Scandinavian Sanctuary

Approached with no brief or specific design requirement, TS Design works had to resort to its principles of creating an inside-outside connection with minimal intervention of colours and overpowering interiors.

Since this 1500 square foot apartment lies in the lap of open surroundings with gymkhana on the north side that allows ample light to flood in, the key concept was to stick to natural materials and a pastel colour palette which would give a Scandinavian vibe to this house.

The house belongs to a young banker who lives with her son and parents. The challenge in this house was the short time and we completed it in less than 3 months. The client wanted optimum storage which we provided without cluttering the space and gave ample room for movement.

The apartment had huge columns unevenly placed in all rooms. So, we had to clad these offsets in the rooms that led to panelling all bedside walls and triggered our design. And that, for us, is important as our concepts are contextually relevant and site- specific.

Overall, the house has a minimalist style with a hint of decoration. The upholsteries and accessories have an organic texture, and addition of plants in this well-lit house connects the house with outside and creates a dialectal relationship between inside and outside.
