Ingenuity is an integral component of design. Through the ages, basic construction and finishing materials have remained the same, yet, the design approach reinvents them with every application. In our stories this week, an aspect of design that stands out is how a single element of design can premeditate the programme.
While the home in Mumbai uses camouflage as its highlight, marking the simple chic interiors with strategic intrigue; The Window Factory in Ahmedabad curates an inventive display of windows in an informal and warm ambience, connecting the seller and buyers via an intimate dialogue. Likewise, the Delft railway station contextualises its design by annointing the ceiling with the map of the district. And in our cover story – the palatial waterfront home in Di Lido island, water becomes the resuscitating factor throughout with various spaces flirting with waterbodies; routine activities like having a cuppa or relaxing are woven around the deep blue waters, thereby programming the spaces and the mindset into luxe mode.
Explore it for yourself…
Warmly,
