Oku is an exploration of memory, material, and meaning. It is an architectural manifestation of cultural continuity, where design serves as a vessel for lived histories, tactile traditions, and the silent poetry of craftsmanship. Here, the home is not designed as a passive enclosure but as an immersive, sensory-rich environment—one that resonates with the textures of the past while embracing the fluidity of the present.

Located in a quiet neighborhood of Bangalore, this 4,300-square-foot residence transcends conventional definitions of luxury. The Furr Studio redefines the notion of "luxury" through the depth of material authenticity, the precision of handcrafted details, and the seamless integration between architecture and lived experience.

Every plane, every surface, and every transition is imbued with an unspoken narrative—one that is felt as much as it is seen. With an emphasis on crafted tactility, spatial fluidity, and an enduring connection to heritage, the home stands as a testament to a way of living that values nuance over novelty, depth over decoration, and meaning over mere aesthetics.

The ground floor unfolds in a sequence of interconnected yet distinct spaces, each shaped by a meticulous balance of function, emotion, and spatial fluidity. The living area, bathed in natural light, embodies the philosophy of warmth and material depth. Here, a carefully selected material palette—locally sourced wood, textured wall finishes, and soft furnishings—creates an environment that is both tactile and inviting.

Adjacent to the living area, the dining space serves as a nexus of interaction, designed to foster communal experiences. A custom-crafted dining table, hewn from solid wood, becomes the anchor of this space, complemented by lighting that accentuates its raw beauty. The integration of art, ranging from curated paintings to handwoven textiles, further reinforces the home’s narrative of cultural continuity.

The master suite is envisioned as an immersive experience where materiality and memory coalesce. A curated selection of handcrafted textiles, bespoke furniture, and sculptural lighting pieces defines the space, ensuring that every element resonates with the client’s cultural roots. Large operable windows, set within deep recesses, invite natural light while ensuring thermal comfort. The ensuite bath, adorned with natural stone and tactile finishes, extends the narrative of crafted luxury.

At the heart of the project is a commitment to material authenticity and sustainable craftsmanship. Locally sourced wood, artisanal finishes, and handmade elements define the spatial experience, ensuring that every surface tells a story. In the end, this home is not just lived in—it is felt, experienced, and remembered, a space where history and modernity intertwine in an ever-evolving dialogue.
