5. No mirror facing the south.
6. Study table oriented to face the user towards north.

His mother wanted assigned storage spaces for the smallest of things- books, games, school bag, paper rolls, space to display trophies and pictures, space to hang art work and timetables etc. Also, kid shouldn’t be distracted by the display unit. Hence, the pergola.

Clinets Functional and Aesthetic Needs- My parents had just one preferrance- they wanted the design to be classy, not flashy. Designing my own house had many pros and cons:
Pros I knew my parents’ choices, their mindset and I could easily plan the interiors in a way that caters to their daily routine. I also had the utmost freedom in designing. Cons: With the freedom, came a lot of responsibilty, pressure and eye rolls.
Different options of living room layout during design process
Electrical Plan with switch specifications
Functionality and Aesthetics- The living room is thoughtfully planned. The Main door is shifted in the north east corner to make a separate entrance foyer. The mandir has been placed in the north-east corner of the living room in adherence to vaastu norms. The wall in between the toilet area and living room has been broken and a partition has been build to make the living room area larger and the passage for toilet smaller.
The living room has earthy tones of golden, brown, red, black and green in various materials used. Geometric patterns are used-
1. In the door of the mandir as a CNC cut-out.
2. In the ceiling and TV-unit as 6mm grooves in veneer.
3. In the safety grill which is made of mild steel finished in golden deco paint.

Client’s functional needs- For my own room, I always wanted a seat near the large window, where I could read books, work or just have cup of tea! And I did just that! The window seat has drawers below it for storage. As the room is of a minimal size, I designed a foldable study desk that merges with the bookshelf.
Client’s aesthetic needs- I am a person who loves colour. But I did not want to disrupt the house theme of earthen tones. So, I settled for an eccentric colourful curtain with ethnic design pattern. I added the same patterned cloth to the window seating.
