Lavish Contemporary Home in New Delhi Puts Nature Center Stage

A contemporary family retreat that interacts with the landscape around it, the Bridge House in New Delhi is set on a lovely 2.5 acre lot and boasts a living area of 17,500 square feet. In reality though, this exquisite residence goes beyond the constraints of its glass walls, as it creates a flowing indoor-outdoor interplay that defines its true essence. The C-shaped structure of the house is based around a relaxing pool and deck area, as well as a tree that is more than 75 years old! Nature is cleverly and aesthetically combined with the interior of this Indian home at every turn, with the lower level living area / family zone and the balconies on the top floor opening up towards the mesmerizing rear courtyard.

Design of the gorgeous home is defined by the landscape and the pool courtyard

Designed by DADA & Partners, it is the lower level of the expansive house that contains the family room, living area, dining space, kitchen and other formal space, while the top floor contains additional bedrooms and bathrooms. A separate wing on the lower level contains the master suite and is connected with the main wing using a glass and steel walkway. A stylish fireplace delineates the dining area and family room on the ground floor, even as a fascinating staircase steals the spotlight with its ingenious design that turns the space underneath into a Zen-style escape.
