The clients asked the design studio to create a home that is on an angular plot that is surrounded by three sides by villas nearby. It is home to an extended family of eight and delivers a brief that called for a [large garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hidden-villa) and the preservation of the three large trees in the area. Studio Symbiosis states that "In urban settings, there is a disconnect between the user and nature. With this project we are looking at creating [green urban living](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hedge-and-arbour-house), to rekindle the relationship of the residents with nature in their immediate surroundings."
