Tailormade in response to the individual and cohesive needs of a three-generational family consisting of seven family members, Kaveesha Shah and Malay Doshi, the lead designers on this project, along with Kashish Shah of Saransh, exhibit mastery of the narrative and execution of the design. This five-BHK, double-storeyed home in a gated community in Ahmedabad spreads across an impressive 5,000sqft. While the brief colludes with the overtly contemporary form and exposed concrete façade, the execution creates moments in the spatial expanse that are individualistic and inspired by the occupants living here.

Set in South Mumbai, the "Indo Ethnic House", as it is aptly titled, is a luxurious four-BHK apartment set in the heart of Mumbai, on the 56th floor of Lodha Park, Worli. Designed by the dynamic duo, architects Honey Shah and Disha Kotadia from Paperish, a design studio, this 1,900sqft home exudes contemporary Indian design with a splash of modernity, bursts of vibrant colours, and quintessential Indian art pieces. This narrative is a well-rendered extension of the homeowners who are avid Indian art connoisseurs, and the design process revolved around complementing the gorgeous art pieces in each room setting. The entrance of the house features a flawless fluted wall that rises to the ceiling, acting as a catalyst to the drawing room while also serving as a transitory passage to all the spaces of the house. With panoramic views of South Mumbai's coastline from the 56th floor, the house exudes a sense of luxury while keeping in touch with traditional roots. The material palates, the interplay of colours and hues, and the concept of flowing spaces truly embody the name given to it, "Indo Ethnic House". A home that is made in India and inspired by India!

Architect Chirag Panchal of Ignitus Architectural Studio takes us through the design of a newly constructed home, aptly titled "House of Nine Cubes". This residence is inspired by its arid location and celebrates locally available resources...having said that it is presented in a fresh narrative. You could say, this home is an excellent example of contemporary Indian vernacular architecture. Located in the busy suburbs of Ahmedabad it covers 5,000sqft of area and accommodates nine family members in its five bedrooms and lavish entertainment room. The whole building consists of nine cubes placed on top of each other to cater to the client's specific functional and luxury requirements. Each cube serves a different function, ranging from parking to living spaces, with a simple exterior material palette consisting of stone, wood, and exposed brick. The house's architecture is minimal and tailored to its surroundings' hot and dry climate, with the built structure strategically aligned to take advantage of natural light and wind flow. The clients' need for an open layout for the common areas of the house was a crucial factor in the design process. The spatial planning is largely open, with the drawing room opening up to the outside deck, and the living, dining, and kitchen areas blending into one huge linear space. The overall architecture is sustainable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly, with locally sourced materials used to minimize the carbon footprint.

Quite the visual treat, the interiors of this Mysore home, crafted by Sneha Talati and Iesha Parekh Shellugar, Founders, TaP Design Inc (@tapdesigninc), abound in earthy textures and evocative patterns. Cane and wood take over the bedroom, affording it a pleasant old-world charm. The series of artworks hung on the wall behind the bed lend an artistic touch to the space and bring forth the client’s fondness for nature. A vibrant composition of colours and patterns, coming through the wallpaper on the bed’s back wall and the soft furnishings, brings a graceful and lively aura to this bedroom. Sneha and Iesha say, "Repetition and symmetry are prominent design elements - seen in the fluting on the walls and a few of the wardrobes, the embellishments, and the patterns running through the space.” The master bedroom, revealing a vaulted ceiling, motif laden fabrics and a veneer-clad feature wall, renders a sense of warmth and elegance. The kitchen holds a relatively subtle appeal, featuring wooden tones and chequered flooring, with cane and fabric pendant lights blending into the subdued scheme yet becoming focal elements within the space.

Thoughtful and evocative, this 1,800sqft home in Lower Parel, Mumbai, was skillfully executed for young couple Nishit Gupta, owner of fashion house Kalki, and his wife Saloni Saraf (@salonisaraf). Kavan Shah, an award-winning architect, whose most recent accolade is being a recipient at GoodHomes Awards 2023, is fearless when it comes to juxtapositioning Indian art with modern forms, and working with contrasting and subdued patinas that evoke a sense of nostalgia. For this project, the architect of the eponymous design firm, along with interior designer Disha Shah, the aim rested on redefining the concept of home as a sanctuary, with a minimalistic yet luxurious aesthetic. As a result, the design balances elevated elements with artisanal touches, resulting in a warm and understated ambiance. The space features a main master bedroom, a guest bedroom, and an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, seamlessly flowing together. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning views of the cityscape, establishing a strong connection with the surroundings. The interior design emphasises tranquility, with off-white walls, dark walnut flooring, soft textiles, sisal rugs, and tropical plants creating a soothing atmosphere. The carefully curated furniture and decor include brands such as Jaipur Rugs, AKFD, Magnolia, WestElm, Cotton & Satins, White Teak, and Hatsu. The artwork displayed includes paintings by Anila Govindappa ("Cake" painting against the dining area) and Richa Kashelkar. The space embraces imperfections, with details like peeling plaster and raw concrete adding character. The design reflects Kavan's vision while incorporating high-quality materials such as Marquino and Michelangelo marble and walnut wood flooring.
