Unveiled In the heart of a verdant oasis teeming with rare avian life, Visamo emerges as an architectural abode and a transformative interior design project by UrbanNest Design Studio. Nestled near a densely vegetated area, this residential bungalow unfolds as a harmonious sanctuary for a multi-generational family of six, featuring elderly parents, a son, a daughter-in-law, a daughter, and their beloved companion, Bruno.
Visamo is not merely a dwelling; it is a carefully orchestrated blend of Scandinavian elegance and a contemporary interpretation of traditional interiors, culminating in a cohesive and timeless family haven tailored to the unique tastes and needs of each family member. The meticulous design process of Visamo is a journey that revolves around the well-being, preferences, and individuality of each family member. The integration of traditional elements with contemporary design and the celebration of individual tastes within a cohesive family home stands as the pinnacle of the design process, promising a timeless and harmonious living experience for generations.
This experiential journey begins with a user-centric approach, where every detail, from the interactive front garden to pet-friendly elements, is thoughtfully crafted to prioritize the well-being and individuality of each family member. A unique facet of Visamo's design is the thoughtful consideration given to Bruno, the furry family member, seamlessly integrating pet-friendly elements into the overall design. From durable materials to dedicated spaces, the design ensures Bruno is not merely accommodated but fully embraced as an integral part of the family home.
Visamo's architectural finesse extends to the strategic use of open plans, volume, and layering of materials, creating spaces that break proportions and offer peep-out spots to admire nature's beauty and rare birds. The fusion between raw and modern material palettes, featuring handmade clay tiles and raw beige lime plaster, is accentuated by the use of arches and curves, contributing to the overall design harmony.
The architectural narrative unfolds with Visamo's focus on integrating natural surroundings into the living space. The journey continues as the bungalow opens to a seamless connection between the spacious living and drawing rooms, extending into a front garden adorned with a swing. Here, Bruno finds joy, making the expansive space his safe playground. The staircase, illuminated by natural light, serves as a focal point, providing a sense of openness and lightness. The triple-height puja room, visible from each floor, adds grandeur and spirituality.
Three meticulously crafted master bedrooms showcase a blend of materials expressing individual personalities. Master Bedroom 1 captivates with an eye-catching hand-painted feature wall, while Master Bedroom 2 introduces sophistication with stone veneer. Master Bedroom 3 embraces luxury through Italian fluted marble, showcasing a commitment to personalized and elegant living. Balconies and terraces on the first and second floors create serene green oases within the home, connecting the family with nature and providing additional outdoor living spaces.
As the experiential sequence ventures indoors, the interior design unfolds as a careful balance of Scandinavian elegance and modern functionality. Extensive exploration of materials and joinery techniques creates a unique and luxurious living environment. Refined stucco texture in the living room, Italian marble flooring, and personalized elements like hand-painted feature walls and stone veneer contribute to a sophisticated atmosphere throughout the residence.
Visamo transcends the realm of a mere residence, evolving into a carefully crafted living experience. The architectural features embrace natural light and surroundings, while interior design concepts delicately balance tradition with modernity. It stands as a testament to the successful integration of Scandinavian elegance with modern functionality. This meticulous journey, prioritizing the needs, preferences, and well-being of each family member, culminates in a space that not only meets but exceeds the client's vision—a timeless and harmonious living experience for generations to come.
