MODERN MINIMAL MAGICAL

They say design feels effort-less when you connect with your client. Couldn’t be truer than in this transformation we did. Pavitra Shankar is an executive director for one of the largest real estate firms, mother to two adorable boys and someone who I met when I had just moved back to India after living in the US.

When she reached out to me last year to explore a transformation for her larger living spaces, I was excited. Our design styles matched instantly— we shared a love for clean simple lines and the mid-century modern aesthetic. Her only brief was she wanted it to be warm, cosy and inviting, and at the same time she wanted to reimagine the space entirely.

The site itself was challenging. It was a single long space that had to be multifunctional with each area feeling connected to the other while having its distinct personality. So, we broke down all the visual barriers and created one clean open space now unified with a hint of warm grey paint. The apartment also has a beautiful view of the quintessential Bangalore green. It only made sense to have a massive picture window to maximise the view and let natural light in. This wasn’t an easy change with the apartment being on the 8th floor.
