It is easy to forget that this house is in the suburbs of Coimbatore. With a fusion of a contemporary-tropical mood, a black, white & red centric minimal design - this bachelor’s pad is an ideal amalgamation of the client’s brief. The client, who is a 75-year-old retired bachelor who came with an eclectic design brief, 15-year-old cane furniture set (a sofa, tables, lounge chairs, a bed base) and a love for plants. 

​

The design revolves around the plants he intended to populate the house with and the handsome furniture set. The principal design motif is derived from this set and enunciated through highlighting elements. While the bottom one-third of the door is flat, the top two-thirds of it is Fluted to imitate the cane furniture. The entire door is painted a beautiful spice red. The colour is a contrast to the set, but the similarity in form creates a visual language between the shell and what fills it. The red with black and white form the holy trinity of a colour palette that bases the warm cane tone.
