A Serene Home That Is A Testament To The Rich Human Experience | Alkove-Design

Lobby

The serene home itself is a sprawling oasis within the Ark Voyage in Pune. Altogether, the moment you step through the door, you’re greeted by a burst of colour in the entrance lobby. The walls, painted a vibrant scarlet, exude warmth and energy, setting the tone for the rest of the house.

Entertainment Lounge

The genesis of this space lies in a simple brief from the family. They sought a contemporary space that would serve as a retreat during their visits to India. It also reflects their diverse cultural heritage. Having grown up in India and later settling in Australia, they yearned for a home that would blend elements from both worlds. It was a challenge that Alkove-Design eagerly embraced, setting the stage for a creative journey unlike any other.

A re-creation of an S.H. Raza masterpiece adorns the walls, adding a splash of emotion to the space and a reminder of the couple’s Indian roots.

But it’s the entertainment lounge that steals the show, with its vibrant colour palette and exquisite Rajasthani craftsmanship.

Living Room

Moving further into the living room, you’re enveloped in a sense of calmness, with indigo accent walls adding a touch of serenity to the space. As sunlight streams in through the windows, casting a golden glow, you can’t help but feel at peace.

Despite the physical distance separating the design team and the clients, modern technology served as a bridge, facilitating seamless communication and collaboration. Through WhatsApp messages and video calls, ideas flowed freely, and decisions were made with ease.

Dining Area

The dining area, with its aboriginal art and rustic stone tables, pays homage to the family’s Australian roots while celebrating the vibrancy of Indian culture. It’s a beautiful juxtaposition, highlighting the couple’s diverse heritage.

Kitchen

The kitchen is specially designed to cater to Mrs. Pachare’s gourmet experiments. Clad in elegant Calcutta Lux stone, it exudes sophistication and style, a fitting backdrop for her culinary creativity.

Study Room

As you explore further, you’ll come across the study room, a space designed for both work and leisure.

The focal point of the room is a vivid Raza painting, re-imagined by the talented team at Alkove-Design, showcasing their commitment to excellence.

Soft oak furniture and lime green accents create a lively environment, perfect for unwinding after a long day.

Master Bedroom

But perhaps the most serene spaces in the house are the bedrooms. The master bedroom, with its pastel turquoise walls and chic furniture, is a place to relax and recharge. Moving further away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Son’s Bedroom

The son’s room, with its refreshing mauve tones, doubles as a guest bedroom, offering a cosy retreat for visitors. This contemporary haven stands not only as a physical structure but also serves as a guardian of identities, weaving together the threads of culture, memories, and aspirations to create a truly unique space.

Hence, From the vibrant scarlet of the entrance lobby to the serene pastels of the bedrooms, every detail has been curated to reflect the rich tapestry of the family’s journey. As the sun sets over Pune, it casts a warm glow over this beautiful home. Lastly, It reminds us that no matter where life takes us, there is always a place to call home.
