Spatial Planning

Spatial transitions played a pivotal role in crafting an environment that felt expansive and interconnected. The layout was conceived as a dynamic sequence of spaces, ensuring a seamless flow from one area to the next. The layout plan unfolded as a narrative of spatial harmony.

It invites inhabitants on a journey through a series of interconnected, purposeful spaces. However, our project is not just a response to a plot size of 1500 sqft. It is a celebration of ingenuity and creativity within constraints. It offers a glimpse into the transformative power of architectural innovation and comfort design.

A striking feature of our design was the deliberate integration of greenery. Considering the lush green context of the surroundings, we sought to bring nature to the forefront of the house. Gardens, terraces, and strategically placed green spaces were seamlessly woven into the design.

Following this infusion of green terraces at both above floors not only elevated the aesthetic appeal but also created a sense of tranquility. Additionally, the terraces offer a reprieve from the urban hustle. It was a conscious effort to create a residence that did not exist in isolation but rather as a contextual addition to its urban environment.

However, the house aimed to be more than a structure. It sought to be a living, breathing entity that responded to the needs of its inhabitants and its urban context.

Drawing Area

A focal point of distinction emerges in the linear composition detail. This is enhanced by an avant-garde ceiling adorned with a creatively fused wallpaper print and sleek metal edging. Additionally, the introduction of grey mirrors augments spatial dimensions. Moreover, thoughtfully selected abstract artwork impart a touch of contemporary elegance.

Platinum disc-colored walls serve as a refined backdrop. The rust orange and muted green seating, paired with a hint of vanilla-dyed veneer, seamlessly infuse the space with warmth and serenity. This cultivates a harmonious and inviting atmosphere. 

Family lobby

A pervasive feeling of openness is cultivated through a light color theme, creating an illusion of spaciousness. The design seamlessly intertwines circular and linear geometries. This results in a smooth, curvilinear impression that invites a sense of fluidity and grace. The ceiling becomes a canvas of joy with radial curves that produce a subtle ripple effect, imbuing the space with a dynamic and uplifting ambiance.

The careful detailing of the mandir partition ensures the permeation of light and ventilation. Thus, it emphasizes a thoughtful balance between functionality and spiritual sanctity. Moreover, the selection of wallpaper adds a touch of ethnicity, echoing the craftsmanship of handmade art as a result of it. Additionally, each element in the family lobby harmoniously contributes to a welcoming and culturally rich atmosphere. Overall, it serves as a focal point of comfort and elegance in the home.

Kitchen & Dining Area

The kitchen and dining space epitomize thoughtful design, seamlessly blending activities for an efficient flow. Starting with a hygienic wash area at the south end, the kitchen features a clever serving counter. In addition to it, the dining table is accompanied by an elegant crockery unit and a nearby store room, optimizing functionality.

A connected balcony adds a delightful touch, offering picturesque views of lush greenery. Altogether, transforming the compact space into a perfect haven. Marked by a keen eye for detail and a subtle grey and white palette, the design achieves a harmonious balance between aesthetics and functionality.

Additionally, the meticulously arranged elements create an inviting atmosphere, establishing this zone as an ideal hub for culinary pursuits and shared meals.

Son’s Bedroom

With a singular focus on minimalism, the son’s bedroom embodies simplicity and sophistication. The walls and ceiling, adorned in shades of grey, create a serene and calming backdrop that sets the stage for a tranquil atmosphere.

Adding a subtle touch of warmth and personality, a muted orange bed-back becomes the focal point of the room. However, this carefully chosen accent introduces a gentle pop of color, breaking the monotony of the greyscale palette and infusing the space with a sense of vibrancy.

The deliberate decision to keep the son’s bedroom minimal reflects a thoughtful approach to design, allowing for a clean and uncluttered environment. However, this space not only prioritizes simplicity but also captures a harmonious balance between understated elegance and a personalized touch. Overall, in the same fashion creating a retreat that is both calming and uniquely individual.

Master Bedroom

Bathed in natural light and designed with an emphasis on openness, the master bedroom is a haven of tranquility. The thoughtful layout includes an attached covered sit-out and an open terrace, extending the living space and inviting the outdoors in.

The ambiance is set by a backdrop of sketchy floral wallpaper that imparts a touch of whimsy and artistry to the room. Meticulous detailing, featuring a paneling with vanilla-dyed veneer, grey mirror accents, and a pastel-shaded headboard, create a cozy and elegant retreat adorns the room.

For functionality, a dedicated working table with sleek storage drawers is strategically placed beside the window, offering a serene spot for productivity. Additionally, the attached dressing room and washroom, positioned on the southern side, prioritize hygiene and convenience.

In summary, a sense of subtle luxury is achieved through full-height steel grey tiles. However, this choice of material not only adds a modern and sophisticated touch but also elevates the overall aesthetic of the space. As a result, the master bedroom emerges as a harmonious blend of comfort, functionality, and refined design. Hence, offering a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Daughter’s Room

In crafting the Daughter’s Room, our primary focus was to create a conducive environment for a young scholar. Now in account of a deep understanding of the importance of focused study, a space that seamlessly integrates the essential utilities for academic pursuits is achieved. Thus, this prioritizes utmost privacy and minimal distractions in the bedroom.

The study area is thoughtfully developed, ensuring that it covers all necessary utilities for a dedicated study space. From ergonomic study furniture to adequate storage solutions. However, every element is curated to enhance the academic experience of the young residents. Altogether, the design embraces a minimalist aesthetic, promoting a clutter-free environment that fosters concentration and productivity.

In the bedroom area, we aimed to establish a serene sanctuary free from disruptions. Additionally, carefully selected colors, textures, and lighting contribute to a calming atmosphere. The layout is crafted to maximize privacy, allowing for a seamless transition between study and relaxation zones within the same space.

In essence, the Daughter’s Room is not just a physical space but a thoughtful manifestation of our commitment to providing an ideal setting for academic pursuits and personal sanctuary. Altogether, creates a harmonious balance between focus and tranquility.
