Practical Luxury
Architect and Interiors India|August 2023
Achieving elegance and a timeless design that remains relevant for years is the key aspiration for Kalpak Bhandari, Principal Architect at Veekas Studio. This remarkable apartment project truly showcases the successful realisation of that vision.
Practical Luxury

Kalpak Bhandari, the Principal Architect of Veekas Studio, has created a stunning apartment by merging two adjacent 3.5 BHK apartments into a single spacious 4 BHK apartment. Located on the first floor of a high-rise building, the home with a carpet area of 4,600 sq ft and a vast 4,000 sq ft terrace that can be accessed from every room, has a villa-like feel. The aim is to achieve sophistication and the enduring appeal in the design is undeniable. The bare-shell apartments provide ample opportunities to modify and customise the interior layout and finishes according to the client’s preferences while considering the incorporation of common building services.

SPACE FOR EVERYONE 

The clients, a family of five, including parents, two married daughters residing in the same city, and a 24-year-old son who would soon get married, were looking for a spacious 4-bedroom apartment. So, the design includes a master bedroom, a bedroom for the son, and two additional bedrooms that can also function as guest rooms when needed. Apart from this, a multi-utility space has been planned to serve as a yoga area, a family room for TV viewing, a place for their granddaughters to dance, and a home theatre with seating for approximately 6 to 8 people. The large terrace surrounding three sides of the apartment allows each space to have an outdoor extension, providing outdoor gathering and dining spaces.
