About Project

Biksha House is envisioned as a sanctuary of devotion and mindful living, shaped around the belief that everything in life is received as biksha—a blessing from the divine. Designed for a family deeply aligned with the Isha philosophy, the home expresses a serene spiritual identity through the honest use of stone, wood and elemental textures.The foyer, understated yet finely composed, features a granite vilakku maadam and traditional thoran painting, establishing a ceremonial beginning. The journey begins with an unobstructed view of the Pooja space directly from the foyer, elevated like a sacred platform, anchored by an intrinsic stone pillar and a Mangalore-tiled roof that evokes temple sensibilities. The flooring palette weaves together granite with copper kolam inlays, and an entry corridor of Jaisalmer stone partnered with black marble and granite insets, setting a ceremonial rhythm of movement. Spatial openness and privacy coexist through thoughtful gestures such as the delicate wooden pillar demarcating the kitchen and dining, and a minimal living area that extends into a tranquil deck featuring a statue and waterbody. The interiors embrace individuality, with each bedroom designed to reflect the personality and preferences of its occupant. At the heart of the home, an atrium with artistically carved railings connects the levels, leading to a first-floor living area with a home office and a cozy bay window. The meditation and yoga room, enclosed by exquisitely carved double doors and surrounded by ethnic hand-painted divine murals, forms the spiritual epicenter—an atmosphere steeped in calm and reflection. A harmonious blend of tradition, craft and modern amenities, Biksha House stands as a heartfelt offering—a home that breathes devotion and quiet strength in every detail.
