Perched atop the lush Nilgiris, the Coonoor residence invites one to live in the lap of nature. The structure gathers views of the plantations and the forest beyond. The residence is gently crafted as a play of levels, gathering the forest’s views at every turn. The upper levels nurture living spaces where life unfolds, while the lower levels adapt to quieter bedrooms and open gazebos. This thoughtful layering allows each corner to breathe with nature, creating a home that invites the outdoors in and weaves a connection between landscape and living. The Coonoor Residence is designed to gather nature into every moment of living. North-facing floor-to-ceiling windows, light wells, and gentle skylights invite daylight to breathe through the home, nurturing warmth even in the colder months. Each element adapts to the rhythms of its surroundings, creating interiors that feel open and connected to the landscape.
