The clients had lived in different parts of Asia and wanted a house that felt like a mixture of elements evoking nostalgia of tropical getaways while still being rooted in modern Bangalore. This 3BHK home blends artistic touches with earthy materials to create a unique experience.

Designed for a young-at-heart couple whose children and grandchildren keep visiting, the house was designed with inspiration from Japandi style, while keeping it relevant to the Indian urban context. The colour palette is kept minimal with contrasting wood finishes in Oak and Walnut. Texture has been layered with panelling, lime-based paints, wallpaper details and linen furnishings. Design decisions have been made to improve functionality of the space, such as in the case of the partition between the kitchen and dining, creating both a focal feature as well as a dedicated dining space and privacy for the kitchen space. Bedrooms are designed as simple, calm spaces. And on the client’s request a small outdoor space was styled as a whimsical retreat.
