NANU HOUSE | A Sculptural Framework for Social Living
Designed by Ar. Ankur Jindal and Ar. Sarvesh Jain, Nanu House is a luxury weekend home located on the outskirts of Indore. Spread across approximately 9,735 sq. ft., the residence was designed around a programme that combines private living with spaces for frequent gatherings and entertainment. Its architectural language is defined by parametric geometry, sculptural volumes and a series of customised interior elements.
The façade is developed through a composition of parametric and angular forms, with tapering walls and intersecting volumes creating depth across the building envelope. Rather than treating the façade as a flat surface, the design uses geometry to generate variations in projection, shadow and visual mass. Curved and faceted elements create a dynamic elevation while responding to the internal organisation of the house.
The planning is structured around a central circulation spine inspired by the branching pattern of a tree. From this central axis, circulation extends towards the different functional zones, establishing a clear relationship between the living, dining, kitchen and outdoor areas. The bedrooms are positioned away from the main social spaces, providing a greater degree of privacy.
The bedrooms adopt a comparatively quieter approach. The master bedroom incorporates a geometric metal-and-rattan headboard and maintains a visual connection with the pool, while an outdoor shower extends the experience towards the exterior. The guest bedrooms use softer colours and individual layouts, creating variation within the overall design language.
