The Raghupathi Bhat Villa, located in Manipal and spanning 9,000 square feet, is a residence that masterfully blends South Indian tradition with Brahmanic design principles. This villa epitomizes the architectural elegance and modernist principles exemplified by Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye, serving as a quintessential model of International style. The design incorporates key elements of modern architecture, including horizontal windows, a rooftop garden, pilotis (supporting columns), a free facade, and an open floor plan. These features not only enhance the villa’s aesthetic appeal but also reflect a pioneering approach to contemporary architectural practice.
