“Design shapes one’s life in ways unknown. Studio HC has curated spaces that are promising and prompt in their manner of appearance. The elevational treatment sees a stark use of white hues and grey stone, elevating its aesthetics.”- Nishal Sevak(Co-Editor)
All of life is poetry! Every detail captured, expressed and executed is a frame of story telling.
We perceive an entire project to be a movie and we create frames of stories with our plans and elevations, story boards and material palettes, to premier a home of love, compassion, colour, texture and oneness.
Here we present to you a story of a G+2 structure. A structure with a simple yet aesthetic façade design, it breaks the public and private spaces into two floors of details. All public spaces in the ground level, three bedrooms and a living family room in the first floor, the second floor houses a private home theatre and deck, landscaped terrace, and the utility rooms.

The project began at a focus of abundant ventilation and light with huge openings, to avoid artificial lighting before sunset. As we went on to create our frames and stories, we looked at a subtle material palette of tints and hues integrating neutrals and pops of tints to create more variety in our spaces.
The front elevation is kept minimal with white and stone cladding to allow the resplendence and context to amalgamate and set the tone for our structure.
Working on a central concept of a courtyard and all the primary spaces overlooking this green space, thereby integrating a sense of warmth and home through visual imagery.
The interiors creates a home over a house and relates a sense of natural colour themes to complement the courtyard and a myriad of materials like the use of wood in walnut tone, grey and white marble, stone in rough and smooth textures , accents in upholstery colours, combination of leather and fabrics.
Through these textures and finishes we have aimed at telling a story of warmth and subtlety, reflecting the ethos of our clients and their definition of a home.
The project has focused on integrally making visuals into and from the site, helping the users derive an experience out of the space.
Conceptual elements like a bridge connection from living space to the bedroom, double height ceilings in the living room which open up into spaces below, creating a sense of monumentality and a better microclimate, enhanced by the landscaping effect layers the project further.
We further detailed out elements of panelling in the double height space which when opened up would act like a window from the study room, creating a visual interaction with spaces below. On closing this camouflaged shutter, the whole panel narrates into a double height space.
The balconies, bay windows and study tables have been placed and created keeping in mind the view from the site which overlook into green spaces, lush trees and a hill, which creates a sense of focus and experience with repose for a user.
We have always believed that homes are your closest spaces and as designers we have a responsibility of creating spaces that reflect a clients beliefs, personalities and abstracting their lived experiences, baggages and stories into spaces of colour, texture and patterns.
