Asro Arcade
Snuggled in the busy residential area of Gurugram—is the home of Ar. Robin Sisodiya, the Founder of ASRO Arcade India. The architect’s home is built on a limited land area of 125 sq.m, with utmost aesthetics and efficiency. The primary idea for this “retreat” was a space that allows its residents to get closer to nature, which is successfully accomplished through the use of natural elements and materials in design. The innovative one-of-a-kind exterior with copper and aluminium makes the home stand out from its surroundings. The facade in itself serves as an artwork with colourful metal patinas which brings an undeniable artsy aesthetic to the home. ASRO Arcade, always known for its innovation in facades, has introduced copper cladding in facades for the first time in India.
With natural rustic finishes, glimmers of verdure, and vibrant accents, the home is a simple and chic oasis amidst the tight residential neighbourhood in Gurugram. A special emphasis on the interior was given to achieve a minimalist, airy, colour-rich home, with a close connection to nature. It was followed by an intent for the interplay of volumes to bring in additional natural light and the utilisation of a combination of colours, textures, geometry, and natural materials to achieve a sense of balance. The resultant material palette was pared-back and mellow- an emblem of calm in the surrounding urban chaos.
In terms of navigating the layout, the home hosts a large living-dining area, along with a quirky kitchen, two master bedrooms, two smaller bedrooms, and a family lounge. The design of each room is given careful attention to make the most of it. The undersides of the family lounge, for instance, were given a rustic avatar, with a brick backdrop that could be thoughtfully utilised as a cosy personal spot. The materials used included glass, wood, concrete, and wicker—all favoured for being sustainable and low-maintenance, but also oh-so-chic.
The master bedroom on the first floor carries the complex theme of the home, with its mellow colours and natural wooden flooring. The floor-ceiling high window opens to the greenery and allows abundant natural light to flow into the space. The well-planned interior accommodates a large low-lying bed with side tables, a TV cabinet and a cosy armchair to enjoy the view of nature. The large size windows further create an illusion of a bigger space in a relatively smaller area. The metallic accents are also sprinkled in the bedroom, attuned to the rest of the house. Flexible furniture pieces occupy the vast family lounge on this floor, which allows for casual family gatherings and enjoying their time together.
Moving further up, the other bedroom also follows a minimal design language with a rather subdued colour palette. On the other hand, the kids’ bedroom hardly diverges from the design scheme and is decorated with curvy alcoved bedrest and quirky throws, that personalise the space for the child. The simple and clean kitchen with smart furnishings and hidden storage solutions also opens into the greens bringing an airy feel to the compact space. The vase on the kitchen counter peeps out with a pop of yellow and adds a sense of quirk to the kitchen.
The drawing room, on the terrace, is furnished with a colourful sofa set and wicker chairs, in the hues of blue and pink. Throughout the home, artwork in vivid colours and lush green plants keeps making regular appearances, and bath spaces are no exception. The drawing room is vibrant and is a nod to the energetic conversations of the guests, while the dining that flows from the living area, is designed with minimal furnishings, for low-key gatherings and private affairs. The centrally located staircase bound by brick walls becomes the most admired design element that separates the living and dining areas and showcases minimal but bold material aesthetics. The space overlooks a private balcony where the family likes to sit back and watch films on a large screen.
The home brings sustainability to the forefront with its conscious and impactful design that includes, efficient facade design, energy-saving LED studio lights, and the predominant use of local materials and labour along with the inclusion of nature. Large windows and openings are featured across the home, allowing for a flood of natural light to take over. Considering the restricted plot size and the inevitable adjoining construction, the home draws inspiration from apartment-style living to achieve an effective design.
Decocer
Decocer has participated in this urban utopia with one of its most outstanding ceramic designs: the Devon collection. This rectangular tile faces a very colourful project. Camel, Sky and Olive colours have been the tones chosen for the three bathrooms in one of the Espai Verd duplexes.
The irregular edges and reliefs in different thicknesses from this collection are key for providing dimension, texture and volume to the space, since they make the rooms become bigger and achieve a unique character. Read more...

This family home is an example of a modern design filled with natural light and building blocks comprised of sustainable material – in this case wood, one of the if not the most strategic material of Slovenia . It's definitely not a typical prefabricated house out of catalogue as we tried to develop a residence that meets the needs of modern users while having functional floor plans and contemporary elegant exterior all appropriately settled into its landscape.
