Old Reverie by Local Dots

There was a myriad of requirements laid out by the client. However, as we progressed, we chose to manifest it in the choice of our concept, space planning, materiality, and photoshoot. We did our best to design a home with simple, honest materials and textures and cater to the family’s efficient and functional lifestyle.

The  entrance partition is the highlight element in the house. The living room blended seamlessly with the kitchen, dining area and the foyer with the absence of walls in common area which overall created a wholesome and visually connected spaces. The elongated kitchen allows for cooking and serves as a quick dining nook. Outdoor kitchen was taken in to cater everything in one place. The brief for the parent’s bedroom was to keep it as minimal as possible. The overlooking garden gives the privilege of natural sunlight streaming inside the room through the large windowpanes.

One of the mentioned points of the design brief was that the mandir space should allow enough sitting for a daily puja and also open out to larger gatherings. This resulted converting family space into puja area. The craftmanship of wall painting in the background makes all the difference. Strokes in majestic colours adds value and zest to worship.

Lounging is not limited to the living room but also in the bedrooms for a more intimate, relaxed moment. The Son’s bedroom with ink blue suede fabric bed with some classic geometric wall pattern accentuates the liveliness of the room. The best part is the Leisured bathroom connected to the bedroom with a tropical feel bathtub section. Master bedroom being very airy has the warmth of wooden flooring and walnut polished furniture with a touch of brass inlay in the bed back. On the other hand, the Quirky looking suite bedroom embraces the metal art piece which functions as a clock too . We wanted more design inserts so it was necessary to involve artists and craftsmen to beautify this space.

There’s a special story attached in the making of bar table. The mint  onyx used in the bar front was a waste piece lying around at the marble factory but our client and us  mutually caught an eye on it and thought it had to be incorporated somewhere in the house. The details developed over layers of conversations and discussions  that were used to formulate the overall experience of the house. There was a sync in thought of what everyone needed so it was easy to arrange the elements together in multiple interpretations.
