FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK
Home is in the Mind...
O
pulence in character and grand-
ness of vision may create an
amazing house, but for a home
they are not sufficient characteristics; no
not even the necessary ones.
A well designed home should ideally
reflect the persona of its residents.
Then only the people living in it on a
daily basis would develop a comfort
factor with the non living products and
materials surrounding them. House is in
the materials, but home is in the minds
of people...
Thus the role of a great or even a good
home designer not only involves dexter-
ity and imagination but also a deep
sense of understanding of the minds of
the residents of her/his project.
The customised design and décor can
create a personalised ambience, which
in turn can make an impersonal bunga-
low or a mundane flat very much living
to its residents.
Of course, along with customisation,
nowadays, with the threat of global
warming endangering the planet,
sustainability is another crucial factor
towards the creation of a great home.
In fact, in today’s times, all man-made
architecture needs to be as much ‘green’
as feasible.
In this issue, the bungalow of Karan
Bhosale is being presented, which beau-
tifully exudes the identity of the resi-
dents through creative play of materials,
colours and textures.
We have covered some other interest-
ing projects, which include the Twin
Homes project, where the design team
has endeavoured at creating a bridge
between Indian and western architectural
styles, while maintaining a perfect amal-
gamation of privacy and luxury.
The article about the Bandra apartment
of the well-known celebrity couple,
Ashmit Patel and his gorgeous and
glamorous partner and fiancée, Mahek
Chahal, a project where Ficus Fine Living
has given its designing inputs, is also
worthy of exploration and inspiration.
We have also covered a wonderful office
of Droom.in, where design promotes
creativity and reflects utility. The design
effectively meets the objective of creat-
ing a workspace that not only promotes
a productive work environment but
also works as a marketing tool for the
present and potential clients, partners,
and employees. In this office project, the
creative and utilitarian elements are very
intelligently merged together.
The brief descriptions of some inspiring
projects are supplemented by company
profiles and relevant news pertaining to
the industry. I hope the issue makes for
interesting reading for our valued read-
ers, as I wish them all a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year in advance. See
you all in 2019…with designs of new
hopes and aspirations.

INTERVIEW INTERVIEW
Adding
“Enrichment”
to Space
The interaction with Kunal Katyal,
Managing Director, Konig Group, gave
glimpses about his business vision and
the reasons behind his success story.
The excerpts of the interview with the
passionate entrepreneur follow:
What are the design practice principles that
you follow?
With an experience of over a decade and a
commitment to attain the highest level of proficiency
in today’s exponentially growing construction and
interior design segment, my principle is to envision
and establish a design that not only makes great
economic sense in terms of applicability and efficiency
but also has an impact on social prosperity.
With a blend of human need, environmental steward-
ship, value creation, and through amalgamation of
science and art we attain our goals.
Our vast experience and reach in the Indian market
allows us to perceive an excellent opportunity for any
kind of design, project management & construction
works. We are also engaged in specialised works for
various structures. Our very first project – a corpo-
rate office for Infraco Asia, a Singapore-based firm,
bagged an award. Understanding a client’s vision
and requirement while treating her/his sanctuary with
dignity is the hallmark of our functioning style.
We combine passionate enthusiasm with sophisti-
cated elegance and discerning attention to detail.
Our designs are bent towards sustainable and green
architecture, focusing on integrating
elements from nature. Our firm believes
and practices in developing structures
that enhance and enrich one’s experi-
ence.
Kindly throw some light on your
clientele and your gamut of works?
Boasting a rich legacy of esteemed
clients like HSIIDC, HUDA, PWD and
NDMC for infrastructure; banks such
as HDFC, Kotak, ICICI, and AU Bank;
corporates such as Barclays, American
Express, GE Money, InfraCO Asia, Pear-
son, INDIACAN, AES, TATA BlueScope
etc., the firm encompasses public infra-
structure planning, urban design, archi-
tecture, scenography, broadcast design,
furniture design and interior design.
We conceptualise and execute contem-
porary designs, incorporating an amal-
gamation of construction practices
infused with traditional planning tech-
niques; favouring stamp concreting and
precast building materials. This contrib-
utes to durability and time-efficiency and
bring in low carbon footprint.
Share something about the team
and the firm?
Following Konig Group’s emergence
in 2010 with just five members, today I
head offices in 9 states pan-India, which
is indicative of our technical and design
expertise. We have offices in the US
and Dubai with Hong Kong and London
office planned. Konig Group entails the
constant endeavour to grow construc-
tively. Our design elements combine
functionality and clarity.
A valuable lesson learnt from
your practice?
According to me, passion and curios-
ity aren’t always in search of an imme-
diate outcome. Eventually, it is about
observing situations—whether it is a
process, an object, or a place—and
having a belief that we can always better
ourselves.
What is your advice to budding
architects & designers?
Create, live and express. One must
be free in expressing and bringing out
the latent potential within her/him.
Budding architects should come in the
field with all new ideas and zeal.

