Architects Huzefa Rangwala and Jasem Pirani are known for designing spaces high on colour and patterns. But when it came to designing a bachelor pad _they threw convention and the rule book out of the window. "Naked is a home that is undraped, undisguised, and unexaggerated. Our client's bold vision and unconventional brief required us to envision a 1,000 sq ft bachelor's pad akin to Philip Johnson's Glass House with an open plan sans walls and doors. Essentially, we had to create a pavilion for viewing the hillock in the distance, a lucid space that offers seamless integration with the cityscape 15 floors above the ground,” says Rangwala.
They were given two one-bedroom units (each with living-dining space, kitchen, and bathroom), which they merged into one large unit. “We demolished all the walls to create one contiguous space that is further sprinkled with bare minimum furniture and in the process, we fashioned a home that is synonymous to a Galerie de sculptures with no patterns or colours," says Pirani.