Main concept presents three volumes that are placed in a triangular composition partially overlayed with a rectangular form of the upper floor. While the dynamic shape of the groundfloor is covered with a flat roof, the 1st floor is completed with a gable –like roof, echoing the traditional architecture of the house's surroundings.
While we enter into an open spacious and dynamically shaped groundfloor we discover a pleasant intimate ambience. The living room and dining area offer a lot of natural light through the large glazed window surfaces. A prominent staircase leads us to the upper sleeping area that consists of the main bedroom with its own dressing room and a bathroom and children's rooms with a smaller bathroom.
Despite groundfloor's dynamic shape, its façade is monochrome - predominately a clean white surface in combination with bigger windows. On the contrary the simple form of the upper floor has a boldly designed façade - a combination of dark colour shades and natural larch wood’s textures.
Wood is the basic structural element and at the same time complements the facades, window frames, while also dominating the interiors.

MERAKI DESIGNS
Embedded in a plain philosophy of design approach, the residence for two is located on the outskirts of Surat with plenty of open space around the plot. Originally a weekend house, the structure is a part of a gated community with abundant vegetation and fresh air, something that is difficult to discover in the bustling and fast-growing city of Surat. The G+1 volume has its openings facing the common road that runs along the plot area. The exterior of the bungalow gives off an impression of a weekend home, with a sloping roof gracing the elevational treatment and balconies stepping out to oversee the softscape and hardscape design in the common plot. The front facade sees a role glass, plaster, and wooden cladding, showcasing a balanced palette of transparency and opaqueness.
The ground floor occupies the common area, which hosts an open plan between the living, dining area, and kitchen. The clientele requirements were quite brief: they desired a home with plenty of natural light paired with simplistic furniture designs to adorn the space. With this brief, the interior designers came up with an original concept and idea for the couple’s home. The built-up space covers an area of 1500 sq. ft. with the primary concern of keeping the design welcoming and intimate. The design language of the interiors has a contemporary dialogue that flows around the house. The contemporary impressions come out in wall paneling, furnishings, color palette, textures, and lighting fixtures too. The familial spaces have a theme of black and white. The classic combination of colors is paired with a design pedagogy that makes the space stand out. The living room is painted white, while the light-gray fabric of the couch highlights the space. The teal-colored poufs and pillows bring in a wave of pop in a light and steady backdrop. The white paneling on the walls makes up for a TV unit and it continues its play to the dining area. The veneer encompassing the dining table and chairs compliment the white paneling and the splash of black in the kitchen beyond. The lighting fixture for the dining area has a rustic and chic vibe to it which intensifies the space’s value.
The kitchen stands out very boldly and bravely with its sides smeared in black. The overhead cabinets and drawers have a similar design approach, with black duco coating and golden- colored handles. The glass cabinets with golden knobs give the kitchen a very quaint feel. A breakfast counter blends in with the kitchen, highlighted by a pair of bar stools. The pairing of monochrome colors falls in line with the client’s wish of achieving simplicity. The whites of the space make the room look bigger when it receives plenty of natural light from the openings. The ground floor consists of a bedroom with an attached bathroom and a common washroom. The ground floor bedroom is aligned in a similar color scheme except the white is put together with a shade of light pastel green. The white paneling behind the head of the bed has a calming and sober effect with innocent grooves and an ornamental lighting fixture on both sides of the bed. The headboard is seen as an intricate piece of embroidery and brings in a sense of play in an overall simple layout. The side tables speak a pop of pastel while the cabinets and television unit camouflage with the wall. The dog- legged staircase is supported with black tainted glass. The first floor is occupied by three bedrooms and a pooja room. They follow a similar theme of tranquil and simple colors. The master bedroom on the first floor has a color scheme of pastel green and white. The contemporary panel design lines up from the headboard to the cupboard. The quaint intricacies of pattern and embroidery on curtains and the bed’s back support add a touch of nonchalance. The bedroom facing the entrance carries a hint of gray, black, and white in its wake. The black sconces on both sides of the bed emanate a classical feeling. The children’s bedroom is approached with a playful yet mindful method. The sofa set placed within the cupboard space stretches into a bed when needed, a smart solution to make a space multi- functional. The pooja room is soothing to the eyes with its white and golden luminescence.

