A detailed concept note:
A holiday home nestled amid the lush environs of six-acre land in Jaipur has been transformed into a serene haven of art, glamour and exclusive luxury by Beyond Designs. The traditional bones of the home meet richly crafted contemporary interiors in a timeless blend. Classic and modern elements brush shoulders without a shred of discord setting off a myriad mood that instantly charm the onlooker.
Designers Sachin and Neha give their signature maximalist style a new twist by setting a clean, neutral backdrop for the captivating drama they unleash in the foreground.
The main residence is spread across two stories, featuring seven en suite bedrooms and a powder room. The adjacent structure by the pool houses the bar and library.
True to their style, the designers create a refreshing and uplifting symphony of diverse styles and idioms of design at the outset itself.
They mix materials, textures, and finishesaudaciously. From a range of wood tones from nude to rich, distressed paint to sophisticated hues, sparkling crystal to gleaming brass, an array of stones to disparate textiles, a rich composition is on display. The vast selection of materials fashioned to add immense interest to the interiors takes the eye from one feature to the other. Earthy notes set off opulent accents.
The furniture, lights, wall panels, and mirrors, specially crafted in-house by Beyond Designs give shape to the unique vision of the designers for the expansive holiday home.
Another main attraction of the home is an eye-catching curation of artworks that vary from the scaled-up, statement-making mythological ones to charming contemporary ones to monochromatic ones, with some original canvases thrown in. The accessories sourced from around the world add diverse moods from elegant to playful to quirky.
The double-height living room is airy with a white palette, where a vibrant selection of artworks, furniture, and soft furnishings add color, character, and warmth. A gorgeous bunch of crystal and brass lights crowns the dining space like a jewel. Raw wooden paneling offers a sober backdrop to the high-voltage proceedings. The table is a work of art showcasing intricate paisley inlay work with MoP highlights. As in all their projects, the bar is the pièce de résistance where style and glamour are taken to a new level.
The bedrooms are more contemporary, decorated with peppy modern artworks and some classical touches.
The exteriors too see an eclectic fusion of materials and styles. While the wooden pillars and sloped roofs are reminiscent of southern architecture, native pink stone pillars ground them in the regional context. Large stone sculptures strewn across the landscape bring the design scheme together in an idiom that is full of character.
