Embedded in a plain philosophy of design approach, the residence for two is located on the outskirts of Surat with plenty of open space around the plot. Originally a weekend house, the structure is a part of a gated community with abundant vegetation and fresh air, something that is difficult to discover in the bustling and fast-growing city of Surat. The G+1 volume has its openings facing the common road that runs along the plot area. The exterior of the bungalow gives off an impression of a weekend home, with a sloping roof gracing the elevational treatment and balconies stepping out to oversee the softscape and hardscape design in the common plot. The front facade sees a role glass, plaster, and wooden cladding, showcasing a balanced palette of transparency and opaqueness. The ground floor occupies the common area, which hosts an open plan between the living, dining area, and kitchen. The clientele requirements were quite brief: they desired a home with plenty of natural light paired with simplistic furniture designs to adorn the space. With this brief, the interior designers came up with an original concept and idea for the couple’s home. The built-up space covers an area of 1500 sq. ft. with the primary concern of keeping the design welcoming and intimate. The design language of the interiors has a contemporary dialogue that flows around the house. The contemporary impressions come out in wall paneling, furnishings, color palette, textures, and lighting fixtures too. The familial spaces have a theme of black and white. The classic combination of colors is paired with a design pedagogy that makes the space stand out. The living room is painted white, while the light-gray fabric of the couch highlights the space. The teal-colored poufs and pillows bring in a wave of pop in a light and steady backdrop. The white paneling on the walls makes up for a TV unit and it continues its play to the dining area. The veneer encompassing the dining table and chairs compliment the white paneling and the splash of black in the kitchen beyond. The lighting fixture for the dining area has a rustic and chic vibe to it which intensifies the space’s value. The kitchen stands out very boldly and bravely with its sides smeared in black. The overhead cabinets and drawers have a similar design approach, with black duco coating and golden- colored handles. The glass cabinets with golden knobs give the kitchen a very quaint feel. A breakfast counter blends in with the kitchen, highlighted by a pair of bar stools. The pairing of monochrome colors falls in line with the client’s wish of achieving simplicity. The whites of the space make the room look bigger when it receives plenty of natural light from the openings. The ground floor consists of a bedroom with an attached bathroom and a common washroom. The ground floor bedroom is aligned in a similar color scheme except the white is put together with a shade of light pastel green. The white paneling behind the head of the bed has a calming and sober effect with innocent grooves and an ornamental lighting fixture on both sides of the bed. The headboard is seen as an intricate piece of embroidery and brings in a sense of play in an overall simple layout. The side tables speak a pop of pastel while the cabinets and television unit camouflage with the wall. The dog- legged staircase is supported with black tainted glass. The first floor is occupied by three bedrooms and a pooja room. They follow a similar theme of tranquil and simple colors. The master bedroom on the first floor has a color scheme of pastel green and white. The contemporary panel design lines up from the headboard to the cupboard. The quaint intricacies of pattern and embroidery on curtains and the bed’s back support add a touch of nonchalance. The bedroom facing the entrance carries a hint of gray, black, and white in its wake. The black sconces on both sides of the bed emanate a classical feeling. The children’s bedroom is approached with a playful yet mindful method. The sofa set placed within the cupboard space stretches into a bed when needed, a smart solution to make a space multi- functional. The pooja room is soothing to the eyes with its white and golden luminescence.

Rustic, weathered, slightly worn style & made to age gracefully.. In collaboration with a team at United States for execution. Developing a grand presidential suite (part of a luxury resort) with a built up area 350 sqm & a private swimming pool..

This 2.5-acre farmhouse set in Delhi’s Urban Sprawl, Chattarpur, is a weekend home for the family, who live in South of Delhi. The idea was to relish the landscaping and the waterbodies over the weekends which is a rare sight and a luxury in the city of Delhi. It is basically meant to be a home away from home over the weekends but at the same time they use it as a guest house for friends and extended family. They wanted a public and a private space within the house. In terms of the aesthetics the brief was extremely crisp. The idea was to convert this pre-built structure in to an Urban Swiss Chalet. The 5000-square foot built up space is spread over 2 floors. Not only we decided to break it down into a guest floor and a private floor but we also broke it down into a winter floor and a summer floor keeping the 4 seasons in Delhi in mind. The ground floor consists of an open plan with a kitchen, dining and living space. The living room was meant to be a dark, cosy space. We decided to create a fireplace within this space so it could be doubled as an entertaining space during the winter. The idea was create a very lived-in Swiss Chalet feel so it carries the mood of the structure inside. The morning light in the kitchen is lovely and it turns into a cosy breakfast place for the family to hang out and make breakfast together. The bedroom being on the ground level is mostly used as a guest room. The base of this room was to choose a tone that complements the wooden log ceiling. We chose a muted sage green with tonal curtains. The staircase to the first floor is made from reclaimed wood and the wall panelling also has reclaimed wood detailing. The walls are painted in a beautiful rich Blue Waltz. The Living Room on the first floor was created directly overlooking the infinity pool. The living room is coupled with a lovely home office and a terrace overlooking the pond where ducks play merry. This entire space is meant for entertaining personal and private guests. The space has a very airy vibe with large glazing on all sides overlooking the pool on one side and the landscaping on the others. Basis of the composition takes dark colour, which is rare in decoration of Indian residences. Even though it was a daunting task complementing the dark elements, each corner has been thoughtfully and tastefully curated to bring a sense of new. This space exudes its own style and young personality. The bedroom on the first floor is primarily used by the family members. The starting point for this space was the wall panelling leading to the artwork and then the customised bed linen to match the vibe of the artwork. Every unit of the bed linen has been customised by Sanjyt Syngh Design Studio.

This holistic project involved the design of a completely new space layout, as well as searching for perfect materials, furniture, decorations and tableware to match the already existing elements of the house. The key challenge concerning this project was to improve the layout, which was not functional and proportional. Balance on the interior between contemporary and retro was the key to achieve the effect of a coherent and welcoming space. Passionate about vintage, the client possessed a vast selection of old trinkets and furniture. The main focus of the project was how to include the sideboard,(from the 1850’s) which belonged to the client’s grandmother, and how to place harmoniously within the aerial space. To create this harmony, the tones represented on the sideboard’s vitrine were used as the colour mood for the house. The sideboard was placed in the central part of the space in order to be visible from the hall, kitchen, dining room and living room. The kitchen fittings are aligned with the worktop and top part of the chest of drawers. Green-grey glazing colour is a common element of all of the living spaces. In the the living room, the stage feeling is given by it’s main actor, the grand piano and the cabinets of curiosities, which were rearranged around it to create that effect. A neutral background consisting of the combination of soft walls and minimalist furniture in order to exhibit retro elements of the interior. Long live the vintage!
