Shree Rathnam is an attempt to bridge the chasm between South Indian architectural vibrance and elegant austerity of minimal modernist interiors. The space is characterized by bands and layers of different hues and textures that bind the entire space in a singular composition. The warm color tones and hues are reminiscent of the different shades of natural landscape in the Southern part of Indian peninsula. The heart of the volume lies in the materiality of its surfaces, that attempts to create a contrast in harmony. The strikingly intense and sculptural Indian marble is symbolic of the rich hues and grandeur of South Indian architecture. The hero of our design, the Indian marble characterizes the beautiful strokes of nature and adds to the beauty and splendor of the outlet. Marble is balanced by the warmth and linear geometry of oakwood scalloping and handmade tiles. The avant-garde layout, modern furniture and greens impart a contemporary and sensory undertone to the space The geometries on the wooden ceiling are an attempt to add a sense of eclecticism to the volume. The space is designed as an ode to the regional and contextual modernism of our times, a coming together of two strikingly different architectural styles in a contiguous blend.
