Doctor’s Villa
Karnataka · 2025
A tropical-modern family villa with twin gabled wings, a central pool court and a long run of dark-frame Woodminium bifold sliders that open the living wing entirely to the deck.
Built around a central swimming pool and Mangalore-tile gabled roofs, this villa pairs exposed brick, cut stone and timber with a complete Woodminium glazing envelope. The pool-facing living wing opens through a wide bank of dark anthracite bifold sliders, while bedrooms upstairs use walnut wood-grain casements and large picture windows framed into the brick. French doors, louvered ventilators, fixed glazing and matched mesh shutters round out a single coordinated system across the house.
The story
The architects wanted the pool to feel like an extension of the living room - so the entire pool elevation was detailed as a stackable bifold wall. Slim anthracite-grey aluminium frames disappear against the shadow line of the upper balcony, and when fully open the living, dining and family areas read as one covered verandah.
Upstairs, the brick gable ends are punched with large fixed picture windows in walnut wood-grain frames - sized to capture the coconut canopy and the inner courtyard tile roof. A double-height landing window overlooks the entry courtyard, while bedroom windows use sliding sashes with integrated mesh for monsoon nights.
Service and side elevations use top-hung ventilators, louvered timber-finish vents and matched French doors - every opening drawn from the same Woodminium hardware family, so the villa reads as one piece of detailing from the front gate to the rear utility yard.
