Art Residence
How can we harmonize contemporary design sensibilities with artisanal craftsmanship for a residence?
A Family’s Minimalistic Haven Nestled amidst the bustling urban landscape of Gurugram, this home stands as a testament to the intersection of art, design, and family heritage.
The vision behind this residence was clear: to create a space that is as unobtrusive as it is captivating, a blank canvas that beautifully amplifies the essence of each piece of art lovingly collected by the family during their extensive travels. Many of these treasures are the handiwork of local artisans, preserving an authentic connection to the culture and creativity of their surroundings.
Sunlight generously bathes the interiors, casting a soft glow upon a carefully curated palette of muted colors. The design philosophy takes one on a journey through the home, offering an array of venues and layering spatial experiences that invite them to connect with art in distinctive ways throughout the space. Even the often-neglected corridors and transitional areas are thoughtfully designed, playing a pivotal role in enhancing the overall sensory experience of the house.
One might liken this house to a personal art gallery, where every corner tells a unique story. The walls, adorned with the rich texture of lime plaster, are painted in subtle, soothing hues. Natural materials such as wood and rattan are seamlessly integrated, serving as a harmonious backdrop for the family’s eclectic collection. But it’s the delightful surprises scattered throughout the space that truly captivate, from the distinctive, stained glass from haveli inspired door designs to vibrant and evocative paintings that punctuate the design. The furniture made of locally sourced teak wood and completely made in India is an ode to the heritage of the country and a testament of the family’s passion towards the crafts & culture.
