Weekend Villa by R+R Architects Blends Balinese Tropical Architecture with Modern Indian Context

R+R Architects, led by Ramesh Lohar and Bindi Shah, has designed a weekend villa in Ahmedabad, India, that merges Balinese tropical architecture with a distinctly modern Indian context. The project, covering 6,000 square feet and slated for completion in 2026, is conceived as a contemporary retreat that dissolves boundaries between resort living and residential comfort. The villa is described as an immersive sanctuary, inspired by Balinese tropical architecture while remaining rooted in a modern Indian setting. It celebrates leisure, craftsmanship, and an evocative material palette through a carefully choreographed spatial experience. The design was curated by Miwa Negoro, with photography by Ishita Sitwala of The Fishy Project. The project was featured on ArchDaily, with the original description provided in Spanish. The villa is located in the tranquil outskirts of Ahmedabad, emphasizing a serene environment. The architects aim to create a home that integrates resort-like amenities with residential warmth, highlighting the importance of materiality and spatial flow. The project reflects a growing trend in Indian architecture to incorporate international influences while maintaining local identity. The completion year is set for 2026, and the villa is categorized under residential architecture.
