INTERIOR
A
civilization like ours serves as an arboretum of
architectural styles. With irregular patterns in
settlement and planning, buildings do not share
a similar kind of envelope and neither do their interiors. It is
interesting to observe how different styles blend, how an
expressionists’ artwork meets a vernacular artefact under the
same hood; each residence expresses its own story, as if they
were a museum housing more than one asset to comfortably
accommodate the inhabitants, or be it the visitors.
At Chabahil downhill, approximately 200 meters from the
approach road of Gaurighat, the architect stands as an
opportunist in the design of an abode. Initially designed by
Ar. Binayandra Shrestha, the interior design was further taken
forward by Ar. Siddartha Gopalan, introducing his creativity to
what it has become now.
As one enters into the telia tile finished lobby, it
bifurcates to a well furnished living room to the left and
a floating waiting space to the right
