Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] Elegance in Harmony: A Contemporary Residence in Banswara Nestled in the serene locale of Banswara, Rajasthan, this exquisite 6500 sq.ft. residence epitomizes elegance and functionality which the designer and now the house owners call is “sukoon”. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, this 3 BHK home seamlessly integrates a library, a rejuvenating jacuzzi, a modern gym, and an inviting outdoor terrace seating area. The ground floor, ingeniously designed as a commercial space, is discreetly concealed, preserving the home’s aesthetic integrity with a captivating grid pattern and lush greenery that harmonizes with the surroundings.
A Fusion of Japandi Serenity and Scandinavian Functionality: The interior design of this residence beautifully marries Japandi principles—characterized by the tranquil Zen elements of Japanese design—with the clean, functional aspects of Scandinavian style. The result is a harmonious blend of earthy tones and minimalist warmth, evident throughout the space.
In the living room, the walls are adorned with a soft, earthy wash, setting a serene backdrop for the carefully chosen furnishings. The upholstery and furniture, enveloped in warm tones, create a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. Noteworthy are the rattan chairs, which add a touch of natural elegance, and the subtle niches lined with wooden planks that introduce a refined texture. An arched passageway gracefully leads to the dining area, where small arch-shaped niches showcase vibrant art pieces, enhancing the room’s charm.
A Culinary Dream and Masterful Retreats: The kitchen stands as a testament to modern design, featuring a chic combination of wood, brass, and cement textures. Its airy, fresh ambiance invites culinary creativity. The master bedroom exudes sophistication, highlighted by a wooden frame with cane screening behind the bed, adding a touch of richness. The room’s full-size arched windows open to reveal a view of the living area, merging spaces seamlessly. The walk-in closet continues the design language with its streamlined, elegant approach.
In the grandparents’ room, the use of full-size arched windows and contoured ceiling elements ensures continuity with the overall design. The bed rest mirrors the arched theme, while wooden flooring and earthy tones create a cozy, harmonious environment.
Vibrant Youthfulness: The daughter’s room bursts with vibrancy and coziness, featuring abstract monochromatic tree wallpaper and a dynamic ceiling design. The use of wood and wooden flooring contributes to the room’s warm, inviting ambiance.
Cultural Elegance: The pooja room offers a cultural touch with lotuses suspended from the ceiling and brass-lined lotus patterns on the white stone flooring, infusing the space with a rich, positive energy.
Unique Design Features – Macrame Artistry and Outdoor Bliss: A standout feature of the home is the custom macrame wall hangings that adorn the staircase wall. These earthy-hued macrame flowers in the foyer entrance create a focal point, showcasing bespoke artistry that complements the overall design narrative. The balcony is a dreamlike retreat, complete with chic exterior furniture, macrame curtains, a rattan ceiling, and clay pot murals, providing a perfect blend of comfort and style.
This residence in Banswara is a masterclass in integrating aesthetics with functionality, offering a tranquil retreat that beautifully reflects the harmonious fusion of Japandi and Scandinavian design principles. Its thoughtful layout and design elements ensure that every space, from the grand to the intimate, resonates with elegance and warmth.