Amidst Greenery
For Patil Gardenia in Vijayapura in Karnataka, the Architect Manish Devagirkar wanted
an eco-friendly project with expanse of greenery. The project needed to be cost-effective,
where the local materials in and around the Vijayapur city would be utilised. At the same
time, he wanted the project to become a landmark for the Vijayapur city.
A
narrow stretch of land measur-
ing 120’x1000’, surrounded by a
dense fabric of residential and
educational institutions, was earmarked
for the project. The client Mr Sunil Patil
was looking at utilising this piece of
land for hosting events, which could
generate revenue. The site is located
on the BM Patil road, around 5km from
the vijayapur bus stand, with the nearest
airport 180 km away, in Hubli.
The site is gradually sloping towards
east and the contours have been made
use of in the design language as a visual
connection to the spaces in different
levels. Manish Devagirkar Architects
made use of the linearity of the site,
which facilitated to come up with
simple, unique and a better function
design. The design programme was
drafted to make the place a multi-event
space. Pockets were created in the same
space to host events of different scales
and intents, but there was flexibility in
integrating these pockets to host a large
event. The project was done in a way
where the small events could happen
simultaneously.
This break-up of spaces has been
judiciously done, keeping in mind the
events that could take place here. There
is a clear demarcation of the quieter and
noisier zones.
The project has been divided into five
zones. The first zone consists of the
parking space. It can house 50 cars and
100 two wheelers. The second zone is
the multipurpose hall serving as confer-
ence halls, small gatherings, exhibition

space, etc. The third zone is the Grand
Lawn with the stage and the green
rooms. The fourth zone has the banquet
rooms. The fifth zone is the small event
lawn.
The complex has a large multipurpose
hall which can host conferences, talks,
exhibitions, etc., tucked away at the
farthest end on the east side. There are
two large lawn areas which are flanked
on the banquet halls on one side, and
the stage and changing rooms on the
other.
The conference rooms can seat 100
people. The multipurpose hall and the
conference rooms extend out in the
large lawn areas.
The large lawns can be used inde-
pendently for barbeque parties, birthday
celebrations, Dandia celebrations, etc.
The Grand lawn holding the stage and
changing rooms can seat 2000 people. It
can be used for music concerts, theatre

Ar Manish Devagirkar founded Manish
Devagirkar Architects in 2011. Earlier the
architect has worked under the renowned
architectural firm “Jaisim fountainhead”.
The firm is specialised in architectural,
landscaping and interior designing.
The firm basic emphasis is on stone & steel
structuring and green architecture and in
designing eco-friendly and close to nature
spaces. They believe greenery and close to
nature aspects help them move to a higher
level of structuring and out of the box level
of building of capacities.

performances, dance performances and
also wedding receptions.
The grand stage area, with its verdant
lawn and open to sky stage broadcast
a mesmerising view. The lighting in the
area is also great. The stage area and the
area beneath it showcase an ‘acoustic‘
feature which adds on to its unique
selling preposition.
The material palette consists of lighter
shades and is a local palette of gran-
ites and limestone. It is sensibly used,
keeping in mind the climate of Vijayapur.
It is also ecologically and economically
viable to use local and readily available
material.
Tandoor stone has been used for
the floor of the conference halls and
banquet hall. The stage of the Grand Lawn area
has been built in badami pink sandstone, which is a
pink and maroon coloured stone. The steps of the
stage have been done in kadapa black. The exterior
uncovered spaces mostly have the shabad floor.
The Grand lawn is lined by post top LED lights
which serve a dual purpose of lighting the Grand
lawn and also as posts to erect the temporary roof,
also known as Shamiana. The lights used in the
entire project are LED warm-white colour. This also
is an environmental-friendly step, that has also
helped in significantly reducing the operational
costs.
The entrance to the complex is flanked by a water
feature, which is 50 feet in length, and helps in
reducing humidity of the place. Approximate 20,000
plants and trees have been planted in the project.
They also attract a variety of birds and butterflies.
The parking area is pleasing and flamboyant
enough to attract the audience; the colourful
bushes have been generously used to add on the
rich heritage view. The black stone used in the
magnificent dining area has a raw and unfinished
look, forming a wall of 15 feet high and 105 feet
width.
The multipurpose hall uses mudgal stone wall
formed in Ilkal, which is found in Bagalkot district,
Karnataka. The use of pergola, allowing the sunlight
to pass through, adds on its close to nature look of
the project.
Manish’s core belief of designing a structure,
while taking into consideration the local
topography and climate makes him more
appealing.
Natural ventilation, minimalistic and simplicity,
sober and subtleness being his key rewards
and feedback of happy clients showcases his
unique identity and distinctiveness.

