DESIGN APPROACH

In the vibrant neighbourhood of Jubilee Hills of Hyderabad, a remarkable three-story house stands gracefully on a rocky terrain. What was once a bungalow has been meticulously transformed into a magnificent dwelling that seamlessly blends Indian and contemporary architectural styles. With its unique fusion, Verve captures the essence of both traditions in a truly remarkable way.

The renovation for Verve involved extensive refurbishing that ingeniously utilised the existing columns and beams. To compensate for limited land availability, the structure underwent vertical expansion, resulting in a striking facade. Solid and granular textured walls visually divide the spaces within the house, while the incorporation of double heights creates an illusion of larger volume. A pergola crafted with mild steel members and glass enhances the verticality and also connects the balconies on each level seamlessly.

MAKING AN ENTRY

The entrance is a striking contrast between black granite floating steps, antique planters, and a textured white wall. The 8-foot wide sturdy mild steel gate serves as the gateway to the main entrance lobby area, where the foyer encapsulates the grandeur and essence of the house. Armani grey marble flooring and a sleek mild steel console create a captivating juxtaposition against the antique monolith installation, seamlessly blending modern and Indian elements. With minimal furniture, the room fosters a seamless flow between the foyer and the living room, encouraging free and open interaction. The clever use of curved sofas optimises space while creating an intimate and welcoming atmosphere.

TRADITIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY

Continuing the curvilinear furniture language, the living room on the first level features a unique partition made of wooden reapers and brass, serving as a stylish backdrop for the TV unit. An arresting column wrapped in antique-polished brass sheets commands attention. The room is further furnished with stained shelves and circular brass pipes in various sizes, flawlessly blending with the contemporary-style leather sofa and abstract artwork. Adding to the fusion of Indian and contemporary design is an antique monolith horse face sourced from Orion Studio and a fluid-looking wicker and concrete table from Vakr Studio.

The double-height dining hall becomes a focal point on this level with its custom hand-painted ceiling art by Ram Kishan. This exquisite masterpiece, inspired by botanical themes, infuses the neutral room with vibrant colours, creating a captivating visual experience.
