Redefining spaces
The brief was simply to provide one dedicated bedroom to the daughters of the house. The bungalow was built in 1976 and was just a ground structure at that time. Over the years it went several unplanned modifications as and when required. Hence it lacked proper planning and the result was very awkward and disproportionate spaces. Rooms were planned as per the trends when they were built and the family’s priorities changed over the years.
The house had styling and material palette different for each room representing time and style it was built in. We decided to redefine the house and give it a contemporary, earthy look. The aim was to achieve three basic things:
Proper layout for the entire house that offered well sized proportionate rooms for everyone in the house.
Give an identity to the house with proper material palette and design language.
Keep the cost as low as possible.
The material palette is simple with matt vitrified flooring to the complete house with white walls. To break the monotony use exposed bricks and exposed concrete is used.
The overall house has a matt / earthy feel to the space. The use of glossy glass mosaic and glossy copper work creates interesting contrast at certain places in the house.
