These residences range from simple to ornate, and austere to playful, while following the concept of clean lines and symmetry.

Splendour in simplicity

Constructed using mainly concrete and wood, this family home in Surat resonates Co.lab Design Studio’s refined design philosophy

On one of the green-lined paths in the residential lanes of Surat sits Sattva, a contemporary home for a family of six. Now covering 8,000 sqft and three floors including the ground level, this luxurious home was just a bare plot when Vikram Bhatt and Hansika Jain of Co.lab Design Studio began to envision its prospects. It’s been three years since, and their ideas have taken shape in the form of a subtle yet rich family abode.

“We designed the house to echo the simplicity of the clients, with a slight upgrade from their rather rooted lifestyle. The house is easy to maintain and not very complicated, with just a touch of opulence,” explains Jain.

The austerity first comes through in the grey and black façade with fresh green plants for airiness. To cordon the house off from the two neighbouring bungalows and gardens on its four sides, the design team affixed louvres within the glass and concrete exterior, followed by a layer of green shrubs and bamboos.

Two different entryways have been created through a flight of stairs, for the owners and guests to enter the first level above the car park. An expansive living area visually unfolds into the formal living room, the family lounge, and the kitchen and dining area. All these functional areas have been accommodated into one large, flowing space to keep the atmosphere and the family connected.
