Firm: THE CROSSBOUNDARIES
Imagine a place of serenity and awakening by a tranquil river. A flurry of bird sounds becomes a constant backdrop for a space of calm shadows, witnessing the playful movement of time. Amidst this lushness and rustic setting, a composition of stark gray and whites sits like a pristine object on the river’s edge. This is Kalrav a weekend villa designed by The Crossboundaries, perched on the banks of the beautiful river Mahi. The building layout as essentially a thin linear strip, parallel to the river, brings the advantages of east-facing views and uninterrupted vistas. As a design feature, the entrance area is at an angle, slightly changing the visitor’s orientation, before arriving at the sun-filled court. The presence of a placid water body, both at the entrance and the back porch, instantly brings a riverine connection, and soothes the body and mind!
