Located in the growing fabric of Indore City “AALIND” houses an office and residence for a nuclear family. This luxurious house is a well-crafted impression of the client's identity and personality. It is a house that combines splendor and comfort. After the concise requirements, we sketched out the spaces such that each room will have an enormous amount of sunlight and ventilation. The 40’ x 60’ plot area was so planned that the interiors were well connected with the semi-outdoor spaces. The three floors elevated residence is added with brick cladding and wall textures. Jali, wooden cladding, and paint texture are used as cladding materials, which added accentual elements and created a sleek and modern look to the exterior.

Stepping out of the stark minimalistic style of contemporary architecture, The AALIND house incorporates the classic India Modern aesthetics replete with modern amenities. The entrance is directed with two entrances, one heads up to the office area and other to the main residence. The doorway is adorned with a garden adjacent to it; the space fits beautifully for the morning coffee and lits up for the night with the floral metal artwork on the wall. The aesthetically pleasing wooden doorway opens up to the lobby adjoining the home theater and gym on the ground floor.

The entrance lobby opens up to the core of the residence “The Adiyogi”. The exceptional Shiva idol reflects the tranquility and serenity of the space. Landscaping within the courtyard adds greenery and visual interest throughout the residence as it’s seen from all the levels of the house. Mezzanine floor opens up to the office area, comprising of reception, waiting, staff area, master cabins, store and pantry. The interiors being kept elegant create a pleasant working vibe throughout the workspace.

Heading upstairs, we move to the residential areas with living room, kitchen, dining, and two guest bedrooms on the first floor. Neutral tones for the living room add an extra dose of approachability and warmth. The extensive living room is a mono toned palette juxtaposed with vibrant art works and textiles which are then set against a backdrop of marble, wooden veneer and flutes. It is overall a warm and inviting space that is both graceful and comfortable with a calming and sophisticated atmosphere.

Open Kitchen and dining area with a pop of sage green kitchen cabinets creates a tactile and visually interesting space. Accent lighting on the island highlights the green tones and generates a clean, cohesive look and a welcoming atmosphere. Each Bedroom has been awarded a color scheme, heavily dependent on its occupant’s preferences, And are designed such that they reflect the personality of the user and creates luxury, drama and simplicity in all aspects of design. The rooms are designed to be high on functionality, with a walk-in wardrobe area for the user, and some extra storage spaces.

Balconies on higher floors are not hindered by walls, adjacent buildings or trees so they can absorb more sunlight. Combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting creates a layered lighting design throughout the spaces in the house. Floor, table lamps and pendant lights are put on to enhance the warmth and depth of the interiors. Green terrace provides a relaxing and tranquil outdoor space to have an escape. The space hence allows relaxing and enjoyable green space, along with various types of planters and pots accessorizing the terrace. Also the space lightens up pleasantly at night for family gatherings, and parties.