A
private lift unfolds directly into the entrance foyer
embellished with tints and tones of brown. Detailing
with Italian marble flooring, solidwood and teak wood
doors with symmetric patterns accentuates the in-environment
of the place.
While walking inside the living room one can realise that here
interiors define the space. White walls with depressed wooden
ceiling illuminate the area with LED lights. A dove coloured à
la mode carpet outspreads in the center with deluxe brown
leather sofa on the periphery along with a blue sofa to break
the monotony.
An oval shaped multilevel center table and side tables in simi-
lar fashion decorates the space. Hanging lights are suspended
in the corner, giving ambient light and serene feel. The living
room and family sitting room are prorated by a glass partition;
giving the home a regal character.

Residence for
Style and Opulence
Kheni’s Residence was designed by ADDA Architects and Urban Designers. In
this home, both contemporary art and modern furniture play crucial roles. Here
traditional motifs and materials are creatively used to develop a luxurious space.

Both kitchen and dining space are
presented in elaborate design. The
open kitchen gives a spacious feel.
Suspended staircase faced with Italian
marble takes one to the private zone.
Keeping the theme of ivory colour
constant, each bedroom of the home is
designed with a unique interior colour
scheme, allowing one to relish the inte-
riors.
One of the bedrooms have décor inclu-
sive of white Italian marble flooring with
beige grains, complimenting the plush
beige upholstered double bed along
with wooden paneling on one wall.
The attached walk-in closet is elegant
separated by glass partition with the
dressing.

ADDA Architects and Urban Designers is a
team of individuals with distinct ideologies
coming together. Their strength lies in the
ability to conceive master planning, archi-
tecture, interior and landscape design with
strong conceptual unity and clarity.
Mayank Paarekh, Kaushal Laheri and
Dhaval Shah, ADDA founders and college
friends, were just like any other architects
with big dreams and aspirations to work
together using their experience of archi-
tectural training at different firms. Estab-
lished in 2011, the team of three started
doing projects with limited opportunities
at hand, gradually growing into a larger
team structure.
ADDA Architects and Urban Designers
Developing innovative design solutions that
are contextual, creating spaces that focus
on the experiential value and experimenting
with material aspects of a project while still
contributing to sustainability, form the firm’s
design philosophy.
Showcasing creative freedom in small
scale interior projects, pushing forward to
large scale spaces, they have always been
very selective in their clientele and design
outreach. Having a niche in innovative space
design with years of delivering luxurious
and high-end projects, team ADDA aspires
to work on much larger projects pan India,
focusing their design style inclining on a
vision more towards green buildings.
Some of the eminent projects by team
ADDA includes ADDA Office, their own
design studio in Surat, that reflects their
personal style of how an office space
should look like; Farmville, a farmhouse
reconstructed in Surat, using the design
and elements in a way that it connects the
space to the nature; Oriana Façade, an
Office Space in Surat created with work-
space as an open display of organization’s
professional ethos; and a luxury 3 storey
residence for their client Mr. Kheni, in
Ahemedabad.
created in niches. Here the walls are
paneled with subtle grey, grooved in a
geometric fashion; creating an exclu-
sive pattern. Along with this is the
assortment of fabrics on the furniture
extended with a snooker table.
The terrace garden with exquisite
peripheral potted plants, adds seren-
ity to the all round opulence. A snug
residing on one side of the terrace is
designed with wooden tile flooring and
is camouflaged with a pergola on top. A
pebble filled delineating line is defined
for seating arrangement; outdoor wicker
furniture is used to complete the
ensemble.
The other bedroom is designed with
hints of black, glued with ivory cladding
with subtle grooves. To develop a float-
ing effect, the head board is lined with
black stone from which the white side
tables emerge. Carrying the concepts
of black further is the attached toilet,
where one wall is cladded with black
marble and furniture and flooring are
white; giving an opulent feel to the
whole room.
Heading to the home theatre, it is a
cosy eight-seater arrangement, where
the walls are paneled with bands of
upholstery in a zigzag pattern. It allows
the light to pass through and create a
unique form of its own.
Moving up to the 14th floor is the enter-
tainment and relaxing zone, where an
extensive group can hangout. The tele-
vision is installed on the wall with the
vertical storage space on either side,

