SLIDE - LIFT - OPEN SHELF Movable, flexible, shelving system that allows the user to create various scenes and combinations of display. OM TABLE O-M is the sound that liberates, breaks the mind and soul free. Only to gather fleeting thoughts to start again. The nature of life seen in the rhythm of OM is metaphorical of the design of this coffee table by Studio-Prakruthi. Flowers, water, movement - nature and its glories elements may engage within a home via this object. SUMMERHOUSE A ‘Summer Getaway’ designed as an oasis to beat the summer heat. It is a temporary structure made from thermal comfort materials, designed for one’s meditative pursuits and relaxation. The interiors embody a minimalistic earthy character symbolic of the beauty in simple things and slow living. The plunge pool, lounge seating and shaded interiors create a regulated natural environment where experience is in the fore front. Air-dried brick for the flooring, a ceramic water body, clay plaster walls to regulate humidity, porous hemp fiber screens held with a wood residue composite framework of slacks are the carefully curated materials that enhance the climatic comfort and natural aesthetics of the space. PURSUIT OF LIGHT Studio-Prakruthi’s design proposal for a hotel complex in Banaras is expressed via the sectional diagram titled – ‘Pursuit of Light’. The diagram is a spatial representation that embodies the idea of comfort in the presence and absence of light.

APARTMENT V BANGALORE, INDIA A ground floor apartment, in the midst of a busting neighborhood in Bangalore, Apartment V is a temple-like oasis. The Interior Architecture embodies the style of a contemporary Indian Home. The space is designed for one inhabitant - a collector of south-Indian antiques. The design intent was developed as a response to the client’s traditional south-Indian way of living. This, we stitched together with sensibilities of a contemporary minimalist interior. The primary intension with spatial planning was to create a visual distinction within the hierarchy of privacy one desires in a dwelling, without compromising on the feeling of openness. The entrance Foyer opens into a large formal living room, adjacent to which is a semi-outdoor spill out space- an extension of the front garden. The formal living and outdoor space are both visually connected to a home office which leads into more private spaces such as the dining, family room, kitchen, master bedroom and bathroom. The more private spaces are visually disconnected from the foyer, formal living and front garden. The Interior engages with the cityscape selectively. Controlled natural light is invited into the space. The afternoon north light is refracted into the home by the raised west wall made from glass blocks, fashioning pleasantly lit afternoons at the formal living room. On may enjoy the front garden by lying on the planter’s chair and looking up to the undercover foliage of an aged Gulmohar tree on the sidewalk of the adjoining road. The Interior Architecture of the home is a response to the home owner’s material collection of South-Indian temple wood rafters, columns etc. We recycled the wood rafters to create an ambient lighting system that runs through the circulation of the house, a 3-way use from the entrance, master bedroom and kitchen. The decorative wood columns bring balance to the open plan and elongate the height of the space. All the doors are made from damaged pieces of wood rafters – sliced and fixed together. The material language of the interiors has a connection with land. Concrete floors, mud plaster cabinetry paneling, white marble skirting and recycled teak wood rafters set the tonality of the home. The use of natural brass and copper in the home seen in lights, fittings, hardware etc behave like the jewels that add lustre to the home. The atmosphere of Apartment V is an embodiment of the Indian way of living – of finding comfort in shade, whilst being visually connected to the city and the natural environment. An enjoyable contraction between expanse and limits. Photos and Video - Suryan and Dang
