The project

The concept

A cocktail snack — cheese, pineapple, a skewer — became a facade. A typical cocktail snack — a skewered cube of cheese and a piece of pineapple — inspired this house. The startling combination of brown and white streaks on the icing of a cake Srinath Advani saw at a bakery, on the way to buy pastries for a party, gave the rich look that caught his attention. By the time he returned home, he had already visualised a design for a client's house he was working on. The result: the icing on the cake became a pivotal point for the building, with a brown-and-white facade. This house is on Devanahalli Road, close to the ITC factory.

Detail

For an architect like Srinath Advani, a design is like looking out of a window on a dark night and then patiently recreating a landscape seen during a split second of lightning. Architecture must be in his genes: his father, R. S. Advani, is a well-known architect in the city whose designs have particularly fond, and often unusual, origins.

In the architect's words
