Shivam Twelve
Four homes in RMV 2nd Stage, 1st Block, Bengaluru. One on each floor, each with its own lift, a 42 ft front balcony and two car parks.
A note from the founder
I wanted to build homes I would be proud to live in myself.
Over the last eighteen years I have built global teams in India for some of the world's largest companies. Shivam Spaces is where I bring that same care to something more personal: the homes families will live in.
Shivam Twelve stands on our own plot in Dollars Colony. The test for every decision has been simple: would I accept this in my own home? That is why the foundation was designed from a soil study of this plot, why each home takes a whole floor, why the bathrooms are tiled to the ceiling, and why there are only four families.
To Sanil Kumar and his team, and to everyone who will build Shivam Twelve with us, thank you. And to the four families who will make it home: you will always have my number, and I will pick up.

The residence
A whole floor to yourself
There is no one across the landing and no shared wall. The lift opens into your own foyer, and every room has a window to the outside.
Each home has three balconies with planters. A 42 ft balcony runs the full width of the front, from the kitchen to the master bedroom, with a sit-out beside the dining room. The living room opens onto a garden balcony more than 20 ft long, framed by trees.
The homes are east-facing and planned to Vastu, with the kitchen in the south-east.

Architecture
A quiet, green façade
The 50 ft frontage is finished in white, dark grey and teak. On every floor a single balcony runs the full width of the front, from the kitchen to the master bedroom, with glass railings and a planter along its length. Floor-to-ceiling glass opens the master bedroom, sitting area and kitchen onto it, and the glass at the centre is set further back for a deeper sit-out.
- Green wall across the stilt floor, so the street never sees parked cars
- Cars enter through a central gate
- A separate walk-in entrance at the right corner, beside the security room
- Landscaped garden at the rear
The people behind it
A developer who answers his own phone, and an architecture practice that has been designing homes since 1999.
Architect
Sanilkumar Associates
An architecture and interior design practice in Domlur, founded in 1999 by principal architect Sanil Kumar, a recipient of the JK Architect of the Year award. The practice designs luxury residences, villas, communities, offices and schools, with a focus on natural light, cross-ventilation and sustainable design drawn from Bengaluru's climate.

What it is made of
A short list of honest materials, chosen to age well in Bengaluru's weather.
- Italian marble
- Living, dining and foyer. Cool underfoot, and it can be polished back to new for decades.
- Wooden flooring
- Every bedroom, for warmth and quiet.
- Teak
- Soffits under the balconies, doors and accents. A wood that has weathered Indian monsoons for centuries.
- Aluminium and glass
- Premium aluminium windows and frameless glass railings, so nothing interrupts the view.
- Living green
- A green wall at street level, planters on every balcony and a garden at the rear.
Specifications
Chosen to last, and to need little looking after.

Building responsibly
Four homes on one plot is a small project. These are the choices that make it a careful one.
- Built for its soil
- The foundation was designed from a soil investigation of this plot, so the building rests on ground it is engineered for.
- Hot water without geysers
- One heat-pump plant on the terrace heats water for all four homes, using far less electricity than a geyser in every bathroom.
- Rain kept on site
- Rainwater harvesting, as BWSSB requires, so roof water recharges the ground instead of running into the drain.
- Green that cools
- A green wall along the street, planters on every balcony and a garden at the rear shade the building and the road.
- Light and air in every room
- Each home takes a whole floor, so every room has a window to the outside and air can move through.