Twin Homes Reflect
Privacy and Luxury
In the suburbs of Hyderabad, specifically in Yapral, Secundrabad, lies the Twin Houses.
However, it would be more apt to define them as Twin Homes. For these twin homes, the
client wanted contemporary residence with distinctive Indian features and vibes. The façade
has been designed keeping in mind the concept of symmetry, equitable distribution and
adjoining two semi private spaces.
T
he project is demarcated in two
major spaces that is the residence
on the left and the one on the
right; both these spaces are connected
with a middle buffer space that also
acts as the semi-private interaction
space between the two residences. It
has been judiciously used by creating it
into a green buffer and parking space
with projected out balconies; creating a
shade on the ground floor.
The elevation is subtle with shades of
grey, and vegetation used as an orna-
mental element. Talking about the
interior space there are two conjoined
residences. While talking about one resi-
dence there is a living cum dining hall
with an attached kitchen plus a guest
bedroom on the ground floor, whereas
the upper floor has two bedrooms

and a recreational area for recreational
purposes; acting as a family lounge.
Colour is infused in the project using
metalised paints (from Oikos) that has a
matt finish, giving a very rustic yet glit-
tery look. On the roof a wall paper that
embodies a rattan finish has been used
and also there is a staircase wall that has
a wallpaper over which carved wooden
frames of different colours and of differ-
ent sizes have been strategically placed
in a random fashion/pattern to give it a
quirky twist.
Talking about the colour scheme used,
the majority colours used in the project
are pastel and earthy. Hues of natural
colours and simple light shades can be
seen everywhere with a tint of a very
subtle shade of dull brass.
The shades of wood used in the interi-
ors are natural and light in appearance
and give a very warm feel to the whole
space. The lighting compliments the
whole space with its rustic appeal and
translucent effect.
Full body vitrified tiles have been used
for the earthy glazed look, and natu-
ral wooden polished planks are used
for wooden flooring. Whereas for walls,
specialty paints with brass textures and
streaks have been used. The ceilings
are rafted and ceiling entailed conceal-
ing beams with wallpaper. Wooden
beadings have been used to define the
edges.
The furniture has been done by Nivasa
in New Delhi. The tiles are by Casamia
in Mumbai. The specialty finishes on

Rohit Suraj, who headed the design team that
designed the Twin Houses, is quick to admit
that he has no formal training in architecture
or interior design. He is equally quick to add
that this, he believes, is also his greatest
strength. Having no precedent to follow, it is
mostly his intuition that leads to Urban Zen’s
dramatically different outlook with design and
execution.
Urban Zen came into being in 2011 with a
single vision to bring designs that are unique
to realisation through flawless blueprints and
execution.
Rohit’s journey began with a single resi-
dence, but today he heads a niche boutique
firm with an impressive portfolio of over 70

East and other parts of Asia, spanning gated

Hyderabad.
The project has been sustainable as
well as luxurious in character. Materials
have been kept really simple with rustic
and contemporary finishes. The whole
project whether be it the interiors, the
plan or the elevation, follows contempo-
rary architecture. According to the archi-
tect, through this ‘contemporary Indian’
project, the design team endeavours at
creating a bridge between Indian and
western architectural styles.
The best part about the project’s design
is that it brings together two spaces
that are highly personal, yet the private
spaces are very strategically converted
into semi private spaces through the
concept of twin residences.
communities, hotel developments, luxury
and affordable residences, hospitality and
boutique commercial spaces, etc. Rohit
believes that instilling fascination, elevating
the human spirit and initiating conversation
are the cornerstones of Urban Zen’s design
story.
From multi-million dollar international
mega ports to master plan developments,
from mid-rise buildings to niche villas and
boutiques, his journey has been as varied as it
has been exciting.
Today Urban Zen has stayed true to its
passion for design and its quest for perfec-
tion and is committed to designing and
delivering living environments that are time-
less, experiential and on the leading edge of
design innovation.

Renovating a
Celebrity Home
Ficus Fine Living can be construed as an ode to a relaxed, less ornate and minimal design
aesthetic. The Ficus’ aesthetic combine country chic with modern design elements. The

T
he Ficus’s Flagship Store at Byculla has a quaint and
rustic charm. The store is sprawling amidst the greenery
and calming foliage of the heritage Great Eastern Mills,
nestled in the historic precincts of Byculla, Mumbai.
Here one finds seamless merging of materials, textures,
colours and forms that are contemporary and yet has a time-
less quality to them.
Ficus refashions the natural in unique and versatile ways. Apart
from selling lovely home decor items, furniture, rugs, crock-
ery , art and artefacts, Ficus has a design and decor team that
styles, decorates and refurbishes homes, hotels, offices and
various other spaces that need assistance in terms of design
and decor.
The company works with architects and often with architectural
and consulting firms and infuses life and colour with its prod-
ucts and styling in their brick and mortar works. The company
recently beautifully renovated the Bandra apartment of the
well-known celebrity couple, Ashmit Patel and his gorgeous

and glamorous partner and fiancée,
Mahek Chahal.
When Ashmit gave the brief to Ficus’s
CEO, Charu Tewari, who is also a well-
known designer and decorator, he gave
a clear vision of what he wanted their
pad to be like. Mahek gave a brief that
she wanted comfortable and luxurious
furniture and it had to fit in well with
their contemporary and utterly busy
schedule. She wanted furniture and rugs
that could be moved around without any
permanent fixtures.
She also wanted brightness, and a
decor that was versatile with infusion
of soft pastel and cool colours all over.
A certain lightness in the sturdy furni-
ture; some warmth and cosiness through
plants and rugs that could be moved
away depending on the weather; a
charming quirky TV cabinet and shelf
that required to be cheered up with
family pictures, quirky Ficus curios,
charming vintage style clocks and
books and family memorabilia along
with some rustic ceramics and pottery
were part of the decor.
Soft and salmon pink satin bedspread
with bespoke lavender taffeta silk throw,
faux magnolias and spider plants, signa-
ture Ficus European Vintage planters
and moss balls, and curios to add style

