This spacious house in Gujarat, conceptualised by Dipen Gada & Associates, does away with frills and ostentation in favour of an aesthetic dictated by clean lines and tasteful restraint

"The surrounding is a vast stretch of land filled with greenery. We wanted to respect the environment and create a house themed in a way that it beautifully blended with nature." -Dipen Gada, Founder and Architect, Dipen Gada & Associates

The exterior plaster treatment furnishes an undulated finish in parts and a grooved effect in the others, with the play of light and shadow throughout the day subtly highlighting these textured surfaces.

"We have attempted a soulful and peaceful design with the minimal usage of colour and materials. Also, the client had immense faith in us, which gave us the freedom to experiment." - Dipen Gada, Founder and Architect, Dipen Gada & Associates

The furniture and lighting pieces are sourced from different brands and studios, including Quatrefoil, Arisaa, ORI, Tectona Grandis Furniture, Studio Works and Abstrac, along with works of art by artist Asish Das.
