A BALANCING ACT

Mansi Tarneja's latest project echoes an aesthetic union of modern concepts with a hint of traditional elements

I love mixing and matching materials , décor; and art subtly . Each area stands out without drawing too much attention to any one aspect. I layered things and designed all the areas, and went with a delicate palette for the flooring and the fixed furniture.

As effervescent as an artist painting a blank canvas, Mansi perfects the art of designing all her projects with great precision. Graduated from Raffles Design International, with a focus in interior design, Mansi pursued Masters in Sustainable Interior Environments from The New York School of Interior Design.

A summer offshore in DIS, Denmark, further enhanced her furniture design skills. Being a LEED GA, she aims to integrate the use of sustainable techniques in all her projects.

I started creating sketches based on my initial vision inspired by mullions and nature. The rectangular form from the mullions was used to create geometric patterns that flowed all around the house. The same rectangular shape became the louvres, fluted patterns, grill design, cantilevered shell and even became the console below the living room paintings.
