The exterior of the garden house design was planned to allow ample natural sunlight and ventilation throughout. The design of the exterior ensures that the balconies, parking areas, and shades provide not only functional but also aesthetic benefits.
Editor’s Note: “The neat, straight lines and horizontal projections of this Ankleshwar residence imbue it with a serene elegance. Both modern and contemporary in spirit, the interiors and exteriors embrace a neutral color palette. The captivating interplay of browns and greys creates a visually enchanting atmosphere. Every corner of this abode is thoughtfully curated, offering a sanctuary of harmonious living.” ~Simran Khare
This Garden House Design Soaks in Natural Sunlight and Ventilation | Studio Synergy
The clients focused on creating a beautifully landscaped lawn area to provide a charming space for entertaining guests. This area looks so picturesque during sunset that the house design has been dubbed the “West Garden House.”
The garden house design in itself is an exemplary concoction of neat, straight vertical lines and horizontal projections that lend it a pleasing character.
The interior of the house follows the same principles of modern contemporary and neutral colour palette as the exterior of the house.
Comfortable grey sofas and sectionals adorn the living room, centered around a distinct nesting table combination.
The black, back-painted glass in the recessed nook of the TV is the most eye-catching element in the design of this room.
This is also liberally used in other elements, such as the centre table as well as the vertical borders of the unit behind the sofas. The black trimmings on the furniture further harmonizes the design. The use of spotlighting in the living room is a clever way to guarantee an ambient atmosphere.
The dining area is an extension of the living room, with the same base of greys on the walls and evidence of the same shade of woodwork on the chairs of the dining table.
The marbled topped dining table goes marvelously with the soft teal upholstery of the chairs. The abstract pendant light and the spot lights give the clients the option to choose either an intimate or a softly lit ambience.
The pooja room is a serene space that exerts good vibes throughout the entire house. With soft arches and a colour palette of whites and soft teals, this room is a combination of modern and traditional. The recessed arches with traditional pichwai paintings on the left wall not only bestow an elegant look to the pooja room but also give a visually pleasing aesthetic to the dining area. The mesh wooden wall in the corner of the room ensures natural light and air ventilation in the area.
It is almost every woman’s dream to have a functional kitchen that has ample space and, at the same time, possesses an inherent aesthetic beauty. We have turned that dream into reality by designing this modular kitchen that has abundant space and looks positively charming.
The beautiful reflective backsplash tiles in grey gives it a sophisticated look while also ensuring easy maintenance and cleaning. The overhead cabinets and the bottom modular drawers provide the perfect storage solution. The bracketed platform with black granite provides enough room to prep and cook.
The master bedroom is doused in earthy tones with a lustrous chocolate coloured wall, set off with a white adjacent wall, showcasing two distinct intricate MDF designs.
The box bed and the headboard, upholstered in a soft sandstone brown, match harmoniously with the wooden laminates on the TV unit.
The checkered chairs in the lounging area of the room, along with a petite coffee table, provide a perfect solution for relaxing and unwinding. The task lighting atop the bedside table is a chic feature.
The parents’ bedroom follows almost the same colour theme as that of the kids’ room, except that the primary colour in this bedroom’s theme is white and the steel-blue is used as a secondary colour.
The beautifully panelled wall behind the bed complements the half panelled wall of the study area in the room.
The study area has a floating desk supported on one side by a cabinet, while the top sports a couple of floating shelves joined by a small filing cabinet.
It is interesting to note the tiny window the study is awarded with; this promises natural light while reading or writing. The full sized closets provide a base for the dressing area and the adjoining cubby-hole display.
With steel-blue, and white, the children’s bedroom radiates a soothing atmosphere. The twin beds with two wardrobes separated by a dressing area make it a sensible design for two kids sharing a room.
The best feature of the room is the cozy nook in the corner. It is the perfect place to read or take a snooze or even lounge.
The wall and the furniture knobs are embellished with rose-gold trimmings that grants it an elegant look.
The guest bedroom has a colour palette of blues, greys, and whites. The headboard of the bed extends the length of the blue-panelled wall.
The scone lighting above the lengthy bedside tables provides the perfect lighting for reading or setting a soothing vibe.
The aim was to have a cohesive design palette while also experimenting with different concepts and themes. All three main bedrooms are designed in such a way that they have a seating area, a wardrobe, and dressing areas. But that is where the similarity ends.
The master bedroom has chairs and a coffee table. Moreover, the kids’ bedroom has a low- sofa in the nook; and the parents’ bedroom has a study. The use of natural lighting makes the design perfect.
What truly made a difference, in my opinion, was the attention to detail. I think the clients really loved their new home; and that was the best achievement for us.
