KUMPAL AND ASSOCIATES HAVE DESIGNED A FULLY-FUNCTIONAL, MAINTENANCE-FREE BUNGALOW IN PUNE FOR A NUCLEAR FAMILY.
Spread across 5,000 sq. ft., this ground plus one bungalow in Pune is designed by Kumpal and Associates not as a holiday home but as another fully-functional home, where their clients plan to divide their time between this new home and their residence in Mumbai. Hence, each room is designed as per personal preferences of each family member along with common areas and a full-fledged kitchen.
“Our client wanted a maintenance-free home, as they would not be staying there all their time. Also they wanted a nice bungalow feel, that felt different from their Mumbai abode,” says principal designer Kumpal Mittal of Kumpal and Associates. By approaching the project with a ‘Less is More’ design philosophy, the emphasis is laid on creating intrigue via focal points and highlight corners rather than cluttering the home. Throughout the project, Kumpal has been ably assisted by interior designer Komal Jain.
Stone clad walls and materials such as glass and solid wood have been especially used to keep maintenance low, whilst an earthy palette of predominantly browns and greys exude a one-with-nature feel. Also the extensive use of wood in the rafters, furniture, panel cladding etc. brings warmth to the overall space. Sloping roofs provide great heights and the application of rafters in the bedrooms lend character. Soft yellow lighting with a combination of direct and indirect lights has been incorporated to create a soothing ambience.
