The client enlisted Tact Studio to design a 3BHK showflat for their newest residential development, Shaligram Felicity in Surat. Although the future occupants of such sample flats are unknown during the design phase, it is crucial for the design aesthetics to resonate with the preferences of a diverse range of potential buyers. Recognizing the necessity for these apartments to feel large and airy, this residence conveys a sense of spaciousness and lightness into its interiors with its open layout, functionality, bespoke furniture and understated elegance. 

Right from the entrance, visitors are greeted by a number of arches seamlessly integrated into the various design elements throughout the entire home, serving as a unifying feature. Upon stepping into the apartment, the foyer is occupied by a custom console unit crafted in veneer and PU paint, integrated with dual arches in metal complementing the screen of the main door. This piece at the entrance establishes the material palette of the residence and sets the tone for the design consistency throughout the space. It seamlessly transitions into the living room, serving as a partition that doubles as the backdrop for the TV unit. It discreetly screens the kitchen from direct view. The introduction of this design feature controls the scale of the open layout and emphasizes the spaciousness of the living and dining area.

The living room boasts a veneer-finished arched door, leading to one of the master bedrooms. Paired with a circular-framed tropical wallpaper, this setting forms a captivating backdrop for the olive and beige-toned sofa. The dining area features a 6-seater dining table with an ivory top, supported by a striking black metal base, and accompanied by chairs upholstered in soft pink fabric with metal frames. Adjacent to this setup is a modest swing without a backrest, positioned to overlook both the deck and the dining table. 

On the dining wall, there's a minimalist puja space, featuring a backdrop of a custom arched terrazzo panel. The temple area is distinguished by veneer paneling that cleverly conceals the column offset.

The kitchen is a simple clutter-free space, with an ivory back splash complemented by quartz countertop in brown and slate blue laminate. Further along the hallway, the common hand wash area livens up the corner with its glazed green tiles, tall arched mirror, custom metal shelves, and freestanding washbasin.

Positioned strategically, the mirror reflects not only the arched door of the master bedroom from the opposite end but also captures the details of the arched wardrobe within the bedroom, resulting in a visually captivating effect. This wardrobe, which extends to form the dressing unit, is finished in dual tones of PU paint aligning with the bedroom’s pastel theme. The bed features a leatherette upholstery in a muted teal hue paired with grey fabric, flanked by elegant side units on either side maximizing functionality. Three circular niches have been introduced into the wall behind the bed to address the offset created by a long column within the bedroom. The entire bedroom emanates a gentle charm, radiating a cozy homely vibe.

The second master bedroom features a minimalist design approach. A wooden-finished bed with a long veneer headboard which also serves as a display shelf. Completing the space is a fixed side unit that also functions as a dressing table, complemented by an inverted arched mirror.

The children’s bedroom is partially raised in wooden flooring. The bed is positioned towards one end to create more space on the other side, giving the room a larger appearance. The front of the bed serves as niche for book storage. A curved back panel conceals storage for the dressing area, along with a channel to accommodate a sliding shutter for the narrow window. The custom-made sliding shutter, serving as an artistic element, draws attention and infuses a playful vibe into the room. Its colors complement the overall beige and rust tones of the space beautifully.

Keeping in mind the design objectives, this residence strives to achieve a perfect balance of design elegance, functionality and simplicity.
