  • In this Hyderabad Residence, Concrete Interiors Reflect Warmth and Restraint | VAL Atelier

    A home is more than just a structure – it is a sanctuary for those who dwell in it. Designed by VAL Atelier, this 6666 sq. ft. masterpiece, nestled in the heart of the Financial District in Hyderabad, blends a quintessential minimalist aesthetic with warm materials and concrete interiors to craft just that. As the breeze glides in from a nearby lake and the setting sun casts its golden hues on the space, this 24th-floor abode becomes a canvas for nature and design to harmonize beautifully.

    Editor’s Note: “Transcending architecture, ‘Concrete Canvas’ becomes an atmosphere that whispers calmness and feeling. Through thoughtful layers and tonal harmony, quiet luxury unfolds, inviting its inhabitants to breathe, reflect, and just belong anywhere. And with that, this home becomes more than a space, a way of being.” ~ Anusha Sridhar

    Concept

    “Our concept for the project was simple – clean and minimal,” says Vaishnavi Linga, principal architect at VAL Atelier, explaining the vision behind this dream home for a young couple. The design mirrors this idea by using a single material—microtopping—across all surfaces, from the flooring to the ceiling, to create a cohesive feel. The grey tones of the surface subtly texture the space and naturally complement wood and stone, which add depth and warmth to the overall experience.

    The layout of the house is split across two levels, with the foyer, kid’s room and guest room occupying the lower level, and the common spaces and master bedroom taking their place on the upper level. Upon entering the house, the seamless cladding that envelops the shell helps the eye effortlessly glide across the space.

    A cozy and minimal seating space is positioned near the entrance, where the darker tones of the wall are reflected in the soft furnishings and other furniture pieces to maintain a monochromatic experience. A bench, crafted in the same microtopping surface, presents itself as an extension of the wall.

    Foyer

    One is gently guided from the foyer to the living spaces with a set of staggered wooden steps – simple, yet striking in their design, offering an unexpected twist in the spatial journey. Lined with greenery and textured stone cladding on either side, the steps create a retreat-like atmosphere, leading you through the home in a serene and tranquil way. The wood underneath your feet, along with that found in other furniture and art pieces, comes from the same tree. This connection weaves a quiet harmony throughout the house.

    Living, Dining and Kitchen

    As one ascends the steps, the dining room, kitchen and living room come into view, bathed in a flood of natural light from the adjoining balcony. The minimalist notion reflects in the modern and sleek design of the kitchen.

    An organically shaped dining table accentuates the eating area in the kitchen. It is made from the same wood used throughout the house, creating a harmonious flow. These spaces flow organically into the living area. Here, vibrant colors in the furniture pieces create a contrast with the otherwise neutral palette, thereby enlivening the space.

    Master Bedroom

    Beyond all this lies the private spaces. The master bedroom, with its thoughtful curation of soft furnishings, oozes a relaxed and cozy ambience.

    Kids Room

    The kids room, on the other hand, is a joyful expression of the kid’s personality with its use of playful forms, materials and colours.

    The essence of DSR House lies in its effortless flow and quiet sophistication. The seamless use of materials like microtopping, wood, and stone creates a harmonious flow throughout the space. As a result, each area feels like a natural extension of the one before.

    Rather than relying on loud statements, the house speaks through its subtlety. The symphony of materials and experiences created in the house establishes a calm atmosphere. As a result, it transforms into a sanctuary where one can always feel comfort and peace.
