SERENITY LAVISH

Image
SERENITY LAVISH Serenity Lavish- An  apartment  building located in Science city area in  Ahmedabad – Gujarat , is a 3BHK  apartment , approximately 2300 sq.ft. I was approached by the clients, a sweet family of 4, to design a home that speaks to them. The concept of the house was simplicity. The clients wanted to make Serenity Lavish – a modern home yet timeless in its nature, a home that has warmth but yet feels airy and light and not too filled up and cramped. The brief was to have one  bedroom  turned into a home office for the couple, have one master  bedroom  and a twin  bedroom  for their two young daughters. The  living room  is the first space you see when you enter the house. The space has a very modern feel to it, but with a few interesting design elements that feel very timeless and draw inspiration from our traditional Indian design elements. The space feels light and open but yet inviting and warm. The play of wood and black, monotone fabrics, with a touch of green, is wh

 A MINIMALIST HOME WITH WARM EARTHY TONES AND EXQUISITE USE OF WOOD AND VEENER    Less is more may sound like a cliché, but with the minimalist design trend that’s the essence. The design approach was keeping in mind Minimalism. It aims for simplicity and objectivity.

DESERT IN BLOOM

Image
                                                                       DESERT IN BLOOM “Desert in Bloom” echoes a minimal aesthetic with a few stand out moments with pastel colours and natural light. Linear Directional Flooring flows throughout the common areas.  The patterns on the floor feels like strokes of brush on a grey canvas. It has a distinguished character of its own. The densely patterned circular carpet from D’Decor breaks the linearity of the floor with its shape and style. Contrasting pair of coffee tables are customized in mango wood that sits on the circular carpet. Bigger one is bleached and the smaller one is black matt PU polished. A 4-seater sofa fabricated in powder coated mild steel in tones of grey is made to look floating with its sleek legs.

The sofa back wall art is customized with thick sand color fabric and conceptualized to highlight the dune effect of desert. Th

THE PALMS

Image
                                                                      THE PALMS Spread across 10,000 sq, ft, the two storeyed home stands poised, quietly tucked away in the dense greenery of the mountainous range. The overarching theme of the house is sustainability, where indigenous materials and local craftsmanship have been celebrated throughout the house. The overall theme of the house is contemporary, we have further aestheticized it through the contrasting interplay of minimalism and maximalism. The aesthetic dichotomy is achieved by using a minimal neutral palette and dramatic styling of oversized mirrors, sculptures, and art. Overall, the home is apleasing medley of dramatic accents, vintage elements, artisanal pieces and theatrical lighting, making it all seem like they have come together organucally over the years.

Mc CLEAN DESIGN

                                                                    Mc CLEAN DESIGN An L-shaped infinity pool hugs the contours of the hillside site of this home on Robin Drive. McClean devised the home as a glass pavilion that would open to the pool on one side and an entry water garden on the other. The house is currently on the market for $52 million.    This home in the Bird Streets neighborhood, completed in 2014, features a striking entry bridge that passes over a water courtyard below. McClean recently remodeled the home for current owner Calvin Klein.  Every room on the main level of this home in Bel Air has access to a terrace and an exceptional view. While the home boasts 30,000 square feet of living space, McClean was determined to keep a casual feel by paying close attention to the scale of the rooms .     The architect used a curved glass wall to shield the property from the street and installed a waterfall feature to help with noise reduction. A continuous skylight extend

WHEN DESIGN MEETS ENGINEERING

Image
                                                      WHEN DESIGN MEETS ENGINEERING                                                                        LUXURY NEST The design of this home introduces a revolutionary outward-looking approach to the city’s architectural tradition. This home represents the tradition of the terrace, with its emphasis on an outdoor orientation, but in a context and climatic condition vastly different from the origin of the type. Glazing systems have advanced to a point where they can effectively provide insulation in the Russian winter extremes, which solved the climate challenge. The real challenge was to mediate a dialogue between the two traditions to resolve the new approach harmoniously in the Russian context. The design addresses the urban architectural character of the capital city and the pocket of natural pine forest on the island, something of a rarity this close to the historic center. From the garden, the architecture presents a contrasting fa
