A house is an oasis in the ordered chaos we live in. It also reflects the nature of the owner. In this project the demand was to create an unobstructed yet defined space which extends the warmest welcome, to assemble cozy yet sophisticated common area that makes you rush back after long hours spent outside. Making common area a cozy and welcoming space influenced by the owner personality. When we enter the apartment the ceiling has wooden members and a console unit.

The living room is the heart of the house. The two green sofas give a very fresh and cozy look to the whole area and add extra zing. The sheer curtain over the balcony door created perfect light in the area. A long shelf is kept on the wall to make room for artifacts and paintings. The furniture has been kept aesthetically appealing but practical, while strongly emphasizing on minimum maintenance. The dining area, adjacent to the living space, follows a similar wall color.

In search of their idyllic artistic haven , a young couple approached Ogling Inches Design Architects to provide the necessary panache to their interpretation of Classic Indian Art . As art lovers and the husband being a photographer , they needed specific and distinct features such as great lighting , work spaces and spaces to keep their varied artifacts . Keeping in consideration during the design process a space that can evolve to meet their idéa fixed.
The 2bhk has been transformed into a innovative space from top to bottom as a contemporary feel is achieved through the application of a neutral colour palette, with the Light Grey-painted walls creating a consistent, minimal aesthetic. The Light shade wood surfaces used in the custom well made furniture stands out against this grey backdrop and are complemented by great highlighting of the walls with lights and LED strips. The ceilings adorned with geometric wooden patterns inspired by Indian cosmic yantras gives this house the eccentricity as Indian art and culture is vivid and intricately designed. The living space has minimalist furniture and a simple layout to highlight the walls and levels explored throughout. Stylish , contemporary , symmetric and artistic at a subtle level has been achieved all in all . Art is a part of architecture as much as architecture is a part of it. This Quirky Story confirms the latter. -Divya Jagtap
BINOMIAL HOUSE , WAKAD
“Homes aren’t always about garish, over- elaborate designs, they are often about the heart and soul.” The aim of project was to deliver a spacious interior for a home of eight peoples with small rooms and to create a home that showcase a design that honor the original character of the house and satisfies the home owner’s affinity for a modern aesthetic.
One sees juxtaposition of textured and smooth materials used in the interior. Considering the owner's love for wood the interior was created using wood and different materials complementing it. Reflecting the heart and soul of the flat owners, this home nested in urban area of Pune spells absolute elegance. “The key to this project was that we haven’t added masses of square footage, we just made every square inch valuable and beautiful.” As you enter the tastefully designed lobby the textured wall and the geometrical false ceiling creates welcoming aura to the space. The jali used in the open area of lobby creates a visual barrier between outer space. The lobby then leads to the living room which features patterned wall.
The seating area has been expressed beautifully in muted colors like off white and white whereas the bedrooms have been painted in clever juxtaposition of bold and sober tones. Since a house is incomplete without an art, the walls of living room are adorned with paintings in many form and design. Making a lasting impression in the living room is the patterned wall for TV which gives a grand feeling to the whole area. The texture used on the furniture soothes the eyes and gives depth to furniture.
As we walk towards kitchen jali is installed in the ceiling which gives a very pleasant look through light and shadows. The whole interior is done with an interesting use of wood and different materials in the house. The wooden furniture gives us the rough texture and the visibility of grain in the wood makes it more appealing. The combination of satin and glossy texture is used on the furniture to create attractive element in design. For kitchen we used frosted glass shutters cabinets and glossed poly acrylic wooden shutters with black granite counter, perfect to lend a contemporary look to any modular kitchen.
Overhead water tank of 1000L has been installed in the washrooms keeping in view of today’s water problem and placed hidden above the false ceilings. The personal space was designed to suit the likes and dislikes of the occupant. The master bedroom simple, yet contemporary with maximum focus on the space utilization. The furniture custom designed and use of bronze glass on furniture gives very classy look and at the same time it gives an illusion of bigger space. Posture bed with fabricated headboard is used in bedroom to add luxury. The master terrace has been designed tastefully keeping in view the luxury of the bedroom.
Bar unit has been installed which has provision of storage of bottles, glasses and wine bottles. Automated light have been fitted to the unit for making it aesthetically appealing. All the wardrobe consist of automated light and has been designed in such a manner that it has space for safe, separate drawer for different accessories like tie, jewelry, shelf for folded clothes and hanging space for trouser as well. As the family owning this house travels a lot, so the loft can accommodate all the luggage.
This Project was our another effort to reach and establish the highest degree of finishing in Indian market and Public housing needs in this limited budget. Simple designs, clean lines, subtle colors, all helped us to create a warm and comfortable ambience.
