Virali Villa: A Zen-Inspired Interior Design Project

Our approach to the Virali Villa was centered on the concept of 'serene living.' We moved away from heavy ornamentation, opting instead for a palette of ivory and ash grey, punctuated by the natural textures of cane and knotty pine. This creates a cohesive, Zen-inspired environment that feels open and breathable.

Materiality and Craft

We believe that residential interior design should be tactile. In the kitchen, we adopted a Moroccan-Scandinavian theme, using royal blue and ivory tones. The cabinetry and storage solutions are not just functional; they are crafted to minimize visual clutter. We incorporated fluted glass and PU-polished shutters to create a finish that is durable for a busy home while maintaining an elegant aesthetic.

Designing for Individuals

Every bedroom in this 1,675 sq. ft. apartment was tailored to the inhabitant:

• The Elderly Couple's Suite: We utilized a monochrome color scheme with stucco texture paint on the headboard wall to induce calmness.
• The Teenager's Room: We used knotty pine veneers combined with maroon and blue, featuring a custom study table with geometric glass inlays to support both study and hobbies.
• The Young Couple's Room: We brought in sharp lines and an olive green and white palette for a look of understated sophistication.

Respecting Tradition

Respecting the client's faith was a core part of our process. The Jain mandir was integrated into the living area, designed with ashthamangal patterns and custom lighting to ensure it sits naturally within the modern setting rather than feeling like an afterthought. Our work here showcases how custom furniture design, such as our pieces from the 'Objects by Soch' collection, can elevate a home into something truly unique.
