The architectural shell embraces minimalistic aesthetics and exposed concrete ceilings with expansive glass pane windows that provide a clean and contemporary foundation. Yet, it is within this backdrop that a captivating contrast is born like a symphony, of colors and of shapes.
Within a 1500 sq.ft apartment, a captivating living space unfolds, embracing the personalities of a family of three- a duo of young professionals and a young kid who sought a home that exudes joy and warmth- a space that grows with their little one.
Embraces Minimalistic Aesthetics And Exposed Concrete Ceilings | Studio Deshi
The challenge was to find balance between the existing architectural features with the clients’ longing for fluidity, colour, warmth and comfort, weaving a tapestry of contrasts within the space.
Drawing inspiration from the Bouba Kiki effect, where shapes intertwine with sounds, we developed a conceptual approach—a harmonious blend of developing tension and contrast within the space while maintaining a sense of balance. Fluid, curved forms infused the space with softness and inviting comfort, while angular and geometric elements added a touch of modern dynamism—a poetic dance that unfolds throughout and evokes a harmonious flow.
Every inch of this project was meticulously crafted to reflect the clients’ unique lifestyle and preferences. The formal sofa, custom designed with an extending ledge, serves as a versatile dining experience while offering a vantage point for television.
Taking center stage in the double-height living room with exposed concrete ceilings, a custom designed curved sofa overlooking the balcony seamlessly connects indoor and outdoors, blurring the boundaries between them.
Infused with nostalgia for ’80s and ’90s pop culture, subtle references to iconic figures like Mickey Mouse, Coca-Cola, Jeff Koons, and Andy Warhol grace the design, adding character and whimsy. A serene corner houses a beautiful Pichwai mandir, paying homage to the clients’ Rajasthani heritage.
The entrance console and centre table feature intricate traditional bone inlay work in black and white, embracing the modern pop art color-blocking movement—a fusion of past and present, an homage to the vibrant tapestry of life.
The master bedroom, in contrast, exuded a sense of tranquility and softness—a sanctuary for the young professionals to relax after a tiring day. Neutral tones and gentle textures embraced them, creating a soothing atmosphere.
The dressing area however, was designed in contrast with glamour and opulence. Black and white patterned tile floor with sepia and normal mirrors covering the walls and ceiling. This creates an illusion of infinity. It is a captivating space where they could indulge in self-care and embrace their glamorous side.
The child’s bedroom is a realm of imagination, with custom-designed Star Wars-inspired space wallpaper. It is a tribute to his love for adventure.
A shifted bunk bed with steps acting as a library. Interactive elements like a monkey bar adds an element of playfulness.
Even the handles were customized with a punch of Hulk, embodying the spirit of strength and fun.
Within this project, contrasting elements coexist in perfect harmony, captivating the senses and evoking a deep emotional connection.
It invites inhabitants to immerse themselves in a world where minimalism dances with maximalism. Clean lines embrace vibrant colors, and where tradition finds solace in contemporary aesthetics.
