Veiled Villa: Villa Architecture & Interior Design in Banashankari, Bengaluru

Veiled Villa is a 5,500 sq ft residence planned for Sandeep Residence on a 30 x 45 ft plot in Banashankari, Bengaluru. With architecture and interior design forming the scope of the project, the brief placed privacy at the centre of the design, particularly for the family's bedrooms.

Banashankari is one of South Bangalore's more densely built residential areas, with neighbouring compounds often visible from upper-floor windows. Sandeep wanted the home to provide a strong sense of privacy while still feeling bright, open, and architecturally considered rather than closed off.

The design uses a veiled facade, a fine-mesh perforated metal scrim positioned slightly away from the building envelope and wrapped around the upper two floors, where the bedrooms are located. The mesh density was carefully planned to obscure views into the 5,500 sq ft home from the street and neighbouring properties while allowing the family to maintain a largely unobstructed view from inside. This creates everyday privacy without relying on constantly closed curtains or small windows.

The ground floor, which accommodates the family's living, dining, and entertaining spaces, sits below the veil and has a more open character. Larger glazed openings connect the interiors to the landscaped front setback, while warm sandstone cladding grounds the lower portion of the facade. Inside, the perforated facade language continues through woven textile wall panels and screens in the bedrooms. Linen-toned upholstery and light ash wood flooring add warmth while keeping the interiors soft and understated.
