The 7000 sqft duplex home has been designed for family of a young and passionate businessman. The home is situated in an apartment building located in industrial town of Ludhiana. Two separate apartments one above each other were combined to create an expansive four-bedroom home for the family. The design objective of this 7000 sqft home was to create a spacious and earthy home inspired by Nature.
This 7000 sqft Home is a Spacious and Earthy Space Inspired by Nature | Basics Architects
We segregate the house into distinct public and private zones that flow seamlessly into each other while maintaining their functionality and identity. We distribute the living areas into a formal living and dining space on the lower level and an informal family lounge and study on the upper level.
The main lobby, lounge, dining room and kitchen were unified by considered visual and physical connections to encourage interaction.
The double-height living area was consciously designed to generate a feeling of being outdoors and serves to integrate the spaces around it. A straight corridor runs end-to-end on both levels overlooking the space and connects the public areas with the private spaces.
A palette of carefully assembled materials such as terrazzo, brick, marble, steel, and wood served as an expression of biophilia throughout the house. Thoughtfully selected marbles and mosaics enhance each bedrooms and their bedrooms.
A deliberate attempt was made to distance the house from its harsh industrial context. Considerately selected materials and diligent detailing worked together to reinforce the design intent of a house close to nature.
An internal staircase connects the two levels while a bridge on the upper level allows for a second entrance into the house. This arrangement produced an activated convergence of various spaces where the family members could interact with each other.
Allowed the rustic and innate beauty of the slabs to shine, emphasizing their natural character, and extensively used natural teak wood and veneers
A wooden coffered ceiling accentuates the scale of the double-height space. A rustic brick surface provides a backdrop for the staircase while a travertine-clad wall echoes a natural rock texture.
We meticulously craft the details of the staircase and bridge using steel and wood. Large windows flooded the interior with natural light and framed views of potted plants, further allowing nature to permeate the house.
We contrasted natural textures with vibrant paints to highlight the dynamic intersection of the various volumes. To establish visual continuity, bright yellow paint helps to connect between living area and bedrooms. Additionally, imparting warmth and liveliness to the interior.
Brass details, used in the floors and walls, conveyed a subtle grandeur. Wooden framed portals also articulated the transitions between various spaces.
The design of a ‘home’ should address the needs and personalities of its inhabitants and also give shape to their dreams and aspirations. The design intent was to create an urban refuge, further transporting the occupants far away from the oppressive city environment.
Careful planning and interventions generate diverse spatial experiences which encourage interaction and engagement between the family members while also providing areas for introspection and privacy.
We layer the spaces with mindfully selected natural and well-crafted materials to create a home that is earthy, rustic, and nature-friendly
