Home is a reflection of one’s dreams and aspirations – a free spirited sphere. If designed by a dear friend, it is nothing short of paradise. Such was the case with Architects Aamir & Hameeda Sharma, Principal Architects, AANDH, when a friend of theirs approached them to design his abode; earthy and rustic was his demand. The client wanted every element of the décor to reflect his family’s personality and philosophy, but was also working on a tight budget. This set the tone for the Bohemian design that is reflected in the space.

The client’s apartment, spanning around 3,000 sq ft, is set in a serene environment overlooking the vast landscape of the Golconda Fort. The client’s limited requirements and the physical setting of the apartment helped to create a metaphoric design palette that resonates in every interior element of the apartment. The architects refrained from using a conventional false ceiling and opted for distressed white stained sleeper wood as well as 2’x4’ cement tiles for flooring to weave together the living spaces. This set the tone for a bold yet subtle design language interspersed by interesting décor elements.
