Project Description

This project comprises of weekend residences of two brothers on adjacent sites. Creating a break-away from the daily life of schedules and deadlines, these houses are a secondary home away from city-life. With similar architectural shells, the interior design concepts for each house were treated differently, catering to their unique requirements and personalities, which stemmed from very similar backgrounds. Every detail was treated as an opportunity to create fun elements, that functionally and aesthetically combine to produce unique environments. Integrating the Gujarati culture of relaxing on swings and outdoor lounging, the semi-outdoor pool areas of both houses have been turned into positively charged functional spaces. Similarly, the semi-outdoor terrace areas are treated as exciting places where every square foot of flooring has a different story to tell. The usage of bold colors, quirky elements like whimsical birds and family caricatures serve as happy ‘pause’ points, reinstating the weekend holiday spirit.
