A grand riverside estate nestled along the Ganges in Murshidabad, synthesizing classical Nawabi heritage proportions with contemporary tropical minimalism.
Commissioned for a distinguished family, the villa draws deep inspiration from Bengal's traditional 'Baganbari' (garden retreat). Water bodies wrap around living pavilions to cool the arriving river breezes before entering shaded verandas.
Locally sourced terracotta bricks, handcrafted stone jalis, and native timber are paired with sleek structural cantilevers. The villa's orientation is tuned to the cardinal axes in accordance with authentic Vaastu principles.
A series of stepped pavilions step down gracefully toward the water's edge, preserving mature native trees that have stood on the property for over four decades.
