Architecture studio Renesa works to capture modern details with references to historical Indian homes in the form of the House of Gond residence. This is designed for fashion designer Monica Gaur who shares a passion for traditional crafts and architecture. The apartment is in Pune, which is an urban location and so the team wanted to capture the typical charm of Kerala bungalows, which are also known as 'nalukettus.'
The architect speaks about the design, noting that "The play of proportion superimposed with heavy carvings and woodwork form the backbone of this house." It continues to explain that the design works to "blend traditional Indian aesthetics with a contemporary approach to create an understated luxurious living space."