Building a
Dream Home
An area of 3070 sq. ft., in the west phase of M3M Golf Estate, located in
Sector 65, Gurugram, has now been made in to a beautiful home for a
family, by MADS Creations. The project has been consciously designed,
while keeping in mind the lifestyle, likes & dislikes of every family member.
Location: M3M Golf Estate, Sector 65, Golf Course
Extention, Gurugram
Size of the property: 3070 SQ. FT
Timeline for Designs & Execution: 4 Month
I
t took four months of inspiration,
dedication and passion to design the
project from a vision to a reality. The
clients conceived of a dream home of
theirs which they got from the house
designed with lots of hard work and
love.
The design questionnaire (a series of
questions related to lifestyle) helped
the designers to develop a personal-
ised space for the family. The thought-
ful designs were made to cater to every
individual of the family and her/his
day-to-day routines.
Be it the pastel-themed bedroom for
two little girls, where very creatively the
design firm broke away from the preju-
dice of pink, or the custom-made dining
table (from MADS’s in-house manu-
facturing) or the sleek study table with
some interestingly patterned ceilings in
the master bedroom to the lush green
stretch in the balconies for their beloved
pet, Koko, are some of the areas where
the creativity was beautifully merged
with functionality. Undoubtedly, every
corner of the quaint home reflects a

Workspace/Office: Droom.in
Client: RSP Developer
Design & Build: Studiokon Ventures
Pvt. Ltd.
Architect: Mrs. Sonia Sharma
Area: 24,000 sq.ft.
Location: Gurugram
Photography: Unmesh Doundey
T
he design and delivery of the
project were spearheaded by
Studiokon Ventures’ (SKV) Chief
Architect, Sonia Sharma.
Mr. Satyapriya, Owner, RSP
Developers, had a vision to have a
workspace that would not only meet
the functional needs of Droom.in, but
also foster a growth mindset aligned
with the end goals of the company,
and a workspace which is agile and
sustainable.
Workspace Exuding
Luxury through Utility
The office space of a company can play an integral role
in building the right relationship with its employees,
partners, and clients. Integrating the superstructures
of ideology and thought process into everyday workings,
it can become a tool for the company to increase
productivity, further innovation, and build culture. The
same reflects in the workspace created for Droom.in by
Studiokon Ventures, in collaboration with RSP.

Taking inspiration from the iconic offices
SKV has designed in the past – such as
Amazon, Google, Adidas, and Pepsi –
Sonia chose to undertake an innovative
approach and design an agronomical
and dynamic workspace. An inspiring and
ambient space was created, to accommo-
date advancing technology and further a
collaborative mindset, as per the needs of
the internet-based company.
Spread across 24,000 sq. ft., the office has
enough space for 200 people. It comprises
of a reception, lounge, workstations,
meeting rooms, individual calling rooms,
conference rooms, and some spaces for
leisure activities.
Each element of the office has been care-
fully thought out and executed, with atten-
tion to the minutest details. For instance,
Haworth Inuity workstations have been
used, to cater to the multiple parallel
needs of a 21st century professional. The
flexible and adaptable workstation accom-

