The underlying design ideology of VEERAM SHAH - the Principal Architect and Founder of Design ni Dukaan's latest project THE MOSAIC HOUSE was the diversity in the preferences of the family of five, rendering their various narratives into a harmonious symphony.
Celebrating the nuances of individual identities the house balances the wants and needs of its inhabitants while staying distinct yet cohesive. Care and attention are given to spatial lightness, conscious design and keeping it natural within its materiality.
Developed on the go, adding and subtracting parts, pieces, textures and forms to patronize the lifestyle of all residents, it got the moniker The Mosaic House'.
A welcoming gesture at the entrance, a soulful mosaic, crafted using remnant stones from different rooms is symbolic of the unique personalities of each member. A beguiling piece of art in soft hues against a cerulean blue backdrop, this statuesque mural greets guests with its compelling demeanour and vibrancy.
The entrance unfolds to an exquisitely engaging living room that exudes a sublime voice with its art deco renditions. Gradients of soft hues, a tantalizing swing, and a bodacious table, nuanced with dark tones it crafts an aura of nostalgia and belongingness with its abstract visual language.
