Words like modular, prefab, and turnkey have their rightful place in the world of design. This weekend home in silchar, however, is not one of them. Here, every cushion is bespoke, tailored from fabric which would perfectly complement the home’s palette.The flooring feature cut tiles in multiple layers, chandeliers, vintage sconces, and antique mirrors, with vanities fabricated from beautifully molded marble. In designing the home, attention to detail wasn't just important; it was almost sacrosanct. After all, our clients could hardly settle for anything less.
A home where they can flop on comfortable sofas in the living room, work on their designs and meetings in the enclosed courtyard, or have a formal dinner; where all the living spaces on the ground floor open into each other, creating an airy, high-ceilinged space for guests to float around and engage. The result is a home that is a striking personification of quiet luxury across 3,500 square feet.
The home exudes luxury through its unique and carefully curated elements. Each piece of furniture is a one-of-a-kind creation, customized by local artisans using reclaimed wood. The lighting fixtures are a mix of vintage finds from local shops and bespoke designs based on original sketches. Textiles, such as hand-quilted bedspreads and meticulously tailored cushions, are chosen with great care.
Sustainability is at the core of the home's design, with a focus on local craftsmanship and materials sourced from the region. Art is a central theme in the home, evident in the diverse Indian stone flooring that features sandstone, kota, jaisalmer, kadappa, nagalooty, and more, accented with brass inlays. The master bathroom is a showcase of layered cut tiles, vintage sconces, and a custom vanity with beautifully crafted marble, reflecting the artistic essence of the homeowner.
The interior architecture of the house is designed to be adaptable, embodying the concept of an airy open plan while allowing for privacy when needed. Wooden folding doors and French glass panels demarcate the spaces, enabling the homeowners to tailor the home's layout to their needs. The seamless flow from one area to another, from the hallway to the bedrooms, kitchen, living spaces, and the verdant verandah to the enclosed courtyard, underscores the home's design ethos. Towering ceilings, soaring over 10 feet, lend a regal and expansive feel to the interiors.
