A condominium home in Bangalore belonging to an expatriate family, the brief emphasized the curation of a minimalistic home that is modern and elegant in its demeanour. The creative intent reinforces the conceptualisation of a residence that establishes a timeless and self-evident correlation between form and function.

Clean-line geometry, a minimalist and homogenous palette of materiality and keen attention to detail are the home’s leitmotifs. The open floor plan plays a pragmatic role in ensuring that the spaces are in a constant dialogue with one another, with material interplay at its crux. The home’s initial spatial planning scheme reiterated the large open volumes that flowed into each other, creating distinct (though barrier-free zones) across the linear axial spine of the condominium.

The open kitchen, dining, living area, and family nook are the heart of the home and occupy the blueprint’s nodal axis. The private bedrooms of the residence are a reflection of each family member’s persona.

The Segu Residence is an extension of the family’s personalities, one that has been curated to a ‘t’ with the engagement of handpicked art, decorative elements, furniture, luminaires and bespoke design elements. Ubiquitous and restrained materials across the home create an uninterrupted canvas of sorts, thereby visually amplifying the spaces’ spatial volume. The home’s design journey has resulted from a holistic union amidst the homeowners and the studio — a careful blend of luxe, elegant and comfortable dwelling.
