VS House is a family home in the outskirts of Ahmedabad. Originally a 4 bedroom house built around 7 years ago, it has been retrofitted into a 3 bedroom one. The existing house was stripped of all its finishes and redesigned from scratch, while a lot of the spaces and services were changed as well.
"The house is designed with a minimalist tone. Instead of adding more elements, focus has been given on the nature of the materials used to finish the insides, which create the entire ambience."
A combination of leather finished and mirror polished grey Kota stone has been used with intricate patterns in the floor, to define spaces that are otherwise monochromatic.
The dining has a diagonal leather finished black Kadappa and the private lounge has large pieces of the same stone.
The study is imagined as a wooden box, making it one of the warmest spaces in the house.
The walls and ceilings take a grey colour to keep the tones monochromatic hence making the wooden furniture elements pop out.

"A majority of the wood used in the project is reclaimed and the walls are all finished with a lime wash. This entire palette has been chosen keeping locally available materials in mind."
