Designer Parag Ainchwar, who works with cluster one creative solutions pvt. ltd., provides us with a sneak glimpse inside his recently renovated house in Pune, which is a place that successfully synthesises his design sensibility… At the entryway of this 2600 square foot house, there is a painting depicting Lord Ganesha, which calls us inside. Once inside, we find a plethora of unique design elements that create a cozy and personal atmosphere. Whether it be the edison lights that are suspended from jute threads that are wrapped around the wire in the lobby of the entry, the palette of brilliant yellow and gray in the living room, or the ebony and ivory in the kitchen, all of these elements are going to become symbols of these areas. When the characteristics of all the members of the household are taken into consideration, the home is expressive without being overbearing. Parag, who always adheres to an uncontrolled palette and style (he calls it design tribalism), adopts this approach here as well. This approach is appropriate for the philosophy of a house, which is characterized by continuous expansion. Utilizing each area to its full potential, creating multi-functional niches, and providing a variety of storage alternatives are all available. It is the lighting that steals the show here, both in terms of the fixtures and in terms of the atmospheres that are created in the rooms. In addition to being open-concept and devoid of clutter, the dining space has a floor-to-ceiling mirrored expanse, which both contribute to the impression that the house is much more large than it really is. A spill-over room with a view of the city is made possible by the terrace, which acts as a natural extension to the dining area and facilitates the opening of the house to the outside. The patio is a special place for Parag, since it is where he begins his day and where he relaxes after a long and stressful day at employment. It is the essence of a humble domicile, full to the brim with the colorful personalities of its occupants, exactly as the crossword arrangement of names that is displayed at the door of the home.
