A private terrace in Hyderabad’s Banjara Hills was transformed into a sundowner-ready rooftop bar, under the incisive direction of NaaV Studio. The terrace was once a bare, under-utilised space, characterised by a simple glass railing and not much else. “It had to be a multi-purpose space, with intimate sections for seating, and larger open areas.” Since there’s another villa coming up on the far side of the terrace, a section of the raised bar area was blocked off with solid walls to maintain privacy. This interplay of solid walls and breezeblocks continues across the border of the terrace, creating a spectacle of light and shadow throughout the day.
