Architect Siddhina Sakla of The Arch Studio has designed the ‘Mystical Home’ by blending contemporary sensibilities with a homely feel.
The Arch Studio is a young multi-disciplinary design studio, offering Architecture and interior design solutions for residential, commercial, hospitality and retail projects. The firm was started by Ar. Siddhina Sakla Jain, who graduated from Pune, India and completed her Master’s in Urban Design at Sheffield University, UK. She devised her own design language through her varied experience in architecture and interior across London and Pune. She worked with eminent architects like Christopher Charles Benninger Associates, Pune, India and Nasser Gulzari Architects, London, UK, which specialises in sustainable Architecture in Palestine and also designed the parliament for Palestine.
Their latest project ‘Mystical Home’, is exquisitely curated 2700 sqft home with a fantastic balance of functionality and aesthetics. Defined by its geometric design seen in the sharp angles and mixed size segments, the space has a contemporary aesthetic while also exuding the newness of a charming and cosy home. These angular patterns are a key part of the design language, featuring in the flooring, ceiling, and paneling.
This design also allows each individual room of the house to have a distinct aura of the one who resides. “Mystical Home is a space that brings aesthetics and functionality together in a breathtaking symphony of clean geometric patterns with glamorous colours and textures. Each area of the home has a unique vibe to it, yet they blend together harmoniously, with the perfect juxtaposition of traditional with the contemporary. True to its name, the home is a mystical and copiously alluring space, with a strong design language that is nothing short of excellence”says the architect.
The client’s vision was of a space that was opulent yet modern. They wanted each space to have its unique vibe, with an emphasis on creating ample storage and flexibility. They wanted an air of minimalism, characterised by clean lines and patterns. In three short months, we created a home that blended contemporary sensibilities with a homely feel. Each room reflects the juxtaposition of aesthetics and functionality. Although the angular patterns of the flooring separate each space, the whole layout follows a design language that speaks to these dualities.
