A rhythm of comfort first grips the senses as soon as one steps inside this home in Bengaluru. Then comes the visual symphony of rich colours, materials and textures that stays with you as you meander across the sprawling 5,000 sq ft area. Designed by House of Ruya, the home originally comprised six bedrooms, later modified to suit the needs of the joint family it harbours.
Led by principal designer Aishwarya Govind, the transformation of the space rested on the initial brief of the family, in how they sought for the apartment to marry the elegance of traditional Indian design with clean lines and contemporary sensibilities. With a deep appreciation for diverse traditions and art, “Another criteria we had to fulfil was of creating bespoke elements — something that is unique for the brief given while blending the concepts of traditional and modern,” explains Aishwarya.
