Project Overview
This 3,260 sq.ft interior for Hossain Md Sarowar at Pabna is a family home that will have a refined, practical feel. This project has been focused on developing an environment that combines clean lines, layered lighting, and various textures to create a warm and comfortable “contemporary” space where families can live their lives every day, and also be able to host friends and family.
Project Story :
The primary concern when designing this project was how to balance the need for a home that could provide ample open space for families who needed to spend time together, but still required quiet spaces to complete personal activities. Rather than separate these spaces completely, the designer created a transitional area between public spaces (such as living/dining/circulation), which allowed people to freely move through the home without being interrupted by different functions.
In addition to defining functionally separate spaces, the designer used a variety of materials to help tell the story of the space. For example, glossy floors allow natural light to bounce throughout the space; the combination of wood and textured walls helps soften the space and prevent it from feeling cold or overly sterile.
Rather than trying to create a sense of layers and interest within the space through complex or busy patterns, the designers chose to simply layer basic elements such as light, texture and scale to create interest and depth within the space.
One of the most significant decisions made during the design process was making the stairway visible within the living space. Rather than attempting to hide structural realities, the designers emphasized them. To achieve this, they used vertical wood slat and lighting to transform what would normally be considered obstacles into visual interests. Ultimately, the home represents a way of life that emphasizes warmth, presence, and subtle luxury.
Project Insights:
- Open plan living and dining improves socialization among family members without over-crowding.
- Visual height enhancement provided by vertically oriented wood slats.
- High gloss flooring enhances daylight reflection across large floor surfaces.
- Layered lighting allows for varying moods within the same space.
- Back lit feature walls enhance the depth within a space without additional volume.
- Neutral color palette provides for long term adaptability of interior spaces.
- Vanity areas integrated into each bedroom provide efficient completion of morning routines.
- Unique statement pieces (egg chair, TV wall) serve as anchor points within a space.
- Utilized under-stair area as an efficient functional powder room.
Design Details:
Space Planning:
Flow is the top priority in the design. All public spaces remain open and connected, while all bedrooms are separated from one another by distinct boundaries. All circulation pathways are as direct as possible to minimize waste of space.
Materials & Finishes:
Combination of marble effect tile, wood veneer and textured panel provide contrasting finishes. All materials and finishes were chosen for durability and low maintenance, considering that they would be used extensively by a family.
Lighting & Atmosphere:
Lighting is multi-layered– ambient, task and accent. Warm colors dominate to ensure that regardless of the time of day, the space always feels welcoming.
Color & Texture:
Neutrals comprise the foundation with limited accent colors in blue and gray. Texture variation replaces unnecessary contrasting colors to keep the environment both calm and rich.
Furniture & Joinery:
All custom storage and vanity units are fully incorporated into the architecture. Modern furniture choices include soft edges and neutral upholstery consistent with the overall tone of the space.
Visualization & Experience:
Still render images in high definition were completed for key rooms in the project. The images assisted the client to verify their selections of materials, lighting conditions and spatial relationships prior to construction began, thus minimizing confusion and potential changes.
Would this method be effective for small homes?
A: The same neutral color scheme and lighting strategies would be beneficial to a home of any size; however, the open floor plan could be reduced in scale proportionally.
Why was glossy flooring chosen for such a large house?
A: Glossy flooring is very efficient at reflecting light, so that larger areas may appear lighter and more cohesive.
How were architectural features/elements handled?
A: As opposed to being concealed, as many architects do, the visual aesthetic of the staircase was included within the overall design.
Is "Warm Contemporary" high-maintenance?
A: No. All of the materials chosen are long-lasting and easy to maintain on a day-to-day basis by families.
In what way did visualization assist the client?
A:Visualization provided an accurate sense of lighting, texture, and scale prior to breaking ground.
