Chasing Serenity

Chiselled volumes, commissioned, striking artworks and understated luxury define this home, designed by Architect Rupesh Baid in Indore

- 

As the early morning mist lifts gradually, the sleepy city of Indore comes into view. On one side is the old city, undergoing a slow change in its architecture, while the other, newer area showcases its trendy development. It is in this new side, when the road curves and meanders into the interiors of the Bicholi area, an ultracontemporary home comes into view. Surrounded by total greenery, the house is in a truly international style – albeit with an Indian soul and a young heart.

Designed by architect Rupesh Baid of Mumbaibased AND Design Co, the home of a well-travelled, entrepreneur couple, personifies the spirit of young India. The gist of the home is simple – large, open spaces, seemless movement, contemporary and functional elements, and lots and lots of greens. In fact, of the 2,500 sq mt ground area, only 1,000 sq mt is the built-up. The structure is placed in the midst of a pretty garden that attracts, peacocks, birds and other woodland creatures.