This family home is an example of a modern design filled with natural light and building blocks comprised of sustainable material – in this case wood, one of the if not the most strategic material of Slovenia . It's definitely not a typical prefabricated house out of catalogue as we tried to develop a residence that meets the needs of modern users while having functional floor plans and contemporary elegant exterior all appropriately settled into its landscape.
Main concept presents three volumes that are placed in a triangular composition partially overlayed with a rectangular form of the upper floor. While the dynamic shape of the groundfloor is covered with a flat roof, the 1st floor is completed with a gable –like roof, echoing the traditional architecture of the house's surroundings.
While we enter into an open spacious and dynamically shaped groundfloor we discover a pleasant intimate ambience.

A prominent staircase leads us to the upper sleeping area that consists of the main bedroom with its own dressing room and a bathroom and children's rooms with a smaller bathroom.

Asro Arcade
Snuggled in the busy residential area of Gurugram—is the home of Ar. Robin Sisodiya, the Founder of ASRO Arcade India. The architect’s home is built on a limited land area of 125 sq.m, with utmost aesthetics and efficiency. The primary idea for this “retreat” was a space that allows its residents to get closer to nature, which is successfully accomplished through the use of natural elements and materials in design. The innovative one-of-a-kind exterior with copper and aluminium makes the home stand out from its surroundings. The facade in itself serves as an artwork with colourful metal patinas which brings an undeniable artsy aesthetic to the home. ASRO Arcade, always known for its innovation in facades, has introduced copper cladding in facades for the first time in India.
With natural rustic finishes, glimmers of verdure, and vibrant accents, the home is a simple and chic oasis amidst the tight residential neighbourhood in Gurugram. A special emphasis on the interior was given to achieve a minimalist, airy, colour-rich home, with a close connection to nature. It was followed by an intent for the interplay of volumes to bring in additional natural light and the utilisation of a combination of colours, textures, geometry, and natural materials to achieve a sense of balance. The resultant material palette was pared-back and mellow- an emblem of calm in the surrounding urban chaos.
In terms of navigating the layout, the home hosts a large living-dining area, along with a quirky kitchen, two master bedrooms, two smaller bedrooms, and a family lounge. The design of each room is given careful attention to make the most of it. The undersides of the family lounge, for instance, were given a rustic avatar, with a brick backdrop that could be thoughtfully utilised as a cosy personal spot. The materials used included glass, wood, concrete, and wicker—all favoured for being sustainable and low-maintenance, but also oh-so-chic.
The master bedroom on the first floor carries the complex theme of the home, with its mellow colours and natural wooden flooring. The floor-ceiling high window opens to the greenery and allows abundant natural light to flow into the space. The well-planned interior accommodates a large low-lying bed with side tables, a TV cabinet and a cosy armchair to enjoy the view of nature. The large size windows further create an illusion of a bigger space in a relatively smaller area. The metallic accents are also sprinkled in the bedroom, attuned to the rest of the house. Flexible furniture pieces occupy the vast family lounge on this floor, which allows for casual family gatherings and enjoying their time together.
Moving further up, the other bedroom also follows a minimal design language with a rather subdued colour palette. On the other hand, the kids’ bedroom hardly diverges from the design scheme and is decorated with curvy alcoved bedrest and quirky throws, that personalise the space for the child. The simple and clean kitchen with smart furnishings and hidden storage solutions also opens into the greens bringing an airy feel to the compact space. The vase on the kitchen counter peeps out with a pop of yellow and adds a sense of quirk to the kitchen.
The drawing room, on the terrace, is furnished with a colourful sofa set and wicker chairs, in the hues of blue and pink. Throughout the home, artwork in vivid colours and lush green plants keeps making regular appearances, and bath spaces are no exception. The drawing room is vibrant and is a nod to the energetic conversations of the guests, while the dining that flows from the living area, is designed with minimal furnishings, for low-key gatherings and private affairs. The centrally located staircase bound by brick walls becomes the most admired design element that separates the living and dining areas and showcases minimal but bold material aesthetics. The space overlooks a private balcony where the family likes to sit back and watch films on a large screen.
