The client provided a brief for a 3BHK house spanning 1675 sq.ft. of carpet area, with each bedroom dedicated to specific family members. The Kids Room is intended for a 16-year-old teenager, the Parent's Room for a couple in their 70s, and the third bedroom for another elderly couple. On the first day, the client emphasized the need for a functional and easy-to-maintain house, avoiding the use of grey colours due to their gloomy feel. The existing beige boticcino marble flooring was to be retained.
In response, we adopted an approach where the entire house's colour scheme would be based on ivory, with each room designed accordingly.
The living room was designed to resemble an ivory canvas, achieving a classical zen look. Beige was elegantly used on the walls, while the furniture was crafted from oak wood, featuring prominent grains and a light shade that created a calming atmosphere. A capsule fluted glass partition separated the dining area from the rest of the living space.
A Mandir with ashthamangal on both sides and bells in alternate squares was incorporated, respecting the client's Jain belief system. The sleek design of the TV unit added minimalistic charm to the wall, while loose furniture, such as a floor-standing swing and oak wood sofa, brought functionality and style to the room. The centre table near the informal seating area had a brass base and a brown marble top, while the sofa, lounger chair, and centre table in the formal living area were designed by Soch Design Studio with meticulous attention to furniture details and material experimentation. The entrance of the house featured a grey marble-clad wall with a safety door adorned with geometric designs in circles and curves, providing a luxurious feel. Functional storage cabinets and a backlit nameplate embedded in marble completed the entrance design.
To create a calm and composed atmosphere for the elderly couple, we designed the room with a zen context. The wardrobe was crafted using ash grey veneer and cane material, sandwiched between two glass layers for easy maintenance and a natural look. The bed backdrop featured a rectangular offset geometric design, finished with stucco texture paint in beige to achieve a monochrome appearance. The bed itself was detailed with a headrest, curved edges, and rattan accents. The front wall served as a TV unit and a full-length mirror cabinet for dressing and storage. The terrazzo white finish on the wall, combined with the veneer details, added an accent look that blended gracefully with the room. The toilet carried the same essence as the bedroom, featuring pastel green tiles, black fixtures, Moroccan design tiles in the corners, and a rattan-bordered mirror, creating a zen and elegant space.
The young couple desired a room that exuded character and subtle elegance. We decided to use olive shades, incorporating random rectangular geometry for the wardrobe, along with white and brass inlay finished with a polyurethane layer. The dressing table featured four chest drawers to store accessories according to the client's needs, with additional storage behind the mirror for day-to-day items. The TV unit was finished with an olive shade concrete texture over the panelling, complemented by vertical stripes of brass inlay, which harmonized with the bed backdrop. The entire wall behind the bed showcased vertical stripes, adding character to the room. The study unit with vertical white stripes seamlessly blended with the design, creating a cohesive wall composition..
This room was designed for a 15-year-old who enjoys games and prefers a minimal use of colours. We utilized knotty pine veneer along with maroon and blue shades for the bedroom. The bed backdrop was made entirely of pinewood, with cove lights to set the mood. The wall was intentionally left empty to showcase the distinctive character of the knotty pine veneer. The study table featured veneer and coloured glass finishes, creatively arranged in geometric patterns, providing an interesting and functional space for storing books and study materials. The design of this room was intended to be timeless, maintaining its appeal for years to come. The Kids bathroom followed a similar design approach, featuring herringbone patterns created with white, blue, and red subway tiles, as well as a shower area with a blue rustic finish, adding a natural touch to the bathroom.
Given that the kitchen is primarily used by homemakers and requires cleanliness, we aimed to make it interesting and visually appealing. We opted for a colour scheme of Royal blue and ivory. The kitchen quartz counter was sourced from Kalinga, featuring a white base with subtle grey characteristics. Moroccan tiles with a blue base were used for the dado as a backsplash for the kitchen counter, while the kitchen cabinets incorporated blue Victorian geometrical patterns. The undercounter furniture was designed in Royal blue, while the head and overhead storage were finished in ivory, enhancing the furniture's elegant and seamless design. The sliding door for the kitchen featured fluted glass frames in royal blue polyurethane. Overall, the kitchen embodied a Moroccan-Scandinavian theme.
