Angadi Heritage, the flagship — The House of Angadi

The building

Modern classicism, with Dravidian bones

A white Art Deco facade on a quiet Jayanagar road. Brass-framed windows that take their cue from Vidhana Soudha. Stone chosen after a search of quarries across the country.

Inside, a double-height courtyard under a chandelier forty feet long, Italian marble underfoot, and furniture rescued from the old houses of the south: Burmese panel shelves, Chettinad columns, teak wardrobes. Chola bronzes and Tanjore paintings mark the founder’s roots. A terrace garden sits on top; the building recycles its own wastewater.

The architects were Somaya & Kalappa Consultants with the conservation practice Abha Narain Lambah Associates, working to K. H. Radharaman’s brief: opulent, never extravagant.
