A Modern Classic

Borrowing generously from both traditional Indian design and clean, contemporary aesthetics, this home in Bangalore is a stunning spectacle of spatial planning

A Modern Classic

Our clients, a mother and her daughter wanted this apartment to marry the timeless elegance of traditional Indian design with the clean lines and modern sensibilities of contemporary aesthetics. She is an individual with a deep appreciation for diverse traditions and art. While she values her cultural roots, she also has a keen eye for modern design and desires a home that seamlessly integrates both. Another criterion we had to fulfil was to create elements that were bespoke. They wanted an inviting, aesthetically pleasing, calm, sophisticated and timeless space.

Making Room

This is a single floor plate 5,000 sq ft luxury apartment in Rajajinagar, Bangalore with six bedrooms. One of the bedrooms was converted into a home theatre space, while another bedroom next the daughter's room was integrated into it as a walk-in closet. Since the builder did not make space for a pooja room, a small space for it was culled out of the living area.

Old meets New

The traditional aspect of the home revolves around elements such as art, fabrics, design detailing and artefacts; which in turn are juxtaposed with clean lines and minimalism from contemporary design. The handcrafted elements brought in a sense of uniqueness to the space. While locally crafted objects and materials and contemporary spatiality lends the home a quaint charm.
