Rising from the ashes, quite literally, the spaces of House of Bliss builds a narrative of
contemporary class and comfort. Visualised by Saumil Nagar, Principal Architect of
Atelier |X| Architects, the refurbishment project redefines the Living Room and the
Main Bedroom into voluptuous expanses overlooking the garden area.
With its laid-back charm, the 1,500 sq ft project embodies Eclecticism and muted
characteristics of Postmodernism. Designed for a workaholic family that loves to
socialise, the Indore bungalow reflects the duality of their lifestyle philosophy of “work
hard, play harder”.
Fabricated with foresight, a sleek glass-shutter frame visually binds the Living Room
and the garden area. Refurbished Bar Chairs and a stellar Bar Unit outside, roll on
wheels for ease of function during frequent gatherings. With its unique ability to
double up as an ideal abode for rather sizable get-togethers, the Living Room is also
lovingly dubbed, the Entertainment Room.
In contrast to the previous wood-heavy space, the volume now douses a soothing
colour palette paired with whimsical details. Materialising a seamless stucco finish,
the concave, state-of-the-art Bar Unit flaunts a brass top with a fearless show of its
design engineering. Complementing the composition, a 100-year-old rug displays
cultural opulence, elevating the character of the room. A projector screen rolls down
to the Media Console that demonstrates linear fluting.
Residing in the city known for its greens, the bedroom relishes a serene garden view.
A Gulmohar Tree provides a dense backdrop to the magnanimous Main Bedroom.
Instigating calmness, the muted earthy colours oversee a smooth transition between
spaces planned in a linear layout. The fluted marble bed-back not only restrains the
morning light, but also conceals a small coffee station behind.
Fractionalized by the furniture layout, the room cuddles into a cosy corner for
unwinding and reading. A synchronised-sliding door leads to the spacious Dresser
with fluted wardrobe walls for optimum storage. The weight of hardwood shutters is
further diminished with the use of fluted glass.
Transitioning to the Bathroom, the fluting details continue with subtlety and the
colour tones begin to get warmer, intentionally. The exotic fragrance of Champa and
an inviting play of light and shadow lead to the outdoor shower.
The intuitiveness that comes with AXA’s signature style of building tropical spaces
probably led to offering a function to this previously untouched open-to-sky
Bathroom. The use of louvres transforms this area into a relaxing space for refreshing
baths in scorching summers.
What was once a dark and heavy space, now breathes through filtered sunlight and
pockets of green. House of Bliss offers the luxury of ‘truly living’ with a sense of
belongingness and delight!
