The modest 950 sqft area required a complete overhaul to transform it into a comfortable 3 BHK home. The client’s goal was to renovate the small space, maintaining its original charm while incorporating contemporary elements for a revitalized living experience.
The design process included reconfiguring the floor plan, removing and relocating walls to create an open-plan layout, and maximizing natural light. The original terrazzo chip flooring was combined with modern interiors for a quick cost-effective solution, and also demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and repurposing.
Clever storage solutions and versatile furniture were integrated to make the most of the available space. A minimalist approach was adopted to infuse a fresh, contemporary ambiance, while carefully selected artworks and decorative accents were curated to complement the house’s existing character. The end result is a seamless integration of timeless allure and modern simplicity, breathing new life into the house while preserving its cherished history.
