Chasing Red

Location: Mumbai - WORLIDual Flats Combined - 5BHK converted to a 3BHKArea: 2150 sq ft

A multi-generational family home designed for an elderly couple, a younger couple and their two children, who value comfort, luxury, functionality, and a sense of togetherness in their shared spaces along with relaxation in their private spaces. The common colour psychology result as per the Vaastu factor for the family, is a deep red colour which is balanced with walnut wood and oak wood tones. We have utilised this colour to evoke positive emotions and create a cohesive design palette throughout the space without it being overpowering. Our goal was to enhance the sense of connectivity and togetherness while allowing for individual privacy when needed. The spatial design for this family was catering to the unique needs of each family member while also creating a cohesive and inviting environment.

DESIGN ASPECTS & KEY CONSIDERATIONS

1. Materiality and Textures: Utilise colour psychology to evoke positive emotions and create a cohesive design palette. Deep red accents are incorporated strategically to create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home. Walnut wood and oak wood tones are used to add a sense of richness and depth.
2. Accessibility: Accessibility and safety features are important, especially for the elderly couple and the children. The overall design is harmonious, balancing modern elements with a touch of traditional warmth.
3. Solutions: Hidden storage solutions are essential to keep the home organised and clutter-free. Flexible spaces that can adapt to different activities and age groups are desired.
4. Open Concept: Floor to ceiling pivot and sliding door help in creating walls which are moveable. This helps in creating confined and open spaces as desired. Sense of Togetherness: Create a welcoming and functional home that caters to the diverse needs of the family members. Enhance the sense of connectivity and togetherness while allowing for individual privacy when needed.

SPATIAL DESIGN

The home is thoughtfully designed to cater to the lifestyles and routines of the family. It features accessible and comfortable spaces for the elderly, with wide pathways and ergonomic designs, while providing safe, open areas for the children to play.

Flexible zones accommodate the younger couple’s varied routines, with communal spaces that foster family interaction and private areas for quiet moments. With the help of sunlight and wind direction analysis through site location, the fenestrations and the spaces are placed in such a way that the living spaces get softer natural light while the harsh sunlight passes through the kitchen.

The overall layout ensures easy circulation and natural interaction, creating a harmonious environment that supports the diverse needs and lifestyles of every family member.
