Being situated in a city steeped in Architecture and a client who adores its legacy, one is bound to take inspiration from the iconic buildings of Chandigarh. The new residents of the 1600sft plot aspired for the luxury and grandeur of space. The facade plays in frames and highlights in the form of a majestic concrete awning arch and small planters with a pop of colour. Keeping in mind functionality, the concrete arch acts as a countertop on the eclectic terrace, though the residents like to use the space for family gatherings and sunbathing. 

In terms of planning the main challenge was to design for 3 generations and a dog that loves to take part in all family activities. So to provide accessibility to all individuals, the house was designed around a vacuum lift enveloped with a metal and teak staircase placed at the heart of the residence enabling the young at heart grandmother to cherish all parts of the structure. In terms of interior design, the aim was to have consistent design detail and finishes yet give distinctive features throughout the house. The furniture is in teak and sleek finishes keeping the focus on open spaces, abundance of light and ventilation. Furniture pieces from sofas to beds, to partitions, to credenzas were custom designed for the spaces and given unique design details in terms of functionality and aesthetics, mostly both. 

The idea was to create ahome that the client would run back from work to. A safe-haven, a dream come true.
