The House on Pali Hill designed by Studio Mumbai Architects is a small sanctuary in the urban setting of Bandra, Maharashtra, India. Surrounded by trees, the multilevel home consists of floating stairs cases and long windows that encourage natural light to brighten the interior of the home. The central focal point of the home is the open courtyard that sits in the middle of the home and is equipped with a garden and small pond. Sliding windows, doors and bug screens give the home the luxury of privacy and the simple lines of the home contrast with the chaos of the outside urban environment.
