3 Bedroom Duplex in Kumaraswamy Layout

The brief: two flats, one family home

What began as two separate flats was reimagined as one cohesive home for two generations of the same family.

The challenge was not simply to combine spaces, but to create a home where different generations could live together while still maintaining a sense of privacy, independence and connection.

Spatial response: connection with independence

The existing roof was removed to create a stronger vertical relationship between the two levels. The planning was carefully reworked to create distinct zones for each generation without making the home feel divided.

Natural light, openness and visual connections were introduced wherever possible, allowing the spaces to feel larger and more connected.

Materials: the connecting MS staircase

A new MS staircase became an important architectural element connecting the home.

The result is a 3-bedroom duplex that balances togetherness with individuality — a home designed around the way the family actually lives.
