Deccan House is a single-storey villa in a gated community on the outskirts of Hyderabad, organized around a stone wall that serves as the principal planning element. It separates the service areas from the social and private spaces, establishing a clear spatial hierarchy and a coherent plan.

The house is articulated as two linear volumes set at an angle to one another. One volume contains the private realm of the house, while the other accommodates the service functions, reinforcing the distinction between the intimate and utilitarian spaces. Between them, a glazed living and dining space is conceived as a void, opening to the landscape on the north and forming the social core of the house.

The house is defined by a restrained palette of stone, timber, steel, and marble. The stone wall anchors the composition, balanced by the lightness of a timber-clad steel roof. Exposed timber ceilings, timber-lined walls, travertine, and beige Italian marble create a warm, tactile interior, while cobblestone paving extends the material language into the landscape.

The landscape is conceived as a natural extension of the architecture, with a stone-paved pathway connecting the house to a series of outdoor spaces, including a campfire, a swimming pool, and a standalone barbecue pavilion. Existing mature trees have been retained and integrated into the layout, while dense, naturalistic planting allows the garden to remain unobtrusive and become an integral part of everyday life.
