New Delhi | Residential | Interior Design
This residence in Defence Colony serves as a strategic secondary home, designed for high-impact functionality with minimal structural intervention. Delivered on an accelerated 45-day timeline within a disciplined budget, the project caters to the requirements of a high-profile professional. The layout is optimized for the transitional periods between business engagements, offering dedicated zones for rest, fitness, and private dining.
While the floor plan prioritizes absolute privacy, the design incorporates two executive-grade suites specifically intended for hosting short-duration business meetings and private guest entertainment. The result is a refined sanctuary that balances the demands of a professional schedule with the necessity of a secluded personal retreat.
The entrance with an overlooking shaft being a prominent
backdrop and an opportunity to have a tiny experience niche providing a good source of indirect natural light. the shaft is planned as an accenting corner being peaceful inspired by japanese zen gardens.The walls of the shaft has a concentric texture inspired by zen gardens running all throughout and focusing the center of the main shaft wall highlighting the Buddha placed in front of that. The space is a common circulation area for all the rooms and also connected to service areas (powder room and kitchen). Along with the Buddha with texture background there a lot of greens adding a lively and calming experience and an illusion of shadows changing throughout the day with the intensity of diffused natural lighting. In front of the shaft are two black armchairs
placed with Dracaena Mahatma plants placed in nickel and rustic copper planters in front of shaft which placed in a formal and symmetric manner as a foreground to the shaft adding a Mediterranean touch.
The personal lounge is the most important and private space used for workout and entertainment. Design intent is of providing a retreat and re energizing experience. The room has a workout corner with a treadmill and center of room have an ultra luxurious sofa with an upholstered ottoman in front as a comfortable leg-rest and a center table if needed. The color of the wall is classic blue (the Pantone color of the year) along with mild accents of reds, coral color, browns and earthy textures, yielding a deadly combination of a energizing and comforting space. One side of the sofa is a huge painting of Patiala. Other side of the sofa is a stacked bookshelf that is an
assembly of simple geometric elements stacked together and creating a unique form. The media unit is main focal point with both workout area and lounge are aligned to it.Back site of the workout area is a rustic wooden sideboard with coral color Fibonacci pattern on it. The space is filled with few plants complementing the color pallet and the windows are dramatized with use of plants, white texture paint and accenting lights.
The dining area has all the old existing old mahogany furniture and is blended with lighter beige color striped wallpaper. Since the flooring is also beige, a black matt paneling has been added all throughout above skirting to break beige continuity and to add formal instinct. Its an additional groove skirting in the room. The main media unit has paneling on wall and some space to keep phone, Modem and Set-top box . The window with a surface outside with a grill has been added with Lemon grass, Aglaonema lady valentine, Money plants to dress the corner with a colorful plant cluster. Other that decoration, Lemongrass in also intended to repel the mosquitoes from the space. There is a huge wall in front of media unit which has two big classic lamps which are bigger than the standard scale being the only element on entire wall.
The bedroom is planned to be very simple and subtle way with the existing furniture, curtains and a few more pieces added to link it all to a common story. The study unit in front of bed extending the existing TV unit covering the complete TV wall.
Our client, residing in Defence Colony, decided to give their terrace a new dimension and utilize that space more effectively to cut down their heat gain. To complement their vision, we decided to turn the terrace into a private roof garden, which could occasionally be used as hosting space.
We focused on designing the terrace without disturbing the resident’s access to the service areas and complementing the lush panoramic forest-like views surrounding the site. Measures were taken to limit the heat gains by replacing materials like granite with Karappa stone at the bar and the toilet’s interiors were rendered black to sensationalize the feel of the space at night. Overall, the theme of the project is luxury driven and landscape centric.
Center of the entire entrance lobby has highly reflecting glass pendant light dividing the background view and adding to the symmetry if the space. The existing material pallet has a significant beige marble flooring adding a sense of luxury and warmth,The walls of entrance foyer are earthy brown with tiny dotted grains with standing out huge bananas painting next to the kitchen entry and a Dashavatar painting in passage to the bedroom.
The premium bar in the corner with a high gloss finish and
all black with an accent of walnut wood has been designed
to be well connected with the lounge and providing
luxurious hosting experience.
