Nestled in the urban landscape of Coimbatore, we designed a space to bring in natural light. Using a neutral color palette, we created a calm atmosphere to be relaxed and be mindful. Each space within the house takes on a distinct personality, creating a tapestry of designs that pay homage to both the Japandi interior design and the individuality of its inhabitants.
Editor’s Note: Illuminated by natural light and thriving by natural hues, this house emits a calm and peaceful aura for its dwellers. By keeping the interiors minimal yet elegant, the designers gave new life to this old structure while keeping its modern charms intact. With carefully layering the materials and accentuating natural elements, the design defines timeless aesthetics. ~Rajvi Dedakiya
We were commissioned to revamp a house whose shell had been constructed years ago and was left untouched afterwards. The task was to give new life to this villa while preserving the original structure.
