A wraparound balcony, which runs throughout thisKharhome’s perimeter diffuses sunlight throughout the space. Sahiba Madan, director and architect at Insitu, the studio arm of Kalakaari Haath, harnesses that softness throughout the 4,000 square-feet space. She says: “The client’s taste aligned with a very clean, minimalist and warm approach. They wanted to achieve as much character and warmth with the space as possible, all the while retaining a sense of openness to it.” Given that the property was a rental, civil changes were avoided.
The entrance of the home showcases a wood and cane bench.

The living room features a Gir Ivory L-seater that sits behind the nested tables from Gulmohar Lane, and in the foreground is a clock from Nomon. This setup is complemented perfectly with the tan leather armchair and footstool from West Elm and a swing from Design Ni Dukaan that’s been upholstered in fabric from The Pure Concept.
As a result, she says, “the toughest task was to reimagine the pre-planned spaces to conform to the spatial needs of the client, solely via how we structured the furniture layout.” Another challenge, she explains, was to “structure the entire aesthetic of the house to harmonize with the existing beige marble flooring, hence the material explorations, style direction and colour palette had to be carefully chosen to comply with it.” Consequently, the design was built around thefloorcolour, using natural tones.
The fluted bar is finished in cool grey matte PU, which complements the the bar stools upholstered in fabric from The Pure Concept. The bookshelf is by Alankaram, and the art on the wall is by Claymen.

The completed design, within these limitations, abides by the client’s focus on functionality and their tastes for, “a muted colour palette with the idea of pops of colour tastefully styled.” Those pops are brought in through soft furnishings, a majority of which are sourced from The Pure Concept, alongside brass details like that also brought texture into the space. Wall coverings from Kalakaari Haath were used, along with art chosen to complement the space. Discussing the furniture, Madan says, “The entire selection was done with the key idea of having a subtle harmony between all of them. As stunning as every furniture piece was individually, the true charm was hidden in the larger show they put up when they all came together.” That includes pieces from The Pure Concept, West Elm and Gulmohar Road.
The project’s deadline of three months meant that work was done on-site by craftsmen and technicians, “saving up on as much time in instructions and transportation as possible.” The bonus, as Madan says, was that “it also helped [us] supervise all the minute details that went into making the space come together.” The details include the stucco-textured wall with customClaymensculptures.
All the furniture for the son’s bedroom, including the bed, wardrobes and doors, were finished in matte white PU finish, complemented by matte black in the finer details. The muted sage green in cushions and the pouffe, accentuated by the lush green monsteras in the corners, add a pop of colour.

Within the time frame,Insituwas able to put together a space that is neutral and minimalist in spirit. In addition to the design elements used to add colour, plants too have added greenery to the space. Complemented by the natural light that gives the earthy tones a luminosity, the space exudes warmth while celebrating craftsmanship.