The home brings sustainability to the forefront with its conscious and impactful design that includes, efficient facade design, energy-saving LED studio lights, and the predominant use of local materials and labour along with the inclusion of nature. Large windows and openings are featured across the home, allowing for a flood of natural light to take over. Considering the restricted plot size and the inevitable adjoining construction, the home draws inspiration from apartment-style living to achieve an effective design.

The irregular edges and reliefs in different thicknesses from this collection are key for providing dimension, texture and volume to the space, since they make the rooms become bigger and achieve a unique character. Read more...

This family home is an example of a modern design filled with natural light and building blocks comprised of sustainable material – in this case wood, one of the if not the most strategic material of Slovenia . It's definitely not a typical prefabricated house out of catalogue as we tried to develop a residence that meets the needs of modern users while having functional floor plans and contemporary elegant exterior all appropriately settled into its landscape.
Main concept presents three volumes that are placed in a triangular composition partially overlayed with a rectangular form of the upper floor. While the dynamic shape of the groundfloor is covered with a flat roof, the 1st floor is completed with a gable –like roof, echoing the traditional architecture of the house's surroundings.
While we enter into an open spacious and dynamically shaped groundfloor we discover a pleasant intimate ambience. The living room and dining area offer a lot of natural light through the large glazed window surfaces. A prominent staircase leads us to the upper sleeping area that consists of the main bedroom with its own dressing room and a bathroom and children's rooms with a smaller bathroom.
Despite groundfloor's dynamic shape, its façade is monochrome - predominately a clean white surface in combination with bigger windows. On the contrary the simple form of the upper floor has a boldly designed façade - a combination of dark colour shades and natural larch wood’s textures.
Wood is the basic structural element and at the same time complements the facades, window frames, while also dominating the interiors.
Asro Arcade
Snuggled in the busy residential area of Gurugram—is the home of Ar. Robin Sisodiya, the Founder of ASRO Arcade India. The architect’s home is built on a limited land area of 125 sq.m, with utmost aesthetics and efficiency. The primary idea for this “retreat” was a space that allows its residents to get closer to nature, which is successfully accomplished through the use of natural elements and materials in design. The innovative one-of-a-kind exterior with copper and aluminium makes the home stand out from its surroundings. The facade in itself serves as an artwork with colourful metal patinas which brings an undeniable artsy aesthetic to the home. ASRO Arcade, always known for its innovation in facades, has introduced copper cladding in facades for the first time in India.
With natural rustic finishes, glimmers of verdure, and vibrant accents, the home is a simple and chic oasis amidst the tight residential neighbourhood in Gurugram. A special emphasis on the interior was given to achieve a minimalist, airy, colour-rich home, with a close connection to nature. It was followed by an intent for the interplay of volumes to bring in additional natural light and the utilisation of a combination of colours, textures, geometry, and natural materials to achieve a sense of balance. The resultant material palette was pared-back and mellow- an emblem of calm in the surrounding urban chaos.
In terms of navigating the layout, the home hosts a large living-dining area, along with a quirky kitchen, two master bedrooms, two smaller bedrooms, and a family lounge. The design of each room is given careful attention to make the most of it. The undersides of the family lounge, for instance, were given a rustic avatar, with a brick backdrop that could be thoughtfully utilised as a cosy personal spot. The materials used included glass, wood, concrete, and wicker—all favoured for being sustainable and low-maintenance, but also oh-so-chic.
The master bedroom on the first floor carries the complex theme of the home, with its mellow colours and natural wooden flooring. The floor-ceiling high window opens to the greenery and allows abundant natural light to flow into the space. The well-planned interior accommodates a large low-lying bed with side tables, a TV cabinet and a cosy armchair to enjoy the view of nature. The large size windows further create an illusion of a bigger space in a relatively smaller area. The metallic accents are also sprinkled in the bedroom, attuned to the rest of the house. Flexible furniture pieces occupy the vast family lounge on this floor, which allows for casual family gatherings and enjoying their time together.
Moving further up, the other bedroom also follows a minimal design language with a rather subdued colour palette. On the other hand, the kids’ bedroom hardly diverges from the design scheme and is decorated with curvy alcoved bedrest and quirky throws, that personalise the space for the child. The simple and clean kitchen with smart furnishings and hidden storage solutions also opens into the greens bringing an airy feel to the compact space. The vase on the kitchen counter peeps out with a pop of yellow and adds a sense of quirk to the kitchen.
