While walking around the site to understand the aura of that place, Architect Krishnarao Jaisim was quick to notice the presence of Banni trees all around. That, along with the owners always welcoming everyone to their house, he knew the residence had to be called “Banni Residence“ because the word Banni in Kannada means 'Please Come'. The owners wanted an organically flowing house, fully made of local and natural materials. A house that would breathe by itself; Spaces where light can play around and create some drama throughout the day, but most importantly, a house where spaces can be flexible and undefined.
