Perched on the 14th floor, this apartment captures breath-taking views of the Surat skyline. Spacious layouts and functionality drive the design narrative, ensuring ease of movement and accessibility. The entire house is nuanced with custom, elegant pieces made on-site to meet the homeowners' lifestyle.
Upon entering the home of Ar. Sagar Rathod and Ar. Mansi Rathod, something immediately stands out. It registers first as a feeling, a shift in one’s perception of calmness “SUKOON”, which was the central idea around which the whole design revolves. An open planning concept has been adopted wherein the kitchen opens up as a space to entertain the occupants, where one could serve without being cut off from conversation when entertaining guests- which manifests as a creative dining area extending in the living room
An eye- catching mural adorns the ceiling of the guest room which again opens up into the living room and merge into a single space. The living room is accentuated with small elements like the fabric hanging light, hand painted art behind the temple etc. May it be the calming, neutral material palette of the house or the hues on the walls or the soothing textiles. Every nook and corner including the common basin is derived in an artistic manner making it the perfect abode for the architects.
The keen selection of materials; birch wood, along with green kota and concrete flooring gives a contemporary rustic vibe to the residence. The master room is kept simple, wherein a painting in fabric highlights the bed back. The toilet cubicle protrudes in glass bricks rendering a unique identity to the room. The flooring pattern in the parents’ room has been wrapped on the wall which defines the bed back feature.
Piccolo tiles adorn the bathroom, evoking tranquillity with an almost spa-like ambiance. The home is a comfortable and unique spot for the family to sink into the softness of the custom-made beige sofa and the art-piece that complements the wall behind. Even when one enters, the vestibule feels like an artwork in itself with the wall mural and hand painted console. Elegantly designed centre table in the living room synchronises with the flooring pattern, intertwining the whole space together.
