Ramitha Anand and Prashanth Patil, co-founders of The Design Collaborative, were asked to “design a modern, minimalistic home that is functional with clean aesthetics. The priority was to bring in as much light and ventilation as possible and create a warm and cosy ambience with a neutral colour palette and subtle textures”.

While the designers sourced some pieces from Ikea and West Elm, most of the furniture, like the sofas, was custom-made by their in-house team. The centre table with quartz top and sleek metal legs accentuates the contemporary aesthetics of the living room.

The open kitchen sports an L-shaped counter and a split-level island that doubles as a breakfast counter. “The pastel-coloured PU [polyurethane] lacquered cabinets provide respite from the neutral finishes in the rest of the house. The drop lights above the island and the solid-wood and metal bar stools further enhance the charm of this kitchen,” says Anand. Transom windows keep the area bright and airy.

Tucked away in a niche close to the kitchen is a solid-wood dining table. Like in the kitchen, patterned floor tiles adorn the floor.
Tiles throughout the house: Chhabria tiles; custom dining table and chairs: The Design Collaborative.

The master bedroom has an attached walk-in closet. The bed frame is made of wood, while the headboard is fabric. Linear drop lights flank the bed and complement the symmetry of the windows.

Wooden flooring provides an inviting and warm vibe to the kid’s bedroom. “The day bed can be extended into a full-size bed, thus doubling as a guest bed when required,” says Patil.
A chest of drawers, bookshelves and built-in wardrobe provide ample storage.

I like the floor to ceiling curtains along the wall in the living room. They really elongate the space. Also the mint colour in the kitchen. What a calming cool kitchen, especially in such a hot country, cool, calm colours are essential.
