Discuss your project ↗Service overview / 01
A more personal way to plan a home.
A villa or duplex gives room to consider how private and shared spaces fit together. Light, privacy, outdoor space and the transition between levels can all change how a home feels.
The first step is a considered brief: the site, the household, the spaces you need now and how those needs may change.

Four ways to frame the brief. The scope of any engagement is defined after reviewing the project.

The Laxmi approach / 04
Attention where it matters.
Planning, design and site decisions are stronger when they are considered together.
Quality in the details
The plan, the structure and the finishing decisions all deserve the same attention.
Design with purpose
Space should work for the people who use it, long after the first impression.
Clear conversations
A shared understanding of scope and priorities makes better decisions possible.
Connected coordination
Architecture, engineering and site work should move as one process.
Questions / 06
Before we begin.
Answers to common questions about villa & duplex development.
01Can I enquire before I have a final design?
Yes. A site plan and a list of priorities are enough to begin discussing the brief.
02What is the difference between a villa and a duplex brief?
A villa is typically planned as a standalone home. A duplex brief places particular attention on how living spaces connect across two levels.
03Can the design account for future family needs?
Future flexibility can be part of the planning brief. Share the changes you expect so they can be considered early.
04Are villa and duplex projects in the current portfolio?
The published portfolio currently shows residential developments. A villa or duplex engagement would need separate scope confirmation.
