Project: Home on Kensington Road, Bangalore; Architects: ma+rs

SABYASACHI ROUTRAY, Co-Founder, ma+rs

Sabyasachi graduated from D.Y Patil college of Architecture, Pune. In 2012, he went on to intern at Mathew & Ghosh architects (Bangalore) for 4 months where he worked on projects like Freedom Park-Phase 2 and residential projects. After which he worked as architect at flying elephant studio (Bangalore) for 4 years. He worked on projects like APF School and district insitute, IIIT-Bangalore, residential projects varying from single house scale to towers and institutional architecture competitions.

The clients, a textile designer and her entrepreneur husband, gave the architects a clear understanding which was a conscious, warm and simple home with abundant use of natural materials and an earthy palette. They were looking to convert a rather cramped three-bedroom apartment into an open and bright two-bedroom + studio setup.

The two-decade-old apartment had an unobstructed view of lush green on one side; yet seemed rather dimly lit. The architects thought of tearing down some of the walls and opening out the spaces to get in abundant natural light, which in turn would uplift the quality of the spaces, almost instantly. The primary idea was to create a comfortable, calm and thoughtful space responding to the needs and lifestyle of the people living in it.
