Bay Residence

Our first step in the design process is always to listen carefully to our client’s brief and requirements and imbibe their aspirations, fondness and expectations for their house. Designing for a Bohri Muslim family made me dwell into the interior elements of traditional Bohri homes in Patan, Gujarat. We took elemental inspiration in terms of their carved furniture especially for the master bedroom since the seniors really wanted that connection with their past. The younger generation wanted a more minimal and contemporary take on their past, which made me take stimuli from the and wallpapers used then. We realized that the walls in traditional Bohri homes were beautifully cladded with printed wallpaper, they had Mouldings on walls and exquisitely carved furniture with a soothing pastel color scheme on the exteriors of the houses which make these Patan streets Instagram worthy.
