A humble trio, the clients are a family consisting of a husband, wife and their daughter. As per convention, the ‘ask’ was for maximum storage with clutter free functional space planning. The design elements were to be kept suitable for the habitable Indian context with less maintenance. As simple as the brief seemed, it proved a challenge to cater to all three differing design tastes. Understanding these differences, the design brings it all together as a home for a family with peculiar elements kept bespoke for each individual.
This Clutter Free Home Blends Maximum Storage With Functional Planning | DOTMINIMAL
Despite the limitations prompted by the tight floor space, the integration of maximum storage was the biggest challenge. The design integrates this storage in many forms with its mixed use functions, like storage built-in seater, panelled off foyer and crockery unit integrated with the fridge. Having a specific requirement for some metallic element, the foyer is encountered with a beautifully crafted, toned down rose gold metallic palette. Across the house a hint of black flows in multiple details, as a common visual thread.
To create a wider entry, the design team broke a wall to allow a stronger visual connection from the foyer. They kept the pivot linking the foyer to the living space minimal, while an organically patterned rug adds a subtle theatrical quality to the setting. Connected white marble and teak dining added to the simplicity.The mood board is subtle and clutter-free, leaning onto earthy tones as a base, with each space having one pop highlight that allows for a subtle tint of visual balance.
Daughter’s bedroom has a ‘zen’ vibe. Textured back panel with detached headboard makes the room feelspacious, with a circular mirror acting as décor. Master bedroom has an arched portal carving out a cosy integrated seater and window view. The design team addressed the challenging requirement of a work table by integrating a desk with a mature solid teak wood pivot against the rich black counter.
Pure white guest bedroom syncs with the blue-green kota flooring. Specially sourced ribbed granite adds a premium feel as it sparkles against light. The ochre headboard and organic mirror brings a playful feel, allowing guests to occupy comfortably.
