House of Gond: A Residential Art Narrative

In designing the House of Gond, our goal was to move beyond interior styling and create an environment that breathes with cultural heritage. We approached the floor plan as a sequence of portals, using Chettinad pillars to transition between the living and private zones. This architectural rhythm ensures that the home feels like an artistic gallery rather than a series of disconnected rooms.

Our material palette relied on grounding the modern maximalist design with history. The teak wood carvings, sourced to reflect indigenous craftsmanship, provide a sturdy, warm framework for the space. By pairing these with the geometric precision of Karaikudi tile patterns, we created a grounded foundation that allowed the vibrant Gond art pieces to stand out as focal points. The louvered shutters were chosen not just for their aesthetic, but for the way they filter light, creating a living shadow play that shifts throughout the day.

For homeowners considering a similar approach to residential design in Pune or across India, it is important to understand that such a space requires a disciplined hand. We did not merely fill the rooms; we composed them. The result is a home that acts as a physical memory, where every element—from the Hanuman mask to the custom furniture—serves a role in the broader narrative of the household. We prioritize this depth in every project, ensuring that your home reflects your personality through honest materials and considered spatial planning.
