The Heart of the Home: North-Facing Verandah

A deep, linear north-facing verandah forms the nucleus of the house, linking living, dining, and recreational spaces. This modern house with verandah integrates indoor and outdoor areas, inviting natural light, breezes, and scenic views. The verandah acts as both a mediator and vibrant social space, blending the home’s architecture with the surrounding landscape while creating dynamic, all-weather outdoor experiences.

Layered Architecture and Massing

The building employs layered architecture, breaking the mass into individual segments and bringing them together in carefully considered layers. This layered massing reduces the perceived scale, enhances visual interest, and fosters intimacy despite the home’s size. Courtyards, terraces, and open volumes are positioned to optimize daylight, ventilation, and connectivity, reinforcing the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces.

A Contemporary Home Rooted in Tradition

Layered House exemplifies a verandah house where traditional spatial principles meet modern design. Through thoughtful layering, light-filled volumes, and landscaped courtyards, the residence harmonizes scale, materiality, and human-centric architecture to create a serene, connected, and timeless home.

At Unseen Architects, we believe that great architecture happens when great patrons support it. As Edwin Lutyens said, “There will never be great architects or great architecture without great patrons.” Your trust and vision help us turn bold ideas into reality. We’re always looking for clients who appreciate our work and want to make a difference—no matter the size or type of project. Together, we can create meaningful spaces that transform the built environment.
