In the dining area, an art nouveau glass chandelier hangs above a banana table and bench by Thakur; the Gaudígarden chairs are vintage. The table is set with Mohenjodaro crockery from the design temple and Kansa glasses. A crackled white Chinese urn sits in a corner.

The cot—with its overhanging net cover—sits on carefully restored 100-year-old original embossed cement tiles, against deep-green concrete walls. The art deco revolving chair and green pomegranate pendant lamps are from chor bazaar!

AD heads to Villa Uma in Alibag. At first, we had only seen abstract, atmospheric shots of Villa Uma to start a conversation with Sam Barclay of Case Design .in and homeowner Mansi Poddar (). The exceptional design and sustainability story behind this project emerged.

New issue alert.
Shot for this stunning property designed by and is gem not the missed!!

For our November-December issue, AD sets off for Alibag, where we discover a sweeping weekend home, made in collaboration by two accomplished AD100 firms—Architecture Brio () and Kunal Maniar & Associates ().

We caught our first glimpse of the home from afar while driving up a slope, and saw it resting on a mountainside. It gradually revealed its volume and scale, as the aged stonework rose high above like a chapel. It’s remarkable when the ideologies of the makers match and a vision is aligned. To not flatten vast expanses of land for construction but instead play so poetically with the contours of a site; to not give in to the temptation of putting glass and concrete boxes on hillsides; and to let it be a little wild, a bit of a jungle, with a trail going up and down and around. For our last issue of the year, we wanted to leave you with a solid, beautiful and respectful, architecturally strong project.

This cover story is classic AD: a considered point of view on architecture, nature, materiality, space, and a subtle, remote luxury.
