The project was deeply influenced by the unique site context. Balancing the design of the temple and the house was a significant challenge. While the house interiors followed a contemporary modern aesthetic, the temple required a traditional approach. We worked carefully to harmonize both styles, ensuring they complemented each other while meeting the client’s needs. Additionally, the kitchen’s orientation was reimagined to create an open-plan floor layout with an adjacent dining area, enhancing functionality and the overall spatial experience.

Adjacent to the door, a customized white mural wall serves as a striking focal point. Together, these elements create a welcoming entrance that seamlessly combines natural materials with artistic customization.
The living space exudes a harmonious blend of contemporary and traditional design elements. A stunning ceramic dining table complemented by a dining wall backdrop featuring a wooden mural of the iconic David artwork.

The exotic granite finish on TV unit further enhances the appeal, offering a luxurious and visual element that seamlessly ties the room together in portrait proportion.
An open kitchen with a fluted sliding partition offers the perfect blend of modern style and functionality. The sleek, textured design of the partition adds a trendy aesthetic while allowing flexibility to seamlessly transition between open and closed setup as needed.
The dining table, strategically placed adjacent to the kitchen, enhances convenience, ensuring easy access for serving smooth connection between cooking and dining spaces. This layout not only maximizes efficiency but also create a welcoming environment for socializing and family time.

The second bedroom is a serene master suite with neutral tones, exuding elegance and practically, complete with a spacious walk-in wardrobe.
The third bedroom is a haven for a book-loving teenager, where a golden-yellow upholstered bed serves as a stunning centerpiece against a neutral backdrop, complemented by a well-organized bookshelf.

Inspired by The House of Arches, this design approach transcends mere aesthetics, infusing functionality and a sense of timelessness into living spaces. Additionally, the arches create a harmonious balance between structural integrity and visual appeal, giving a home character and identity. Whether through bold structural elements or subtle design cues, the use of arches elevates modern interiors, making them a true reflection of elegance and individuality.