Studiokon Ventures offers comprehensive
interior design services for Fortune 500 com-
panies, SMEs and MSMEs. To complement
the design consulting services, the company
furnishes furniture; both new and antique, dec-
orator fabric, and home and office accessories.
From concept to implementation, Studiokon
Ventures’ s cost-effective approach is targeted
to offer design solutions based on the client’s
taste, budget, use, and goals for the space.
The additional selection, accessibility of prod-
ucts, design services, and value-based pricing
differentiates SKV from its competitors.
Studiokon Ventures Pvt. Ltd.
modates employees’ needs for technology,
space efficiency, and personalization, and
makes their everyday lives much easier.
Another appealing element of the work-
space is its open and vibrant environment.
Sonia’s design leverages pastel shades as
well as glass paneling from Saint-Gobain
to create this. It also accommodates very
real needs of the teams by smartly utilizing
white spaces. The walls can be written on,
and ideas can be quickly put up on pin-up
boards. The conference and meeting
rooms also have acoustic fabric paneling
to suppress echo and control noise in the
office.
The feeling of space in the office is further
enhanced by sea wallpapers in the lounge
area. The furniture in this space is from
Shearling, which aptly goes with the nearby
Korean-style reception desk.
The recreational area of the workspace
also adds to the refreshing mix with bar
stools and sitting booths, replacing tradi-
tional layouts. A chair-and-table arrange-
ment has also been created, using Multi
Seats’ chairs. A warm aesthetic is added
to the cafeteria with a book-shelf and
some plants, creating the perfect space
for people to unwind. A semi-covered
ceiling, designed symmetrical to the
flooring, highlights the duality of the
workspace with precision.
The design and delivery expecta-
tions of the project were high, as Sonia
expressed. The workspace had to be
agile enough to appeal to younger as
well as veteran professionals. It had to
be modular and dependable. To top it
off, the turnaround time of the project
was 75 days, much shorter than one
would expect. Going beyond the basics,
the design also incorporates various
intrinsically innovative elements. The
meeting rooms have open shelves, indi-
vidual calling rooms have acoustic pane-
ling and boardrooms come with DGU
glass. The team also leveraged Legero’s
surface mounted fittings to bring great
lighting to the workspace; one that is
construction durable and can be quickly
renovated.
Sharing the experience with the project,
Mr. Tushar Mittal, MD, SKV said, “people
often think that functional design and
luxury can’t go hand in hand. But that
is a very restricted point of view. When
designing this office, we wanted to
create a space that would make people’s
days at work easier, get their creativ-
ity flowing, and indulge their vanity– a
place they would want to come to every
day”.
The beautifully designed and executed
project exudes that thought, by integrat-
ing the superstructures of ideology and
thought process into everyday workings.
It creates a workspace that can be a tool
for the company to increase productivity,
further innovation, and build culture.

W
ith interesting play of materials
and textures, a modern and
luxurious feel was achieved for
this residence; reflecting true persona of
the occupants.
The clients’ brief was straightforward
and crisp. They wanted a home that
would have a clear narrative in terms of
function and decor. They said that the
design need not be chest thumping in
proclamation of their identity but must
bear the mark of their quiet, confident
lifestyle. The design vocabulary of the
home was derived while keeping their
requirement and lifestyle in to account.
An aura of class and modern elegance
permeates from every nook of this beau-
tiful bungalow.

wood, and fenestration and courtyard
are having vertical garden; creating

The house of Karan Bhosale in Mumbai demanded a bold and
contemporary thinking and the client also wanted the same,
but with clean lines and a hint of sophistication...

Mumbai Sun rays during the daytime.
As far as living room furniture goes, the
styling was kept modern and in tune
with the overall appeal of the space. The
partition in the living room with floral
design adds up to the ambience of the
living room.
The passage from the partition leads to
pooja area and is designed to have its
own spiritual feel. There is a small sitting
area adjacent to the pooja area, which
reflects attention to detail in design.
The pooja area further extends to the
dining area. The highlight of the dining
area is the beautifully designed ceiling
with suspended ceiling lights, which
invariably grabs attention with contrast-
ing light blue colour of the dining table.
The kitchen is designed in a modular
theme. The passage area is dotted with
customised carvings.
The entire flooring of this bungalow is
adorned by marble except the terrace/
sit out area, which uses wooden flooring
and ceiling with veneers.
Vegetation has been introduced by
incorporating one wall with partial verti-
cal garden. This sit out area brings in
generous amount of light that floods the
entire space during daytime.

Every bedroom of the home that is
housed in the bungalow features
panels of fabric, which adorn the
rooms in varied ways and is designed
for optimum utilisation. The colour
infusion is essentially done through
cushions, artifacts and paintings,
thereby creating some form of vibrancy
in a neutral palette.

Sauerland Spanplatte with their vast
experience of more than six decades
and spanning exports to 90 countries
have been active in the Indian door in-
dustry since 2008. They have introduced
the ecofriendly tubular core option to
timber infill successfully. Last year more
than 8 lakh doors were made in India
using the tubular boards technology.
But the door constructions are still
primitive. The basic purpose of the door
is to provide privacy... Privacy of Sight
and Privacy of Sound. Our present door
systems provide privacy of Sight only
and door miserably fails to provide the
Privacy of Sound.
This is very serious matter which needs
correction by builders and architects to
recognize this aspect. Sauerland have
up scaled the technology for the Indian
door industry to introduce Fire protec-
tion cum Acoustic doors with cores in
several configurations and options for
up to 44 dBs sound reduction and fire
rating up to 60 minutes.
The door sets need to be provided
with perimeter seals and drop seals for
achieving the privacy of Sound.

