west of the home are angled towards to occlude the harsh evening sunlight and serve as a nice view-point towards a children's playground around the corner. The facade of the home is sheltered by trees, a rather common feature in most of the homes built by Wright Inspires. The firm believes nature changes the way you work, think and create and it forms an integral part of everyday life. Boasting a great atmosphere, pleasing interiors, unique design and happy clients, WrightInspires welcomes you into the house of Shruthi—Santosh, Ambara !
