This house is designed for a businessman dealing with chemicals with a family of 6 members. It being his dream home, he had an eye on all miniscule details.The client's brief expressed the desire of the house to be modest and spiritual. With limited square area available, the house had to be built vertically to fulfil all the requirements including that of a garden space connected to living space. The layout was such on first floor that every space enjoyed the garden view. Simple, plain, clean, larger and brighter'- were the adjectives in our minds while perceiving the interiors.The look was to be upbeat and timeless, with refreshingly modernistic and an Indian feel to it. Each space was given a unique look through specially handcrafted elements. At the entrance partition, Jaali is created from the solid natural wood bricks. The staircase has been well designed with solid wood & MS. Rustic feel is added through warm palette of furniture.Living area is stylish, where the furniture has been custom designed in natural solid wood. The warmth and richness of materials and the polished Australian white flooring in all areas ensures their seamless continuity. The kitchen has Italian marble on one wall and customized cabinets.In the daughter's room, one wall is highlighted using different types of wood for an ancient look. In the Master bedroom, the bed back has been casted from metal with laser cut pixel pattern. The third floor has an informal sitting along, with the two terrace gardens. Large windows capture, soothing snapshots of the surrounding, allowing copious amount of natural light.The interiors have a unified, minimal palette taking an earthen theme with shades of rust and brown, adding same toned metals such as brass & copper. Absence of any pomp generates an exhibit of innocence and comfort to the home. Eventually the space echoes a soothing, relaxing appeal and a tranquillity that is unmistakable.
