Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of the CuE-1/6 house by Portal 92, a contemporary home nestled within the lush greens of the Jaypee Golf Course in Greater Noida, India. This private residence, redesigned in 2022, presents a harmonious blend of nature and architecture, with its design elements inviting, observing, capturing, and framing the surrounding environment. The exterior, a sophisticated interplay of steel and aluminium, masks the structural framing system, while the interior houses a wild courtyard, a dense forest within the built structure.
Each space within the house offers varied experiences, exposed to the vast manicured greens of the golf course and overlooking the wild courtyard. The CuE-1/6 house, a testament to the design prowess of Portal 92, is more than a residence—it’s an observatory, romancing the landscape around it, and allowing it to percolate within.
