Located in Gulshan, Dhaka, this 3-story single family residence transforms urban living into a tranquil oasis, nestled amidst high-rise surroundings. Designed with a south-facing orientation, the home maximizes natural light while its clean white exterior stands out against lush greenery, creating a harmonious balance of modern design and natural elements. The site’s strategic landscaping, with green roofs, solar panels, and expansive terraces, integrates sustainable features into the architecture. The exterior showcases horizontal slatted fences and concrete walls blended with bamboo and tropical plants, casting dynamic shadows that enhance the building’s aesthetic. Landscaped gardens with stepping concrete slabs and stones lead to functional family spaces, fostering a connection with the outdoors. Inside, the layout features open living areas with large windows framing verdant views, complemented by neutral tones and contemporary furnishings. Vertical green walls in hallways and rooms blur the line between interior and exterior, while a rooftop pool reflects the surrounding greenery, adding a recreational focal point.
