We tried to reinvent the generic manner in which age-old materials commonly get used in modern Indian homes. We used wood, brass, cane, lime plaster, concrete, stone, and fluted glass based on their earthiness and imperfectly perfect attributes.
— Veeram Shah, Architect, Designer and Founder, Design Ni Dukaan
Talking about the materiality of this house, Veeram says, “Simplicity, modesty and roughness are aspects incorporated in the choice of materials and textures. There lies a quiet beauty of unpretentiousness in our selection that does not assert its presence through striking design or bright colours.” Veeram’s underlying belief of ‘design to the point, design without excess’ is profound, given that this home is crafted with an Avant-Garde soul.
