Dear Reader,

Naming a property or a project is as much a functional proposition as it is an emotional one. Sail House, Naked House, Earth House… are all monikers of the metaphysical level as they embody the essence of the project brief and the corresponding design response. The earthy interiors of the Earth House by Svamitva Architecture Studio champion tones of nature with ease and aplomb, reviving traditional mindsets via contemporary interpretation.

The Naked House is a bare minimalist approach of a bachelor pad sans walls and doors that finds adornment in the bespoke designer pieces and their vocabulary blending the scenic cityscape with the comforting indoors. Again, on a metaphysical plane, one could interpret the language of needs vs wants in an existence that is chartered by the abstract geometry of life.

And our cover story, the Sail House is a direct reference of the tensile roofs that contribute to this climatic architectural home in the Caribbean islands.

This and much more. Lots to read and plenty of contributive ideas too. Take your pick. Until next week…

Warm regards,
