Functionally Elegant Design

Raaj Sree Ram Siddamsetty of Form and Space Design Consultants designs a simple yet striking villa for Ganesh Agarwal in Hyderabad.

Raaj Sree Ram Siddamsetty of Form and Space Design Consultants, is a Hyderabad-based design firm that is known for designing sleek and eloquent designs. For Ganesh Agarwal's villa, the design team has opted for a refined approach that has resulted in a simple yet striking design.

For this 6,500 sq. ft. villa, Raaj Sree Ram has created a relaxed and chic decor as the idea was to create a design that can live through time. Enhancing and bringing out the beauty of each space through a volumetric approach is his forte. Form and Space's design repertoire is diverse but apt for the space. Here the designer achieves a visual continuity with rough colours and textures.

A majestic doorway leads one onto the swanky living room, which is modern and ceremonial with black leather sofas flanking an onyx top centre table. The designer has used subtle tones but has accentuated the use of wood accessories. The warmth comes from the wood-clad walls. To break conventionalism, beige sofas are also a part of the decor scheme. The simple blinds and the painting depicting prehistoric life enhance the space. A high-end chandelier lends a luxurious feel to the space. The room has been designed primarily keeping functionality in mind.

A little ahead one is ushered into the sumptuous dining and informal living area. The dining space is dominated by a massive wooden dining table with an Onyx top complemented by smart leather beige and black chairs, the space is very functionally efficient. The lit alcoves display artefacts while a dining cabinet has been skillfully designed below the stairway. Another dinner wagon with crockery lies close to the kitchen.