erties provide sound reduction of upto
40 dBs and act as a fire containment
door for 60 minutes without using any
inorganic material like Gypsum board,
Cement board or Calcium Silicate or
Fiberglass to achieve 60 minutes fire
rating as per BS 476: Part 22: 1987 or as
per IS 3614 Part 2 (1992).
The Acoustical features benefit on daily
basis by keeping out or keeping in the
sounds, restricting the noise pollu-
tion to a great extent whereas the fire
performance of a door set is a passive
protection in case of an eventuality or an
accident.
Now Door manufacturers in India can
offer the builders and architects a triple
acting door set which provides sound
proofing and much necessary fire
protection of 60 minutes clubbed with
smoke containment technology.
In addition to the above stated advan-
tages, the door will arrest any movement
of air draught reducing the energy costs
and will also keep the insects out.
Sauerland Cores are having very low
formaldehyde level of E1, which means
they are safe for internal use in residen-
tial buildings.

range offers a sanitised in-vironment; free of

and better awareness with higher incomes
have created a market for quality baby prod-
ucts in the country. Other factors which are
propelling the need includes the shift to
nuclear families, change in mindset to prior-
itise purchasing the best for children and
increasing preference to keep baby in a sepa-
rate bed.

detailed research on baby sleep and interna-
tional baby mattress industry. With a strong
legacy of 30 years of being the sleep special-
ists in India, we saw the potential of the prod-
uct in the growing Indian market. We also
already had the domain understanding as we
have been supplying high quality products to
a European baby mattress manufacturer.”
“As the baby mattress market is at a nascent
stage in India, Centuary Mattresses wanted to
take the first mover advantage by researching
the field of child sleep and bringing specifi-
cally designed sleep solutions for babies &
children. In the long-term, we are expecting
Beddy to contribute 10 -15 percent in our
revenues”, Uttam Malani affirmed.

Guard- The Multipurpose Mattress. Water-
proof accessories like Beddy Protect - the

A guide to have an advanced energy-efficient
design and Material for a Window
1. Usage of windows without Air
Leakage
2. Using a frame material with a very
less energy loss (Uf max 1.4 – 1.8 W/
sqmK)
Considering that the frame area of a
window can be between 10% to 25%
of the total window area.
3. Usage of the right glass can reduce
the energy loss further
Ug single glass 5.0 W/sqmK
Ug double glass 2.8 W/sqmK
Ug low e Glass 1.8 W/sqmK
Ug low e with Argon 1.3 W/sqmK
Key points to have an energy saving
window
1. Natural shading
2. Energy saving window frame
3. Energy saving glass
What is your window made up of?
You need to remember that having the
right kind of window material is signifi-
cant. UPVC is the ideal kind of mate-
rial for your window. It has the following
benefits:
U-Value- with its Thermal Transmit-
tance,(U-Value),low-energy: E-glass
Thermal which has maximum heat
deflection, it means a very low U value, it
stops the temperature from passing the
glass, which gives it an edge over other
windows material options. The U-value
T
he most advanced energy saving
design can be for a window or
door in a green building. Energy
efficiency is play a major role and it
should not be ignored when installing
doors and windows in your home. The
right choice of material, an experience
fabricator and knowledge are very vital
to ensure high performance.
It is the natural shading / shadowing of
the window that one needs to keep in
mind. When we protect the windows
from direct sunlight, than IR waves
are unable to enter the house and the
aggressive heating during the daytime is
not going to penetrate directly.
Keep in mind these key parameters of
the high performance glasses:
1. Solar factor
2. Light transmission
At that moment where no direct sun hits
the windows and due to this the internal
room temperature will have the same
temperature like outside, the u -Value of
the window and the glass will play a very
important role.
In the same way we are aware, that even
during night, Ac’s are kept on to cool the
rooms, but with less power consumption
than during the day when the sunlight is
hitting the glass. This energy consump-
tion can be further reduced while
which is a measure of the rate of heat loss
is expressed in watts per square meter,
per degree Kelvin. Lower U-values can be
attained if there is a use of multiple glaz-
ing layers, gases, and low e-coating.
Steel Reinforced: As Lingel windows are
fitted with galvanized steel reinforcement
it does not bend easily and is very stable
to use in uPVC Windows and doors.
Double Seals an added advantage: The
double seals used in the uPVC windows
helps to keep rainwater outside as much
as possible while sealing the glass pane
against the uPVC Window. And that’s not
all in areas where one may experience
a lot of dust these windows can help
prevent dust from entering in.
Low on Maintenance: uPVC windows
do not need regular cleaning or main-
tenance. It is once in a lifetime invest-
ment. uPVC windows also help in energy
saving and so it keeps your electric bills
in check.
UPVC Windows and doors will help
reduce the heat coming from outside,
keep the place cool, and will help reduce
electricity bill. So when you decide to
have a window or door installed call the
experts for advice.

