The challenging & crucial part of this project was closing in on the design concept – the clients wanted a rustic, earthy and at the same time modern concept integrated with their love for nature and greenery. Bright as well as pastel colours immersed into the lush greenery of the place – resulted in narrowing down to a fusion theme – young, tropical, subtle, and at the same time vibrant.
Wood has been combined generously with live edge furniture, patterned flooring, motif tiles & coloured glass used at the entrance/home bar/ dining, and planters are woven into space – all of this comes together to create a lovely fusion oozing out tropical vibes. The minute one walks in, the vibe of a characteristic Goan cafe hits you – accentuated with a custom made floating structure at the entrance to hold plants and also to act as a partition.
Starting with the communal areas – ones sees that the lobby, living & dining areas are spaces that have been opened up with civil changes to the layout, hand-glazed tiles create drama right at the entrance, signature pieces like the unique floating plant’s partition form a stunning visual delight, and a bespoke wooden light fixture right above the dining catches attention – all in all, a warm, vibrant & bright space unfolds in front of you.
The kitchen is kept uncluttered, warm, and simple to provide a fresh, undiluted & easy working space.
The powder room is done up in a distinctive style, with a coastal essence – dark wood, traditional coastal artefacts, and patterned tiles walls. The rest of the bathrooms have a monochromatic look, one in black & white patterns & textures with complimenting hues and shades and the other keeping a heavy dose of mint – with distressed finish rustic tiles and plants to complete the look.
The master bedroom encompasses modern & classy bespoke furniture, with undertones of neutral whites and greys alongside vibrant colors used for accessorizing the space.
The bedroom belonging to the couple’s young son is kept functional and trendy including varied features like a bright blue brick wall, an entire study running across one wall of the room, and a day bed next to a window seating/ reading niche.
The guest bedroom is a burst of colors, full of contrasts, and acts as a culmination of this design theme balancing between the modern and rustic, contemporary, and tropical combined with an array of elements each with their own unique style.
With a home like this, who needs a weekend getaway!
