Innholdsfortegnelse for June 2020 i The Ideal Home and Garden

Working remotely has become the new norm. My colleagues and family members have become faces I see only on-screen these days. Yes, I know we have to adjust, and change the way we do things and even in the middle of this pandemic, we have found ways to keep moving - at a distance. And yet I find it difficult sometimes, my screen time has increased to 15 hours a day, I have been diagnosed with a rare eye problem, but like they say, ‘The show must go on.’ Team TIHG recognises the hard times that everyone is facing during this COVID 19 crisis, but we would like to assure you that we are doing our best to keep you engaged and motivated through various mediums and platforms.

The young owners wanted a beautiful home with cosy corners, bright and open feel with a few generic materials like marble flooring, wood to add warmth. When the designer’s team started showing them references, they realised that the owners did not have a particular language that was constant throughout the space. That is where Ali’s expertise came into the picture. Instead of treating this as a limitation, he decided to evoke an eclectic feel by designing each room differently, getting various materials together and lending a vibe that has an ideal mix of elements coming together to create a desired zone. As you enter the formal den, the wooden flooring doubles up as panelling on the wall and flows further to form a part of the ceiling. It immediately catches…

Invested in to serve the dreams of the present and the future, this magnificent family home was diligently considered in all ways by the client. The design foundation was based along Vaastu lines, as per the client’s requirements, which the incredible visionaries at Khushalani Associates welcomed as a promising opportunity. What was a vacant plot inside a gated community, surrounded by lush greenery, was constructed in ways that helped create spaces in the house that were customized to meet the personal requirements of each member of the family. Based on the clear dictates of Vaastu, the client wanted a strict rectangular plan with a ‘Brahmasthana’ (open zone) in the center of the house, with the orientation of the main door, kitchen, temple and master bedroom decided by it. Rather than…

A home is not just a wall bound structure where the weary come to rest; it is at the very foundation of one’s identity and the owner’s of this magnificent house were deeply aware of this. It was thus at the very forefront of their brief that Indian culture and traditions be incorporated into the design plan. Residing in Bahrain, they wanted this home to convey their values that they want to pass on to their children. Thus traditional infused with contemporary was the décor style that Thought Parallels’ architects chose for this loving family of four. Located within a private enclave, connected yet away from the chaos of Kozhikode city, the home was designed with the warmth and care appropriate for a familial space. The architects chose a harmonious…

Design Elites The May 2020 issue of TIHG was a big treat in itself. The article where ten top designers of repute from different backgrounds sharing their experience, expertise and skills was a delight to read. The article gave a lot of insight about how with proper planning set goals can be a c h i eve d . The editor should focus more on such designers/architects once every alternate issue or after every three issues. Sarvesh Pradhan, Mumbai Garden Trends A good garden is always a great inspiration.

I want to…

Inspired by the purity and movement of water, the ‘Ice Cube Flower Vase’ launched by Yasanche is a spell binding accessory by virtue of its realistic detailing. As part of the Water Series by the brand, the incredible decor accessory made in translucent resin is the output of eight intricate hand-processed techniques that render each piece different. Thus making the final product with its noticeable ‘cracked effect’ to replicate real melting ice, a striking visual delight for any space.(yasanche.com) 1.

An apartment located on the 9th floor of a city building and a client brief that called for a strong consideration of Vaastu beliefs, is what Shilpa Jain Balvally and Sameer Balvally of Studio Osmosis walked into when this BKC Residence project in Mumbai came to them. The client was certain that they wanted a décor style that was minimalistic and contemporary and yet exudes exquisite class. And this defined, guided and ignited a magnetic spark in the design task as the team got to work. The residence came with Bottochino marble flooring and well-designed bathrooms, and hence the furniture, upholstery and colours were the areas where the studio stepped in with their expertise. The apartment itself consisted of a large living room at the center and two bedrooms on…
