4 Multi-Generational Indian Homes That Embrace Modern Minimalism
Take cues from inspiring spaces by Dipen Gada & Associates, Uneven, UA Lab and The Pure Concept Home
Love sleek, stylish and sifted spaces? These four multigenerational homes can be an inspiration for those of us who love straightforward layout, limited ornamentation and an overall directness in form and function, in addition to managing all the design needs for a large family.
Occasional doses of accent colour on the staircase, wall and artwork, juxtaposed with the neutral base palette, maintain a grounded yet spirited vibe across the board. The accessible arrangement fosters unhindered flow of function and the crisp make-up vitalises the areas so that both the younger and elder residents feel comfortable.

Who lives here: A couple, their child, a spouse’s parents
Straightforward materiality from marble floors, exposed concrete surfaces and wood paneling; abundant daylight from large windows, doors and clerestory windows; punches of colour and vivacity from large artworks; and clear volumes from the double-height ceiling and gable roofs – they all come together to shape the modern-minimalist appeal of this home for three generations.

Similar vignettes are carried forward to the living spaces of the house, maintaining a homogeneous continuity throughout. Plush upholstery counters the austerity of the metal trusses and nods to the modish make of the rooms.

For this three-generation home, the designers adopted an open-plan layout and refined the decor to achieve functionality, comfort and aesthetics despite limited space and budget.
