This home, located in the core city area of Pune, was to be redesigned with only one condition - to preserve the heritage like feel of the place along with making it utilitarian. The client’s father, an avid painter has been given a full wall as a display gallery. To preserve the core city character of the place, old switchboards, exposed wire work and louvred shutters were preserved and highlighted in the design. The daughter’s room, who recently moved out after marriage was designed to double up as a studio for the client’s painting work and also serve as a guest room.
