Ambience of a French Villa for the price of an apartment

French Colonial Charm. Four-Side Openness. Sustainable Strategies.

Located just outside Pondicherry, AH3 is the third phase of the Auroma Homes development — a unique housing project that blends the grace of French colonial villas with the Luxury and efficiency of apartment living.

Commissioned by a thoughtful, eco-conscious developer aligned with Auroma Architecture, AH3 brings a rare sensibility to residential design: luxury that doesn’t shout, comfort that doesn’t compromise, and sustainability that feels natural.

The Vision: A Villa, Without the Price Tag

The idea behind AH3 is deceptively simple but powerful — to offer residents the feel of a private villa, without the constraints or cost of standalone housing. This meant rethinking the typical apartment block model.

Instead of stacking multiple units together with shared walls and limited light, AH3 is built as a trio — three independent buildings, each with just one apartment per floor. That means:

ree
  • No shared side walls

  • Complete four-side openness — north, south, east, and west

  • Natural light and cross-ventilation in every room

  • The privacy and tranquility of an independent home

ree

This layout creates a lived experience that is rare in apartment living — airy, quiet, filled with natural light, and free from the boxed-in feeling so common in typical residential buildings.

Design Language: Pondicherry, Reimagined

The architecture draws inspiration from the timeless elegance of Pondicherry’s French colonial villas. You’ll find:

  • Arched windows and sun-drenched balconies

    ree
  • A color palette inspired by the vibrant, weather-washed walls of Mediterranean and Tamil coastal towns

    ree

These design gestures are not just aesthetic; they’re emotional. They create a sense of place, warmth, and personality — turning a housing unit into a home with a soul.

Material Palette: Luxury That Respects the Earth

AH3 doesn’t just look good — it feels responsible. The interiors and finishes balance comfort, quality, and conscience:

  • Reclaimed wood for windows, doors, and built-ins, giving character and reducing waste

  • Low-VOC paints in rich, earthy hues

  • Sustainable fittings that reflect thoughtful choices, not excess

  • Passive climate design, with wide overhangs, cross-ventilation, and reduced heat gain

Everything is chosen to age well, breathe easy, and live lightly on the planet.

A New Kind of Home

AH3 is not a typical apartment project. It’s a bridge between the idea of a villa and the reality of apartment living — a way of offering families space, light, privacy, and charm, without isolation or waste.

Key Features:

  • Three buildings, one apartment per floor

  • No shared walls

  • Four-side openness for every unit

  • French colonial–inspired architecture

  • Luxury finishes using recycled and natural materials

  • Thoughtful, sustainable design from ground up

AH3 – Where Architecture Breathes, and Living Feels Whole

Auroma Homes Phase 3 is a quiet revolution in residential design. It says you don’t need to build big to live well. You just need to build better — with intention, care, and heart.
