Where practicality meets panache—this Bengaluru home by Principal designer Shernavaz Bharucha of Shernavaz Interiors is a snug state-of-the-art sanctum sectioned as an independent extension to a modern millennial couple’s classic bungalow. 

Sprawling over a 3,300 sq ft space the sundered structure is sufficient with a separate entrance, kitchen, dining and living area. 

Sparked by a sightly play of natural light and shadows, the residence showcases recurring features of ample window-openings and strapping skylights within its blueprint.

Flaunting facets of romantic roots in its form, the residence is an alluring amalgam of Parisian charm and contemporary New York city character. Tones of wood, marble, metal and glass make up a minimal mood board striking a fine balance between functional and artful design. 

Imbuing an inviting impression right from the entrance of the home is the foyer. Meticulously fitted mirrored wall panelling reflects the black and white marble inlay patterned flooring, expending the narrow space with a scopic illusion.

Tracing an artful contrast throughout the homestead, an eclectic curation of furniture crafts a prismatic juxtaposition against the light-toned tenor of the dwelling.

Manifesting a muted medley of grey and royal blue hues is the master suite composed with delicate accents, upholstered wall panel frames and custom-built furniture, the enclosure excites an intimate semblance.
