Ramani Residence

A two-level apartment made warm through colour, craft and custom furniture.

Bangalore · 2006 · 2,500 sq ft interiors

The Ramanis came to us with a Gujarat sensibility and an apartment that felt smaller than it was. We opened the interior into one warm, generous space and coloured it the way Gujarat does: ochre, terracotta and deep red. Lit niches show off the objects the family already owned, and each niche was designed around the piece it holds. Every piece of furniture was drawn from scratch, from the solid teak dining table to the low pine sofa and the wardrobes with inlaid patterns. Nothing came off a shelf. The result is a home that feels completely like its owners.
