A Countryside Escape

© mancini enterprises

Located in the South-Indian countryside, with sweeping of the nearby holy mountain, this home is a stunning escape from the hustle and bustle of Mumbai. The compound is comprised of three separate structures that are situated around landscaped gardens, and forests. It was designed in 2009 by Mancini architects. (ABOVE) The modern design stands out, but still has a way of blending into its natural surroundings. The thick flat roof is made of wood. I love all the natural boulders and how they fit into the landscaping. (BELOW 1) The main home is made of stucco. I am a huge fan of the unusual shape of the home. The exterior walls are not flat, but rather angular. (BELOW 2) This separate structure is raised and has views of the grounds below. The wood shutters are absolutely wonderful as they provide both privacy and ventilation. (BELOW 3) The pool house features a large overhung roof. At night the pool looks gorgeous with all its lighting. Rather than being tiled around the pool the owner preferred to have it grassed so that the area has a more natural look. What do you think of this South-Indian countryside home?