Ergoshell mattress - For beautiful dreams
F
oam Home has created the unique
“ErgoShell” mattress to ensure that
you enjoy the most precious experi-
ence in the world: a good night’s sleep.
Innovatively crafted to deliver a perfect
balance between comfort and technol-
ogy, the ErgoShell is the world’s first
mattress that is orthopedically designed
for the right support with an abso-
lute plush feel. The result of over four
decades of research and development,
with deep understanding and technical
expertise, the ErgoShell mattress tech-
nology is pre-designed using pressure
mapping devices, based on the aver-
age Indian sleeping patterns. Customers
can customise their mattress as per their
requirements with the help of the knowl-
edgeable staff of the Experience Centre.
The ErgoShell mattress, first launched in
Germany, is revolutionary mattress with
a moulded shell holding vertical blocks
of varying cushioning materials and firm-
ness. It consists of three primary layers:
the shell or base of the mattress which
can be moulded with Flexible Polyure-
thane Foam, H R Foam, Memory Foam
or Latex Foam. The shell gives strength
and stability to the mattress and is often
divided into a grid and base layer, for
more flexibility. It is vertically divided
into 7 zones which perfectly align to the
individual contours of the body.
The concept of providing Support
Blocks is based on the very simple
science that when a big piece of
foam block is cut into a smaller one, it
breathes better, it feels softer, the depth
of cushioning increases and overall it
creates a much richer feel. The vertical
support blocks can be filled individually
into the shell with the required level of
cushioning and comfort. These smaller
pieces of foam blocks, preferably of Flex-
ible Polyurethane, breathe better, are
lighter and more economical, yet dura-
ble. One can replace worn-out blocks:
no need to change the whole mattress.
The “comfort layer” on top can be made
of single or multiple layers: there are
many different options and combinations
available It can either correspond to the
quality of the shell or can be different,
e.g. a memory foam shell can have a
memory foam comfort layer which can
make the mattress reversible at the same
time of very premium quality. Alter-
natively an HR foam shell can have a
memory foam comfort layer to design a
more economical mattress.
An ErgoShell mattress is orthopedi-
cally designed with the most advanced
technology, using best-in-class materi-
als to deliver a plush and luxurious feel.
ErgoShell guarantees perfect support
and comfort to the neck, shoulders
and the spine. Your optimum comfort
mattress, tailored to your body weight,
your height, age, lifestyle and pref-
erences is easily customized with
ErgoShell. The outer covering is made
up of special High Definition fabric with
great strength, extreme softness, sani-
tised and is anti-dust mite treated. Get
it now and reap the rewards of a tranquil
sleep, night after night.
So visit your nearest Foam Home expe-
rience centre and find your perfect
mattress for a perfect snooze!
Price range starts from: Rs. 22,000/- for
Single Bed and Rs. 43,500/- for Double
Bed.

Solli Concepts introduces a
range of premium wooden basins
D
ebunking most of the myth asso-
ciated with wood and its tendency
with water, Solli Concepts has
recently introduced an entire range
of luxury wooden basins. Surprisingly,
wooden sinks from the early days of sinks
and baths were made from natural wood
with no additional finishing. We want
to take this tradition and infuse it into
our modern day living, thereby not just
bringing to you an indulgence in luxury
but reviving an age-old lost lifestyle.
Teak is primarily used because of its
natural waterproofing properties – it has
been used for hundreds of years in the
marine industry for this reason. The line
is curated using traditional joinery tech-
niques thus eliminating the use of any
nails or screws. This method of construc-
tion ensures that the joints are extremely
strong and it allows for some natural
movement through seasonal changes
and temperatures without compromis-
ing the product usage and functionality.
A drop of wood; the most innovative
product range from Solli Concepts has
been built to challenge conventional
thinking when it comes to furniture and
fittings for wet areas.

Contractor, is a design studio dedicated

furniture showcasing the innate beauty
and authenticity of wood and its unique

rials. The brand has to its credit, many

in one’s home. If you like contrasting
interiors, add inklings of black
decorations like a beautiful statement
showpiece or a pretty little desk clock in
bright tangerine.

Aster Cucine Launches New Kitchens
Concept “Portrait”
O
ttimo, a design studio for Indo Italian furniture and interi-
ors has brought to India new kitchens from the “Portrait”
collection by Aster Cucine. Launched at the Salone Milano
2018, Portrait was born from the updating of traditional styles as
a “back to the country” journey using innovative techniques. It is
halfway between transitional and traditional style, hence appeals to
a range of tastes.
What you see are refreshingly classic kitchens that take you back
to the time bygone –the shabby-chic world of country side with its
muted earthy colours and relaxed vibe. Designer Lorenzo Granoc-
chia has skillfully revised and simplified the country kitchens and
made them modern. Natural wood combined with interesting
lacquered or veneer finishes create cosy and warm kitchens, with a
domestic flavour. Says Granocchia: “Starting from signs and visions
that take us back to distant roots, and at the same time solid and
reassuring, the new Portrait collection lives in the present and pro-
jects us towards the future with a new lively energy.”