The drawing room, on the terrace, is furnished with a colourful sofa set and wicker chairs, in the hues of blue and pink. Throughout the home, artwork in vivid colours and lush green plants keeps making regular appearances, and bath spaces are no exception. The drawing room is vibrant and is a nod to the energetic conversations of the guests, while the dining that flows from the living area, is designed with minimal furnishings, for low-key gatherings and private affairs. The centrally located staircase bound by brick walls becomes the most admired design element that separates the living and dining areas and showcases minimal but bold material aesthetics. The space overlooks a private balcony where the family likes to sit back and watch films on a large screen.
The home brings sustainability to the forefront with its conscious and impactful design that includes, efficient facade design, energy-saving LED studio lights, and the predominant use of local materials and labour along with the inclusion of nature. Large windows and openings are featured across the home, allowing for a flood of natural light to take over. Considering the restricted plot size and the inevitable adjoining construction, the home draws inspiration from apartment-style living to achieve an effective design.

MERAKI DESIGNS
Embedded in a plain philosophy of design approach, the residence for two is located on the outskirts of Surat with plenty of open space around the plot. Originally a weekend house, the structure is a part of a gated community with abundant vegetation and fresh air, something that is difficult to discover in the bustling and fast-growing city of Surat. The G+1 volume has its openings facing the common road that runs along the plot area. The exterior of the bungalow gives off an impression of a weekend home, with a sloping roof gracing the elevational treatment and balconies stepping out to oversee the softscape and hardscape design in the common plot. The front facade sees a role glass, plaster, and wooden cladding, showcasing a balanced palette of transparency and opaqueness.
The ground floor occupies the common area, which hosts an open plan between the living, dining area, and kitchen. The clientele requirements were quite brief: they desired a home with plenty of natural light paired with simplistic furniture designs to adorn the space. With this brief, the interior designers came up with an original concept and idea for the couple’s home. The built-up space covers an area of 1500 sq. ft. with the primary concern of keeping the design welcoming and intimate. The design language of the interiors has a contemporary dialogue that flows around the house. The contemporary impressions come out in wall paneling, furnishings, color palette, textures, and lighting fixtures too. The familial spaces have a theme of black and white. The classic combination of colors is paired with a design pedagogy that makes the space stand out. The living room is painted white, while the light-gray fabric of the couch highlights the space. The teal-colored poufs and pillows bring in a wave of pop in a light and steady backdrop. The white paneling on the walls makes up for a TV unit and it continues its play to the dining area. The veneer encompassing the dining table and chairs compliment the white paneling and the splash of black in the kitchen beyond. The lighting fixture for the dining area has a rustic and chic vibe to it which intensifies the space’s value.
The kitchen stands out very boldly and bravely with its sides smeared in black. The overhead cabinets and drawers have a similar design approach, with black duco coating and golden- colored handles. The glass cabinets with golden knobs give the kitchen a very quaint feel. A breakfast counter blends in with the kitchen, highlighted by a pair of bar stools. The pairing of monochrome colors falls in line with the client’s wish of achieving simplicity. The whites of the space make the room look bigger when it receives plenty of natural light from the openings. The ground floor consists of a bedroom with an attached bathroom and a common washroom. The ground floor bedroom is aligned in a similar color scheme except the white is put together with a shade of light pastel green. The white paneling behind the head of the bed has a calming and sober effect with innocent grooves and an ornamental lighting fixture on both sides of the bed. The headboard is seen as an intricate piece of embroidery and brings in a sense of play in an overall simple layout. The side tables speak a pop of pastel while the cabinets and television unit camouflage with the wall. The dog- legged staircase is supported with black tainted glass. The first floor is occupied by three bedrooms and a pooja room. They follow a similar theme of tranquil and simple colors. The master bedroom on the first floor has a color scheme of pastel green and white. The contemporary panel design lines up from the headboard to the cupboard. The quaint intricacies of pattern and embroidery on curtains and the bed’s back support add a touch of nonchalance. The bedroom facing the entrance carries a hint of gray, black, and white in its wake. The black sconces on both sides of the bed emanate a classical feeling. The children’s bedroom is approached with a playful yet mindful method. The sofa set placed within the cupboard space stretches into a bed when needed, a smart solution to make a space multi- functional. The pooja room is soothing to the eyes with its white and golden luminescence.
