RUSTIC REFLECTIONS

Punctuating the urban landscape of Tamil Nadu’s capital is this 9,000 sq ft house that celebrates nature and indigenous arts. An earthy palette is juxtaposed with vibrant artworks and set against a classic backdrop of wood and marble. The result is a tranquil and contemporary space as conceptualised by Rupesh Baid of And Design Co. “Opening the doors of this home is like opening a novella. Every wall, surface and corner has a story of its own. It comes together in a unique coalition to celebrate the personalities of my clients Rajesh and Chelna Bohra, while also providing a place where their three young sons can form an identity of their own as part of a young family. The home, therefore, offers minimalism to appeal to the youth, while craftsmanship and art are intended to appease the older generation,” says the principal designer.
