A Multi-Generational Bangalore Home With Warm Modern Design
2 Video Views·Dec 15, 2025
Vyōmam is envisioned as a residence that mirrors the homeowner’s expansive life in aerospace while grounding the family in a serene, nature-led environment. Rooted in Vastu principles, the home unites light, ventilation, and earthy materiality into a cohesive, modern yet timeless spatial narrative.
Courtyards, skylights, and fluid volumes dissolve boundaries between indoors and outdoors, creating moments of calm across communal zones. Textures like gabion walls, fluted concrete, and rubble masonry enrich the architecture, while crafted details, colour palettes, and art curate an atmosphere of warmth and familial identity.
Each private space reflects its inhabitant through tailored palettes, natural materials, and subtle craft accents. Together, these elements transform Vyōmam into a multigenerational sanctuary that celebrates memory, belonging, and shared rituals, across generations.
Born from the Sanskrit for sky,
Vyomam is where the sky folds into a home,
a place where vastness meets belonging.
It's like a dialogue between earth and nether.
Here, architecture does not merely build a shelter,
it actually shapes serenity and connection and continuity.
Hi, I'm Amira from Bodhi Design Studio.
Join me for an exclusive home tour of Vyomam in Bengaluru.

So this house is designed for Ramsar.
He is a defence specialist and aerospace engineer.
Ramsar's passion towards his work and interest to innovation
actually inspired this name Vyomam,
which means boundless sky.
This project is located in an 8400 square feet northeast corner plot
in a serene gated community in Sarjapur Road called Sunny Brooks.
So this green cover and the climate
actually inspired us to go for a porous architecture
where there's a dialogue between the built and unbuilt.
So if you look at the elevation,
it's mainly fluted concrete panels, random rubble cladding
and white walls and with greenery around.
We worked around two axis for spatial planning,
a east-west axis and a north-south axis.
So after leaving a considerable garden space in the front,
we placed the car parking in the back
and created a pedestrian entry along the axis.
So we enter into a foyer after a veranda,
which is next to a water body.
This water body acts like a threshold between the built and unbuilt.
The front veranda with this northeast garden
is one of the favorite spaces for the clients
where we have a deck which is planned
around the already existing tree.
So we enter into a foyer
and from the foyer to the left we have the living room.
Now from the formal living,
we go up into the dining area.
So when you open the main door,
your focus goes into the central courtyard
with this mural in the front.
This is a courtyard that kind of anchors
this entire three floors together.
As a family, what matters the most to them
is the shared memories and conversations
and the stories they've shared together.
So keeping this in mind,
we approached House of Bursk, Priyanka Thakkar
and shared our thoughts with her.
So you can see this 3D mural here
and as well as the background one.
The glass staircase from first floor to second floor
with the red metal frame
is almost like floating.
It is suspended above this courtyard
and as an extension to that,
connecting with Ramsar's work
and connecting to the Viyomam as a concept,
we have this paper rocket inspired installation
designed by our team.
This is the puja room of the house
placed in the northeast quadrant for Vastu
and it's surrounded by this water body.
The sound of water is very soothing
and gives a meditative feel to the space.
Opposite to the puja, we have the family living.
This is strategically placed this way
to make sure when there's a puja gathering,
the family living also extends as a gathering space.
To break the monotony
and the rigid feel,
we have added curves to it
to make it more interesting
and this kind of defines the puja space.
At the end of the axis,
we have the staircase.
Here you come up from the staircase
to the mezzanine area
where we have created an office space.
Even on the sliding door,
we have multiple colors coming in
and as a backdrop of the study,
we have an interesting green texture paint.
And from the study,
we have an opening to a wooden deck
in the northeast corner
which is shaded by the tree
and this can also be accessed
from the spiral staircase from the ground floor.
In first floor,
we first reach the first floor family living
which is connected to the double height family living
and it also has a balcony to the front.
From this first floor lobby space,
we access Prithvi's room.
From the family living,
we have the floating red metal staircase
taking you to the next floor.
For us as a team,
it is not just a staircase,
it's an art piece in itself.
Go through this corridor
to access the master bedroom
in the southwest
that overlooks the courtyard.
On this side,
we have a second floor family living room
where Kartik and Sharanya enjoy their evenings.
So, client-architect relationship
is very critical
to bring out an interesting design.
I would say
we at Bodhi feel
we should create spaces
that sit in harmony with the context.
So, this philosophy has helped us
create aesthetic and practical spaces.
A house is not just architecture,
it is a space, a living home
where the character is created
by the people living in it.
