Unveiled in the heart of a verdant oasis teeming with rare avian life, Frame House emerges as an architectural abode and a transformative interior design project by UrbanNest Design Studio. Nestled near a densely vegetated area, this residential bungalow unfolds as a harmonious sanctuary for a multi-generational family of six. It features elderly parents, a son, a daughter-in-law, a daughter, and their beloved companion, Bruno.
Editor’s Note: “The interiors of UrbanNest Design Studio’s recent contemporary haven in Ahmedabad have a refreshing aura. The mild material palette and the warm sunlight striking the hints of gold through the wall-length windows make it an ideal playground to fuse Scandinavian and traditional elements. The user-centric design prioritises a customised space for the family members and their pet dog.” – Gopika Pramod
Frame House Is A Cohesive And Timeless Family Haven | UrbanNest Design Studio
Frame House is not merely a dwelling; it is a carefully orchestrated blend of Scandinavian elegance and a contemporary interpretation of traditional interiors. Conclusively, culminating in a cohesive and timeless family haven tailored to the unique tastes and needs of each family member.
The integration of traditional elements with contemporary design and the celebration of individual tastes within a cohesive family home stand as the pinnacle of the design process. Thus promising a timeless and harmonious living experience for generations.
A unique facet of Frame House’s design is the thoughtful consideration given to Bruno, the furry family member. Thus seamlessly integrating pet-friendly elements into the overall design.
From durable materials to dedicated spaces, the design ensures Bruno is not merely accommodated but fully embraced as an integral part of the family home.
Frame House’s architectural finesse extends to the strategic use of open plans, volume, and layering of materials. Thus creating spaces that break proportions and offer peep-out spots to admire nature’s beauty and rare birds.
The fusion between raw and modern material palettes, featuring handmade clay tiles and raw beige lime plaster, is accentuated by the use of arches and curves. Thereby contributing to the overall design harmony.
The architectural narrative unfolds with Frame House’s focus on integrating natural surroundings into the living space.
The journey continues as the bungalow opens to a seamless connection between the spacious living and drawing rooms, extending into a front garden adorned with a swing. The triple-height puja room, visible from each floor, adds grandeur and spirituality.
Here, Bruno finds joy, making the expansive space his safe playground. The staircase, illuminated by natural light, serves as a focal point, providing a sense of openness and lightness.
This experiential journey begins with a user-centric approach, where every detail, from the interactive front garden to pet-friendly elements, is thoughtfully crafted. This is to prioritize the well-being and individuality of each family member.
