Nidhi Jain have been shortlisted for Living Space – Asia Pacific Award in the International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

Nidhi Jain’s task was to design the clients 5BHK, 3800 sg ft house. Fortunately the bones of the house were in a pretty good condition so they didn’t have to spend a lot of time in renovating bathrooms and kitchen , this area became a small enhancement. Everything else in the property from furniture to art and accessories was to be brought in or custom made and fit into a design story of a glamorous home.

When the clients walked into the Nidhi Jain office for the first time, they expressed their liking and made it noticeably clear what they wanted, which was – glamorous and sophisticated with a bit of opulence. The clients are both from financial Industry, entertaining is part of their profession and culture. The whole idea was to take the natural beauty as an inspiration in the design concept.

Nidhi generally start the design process by creating a story from the start of the house, leading into different spaces, until the last corner of the house. They then put in the blocks of “Requirements“ as the next layer. Once that is done, they add in emotions into the design like curiosity, excitement, pause, Mystery etc.

From a 1700 sq ft apartment now they were in a beautiful 3800sq feet house. It was a joy to see them all work from home and enjoy each corner of the house to the fullest.

In this house one of the key elements are the ARCHES. The designer has used this element, in different scales and form, from a restaurant to, office and now even residence. Arch is an organic form. We wanted to frame our elements of design through this arch. Being a contemporary style of design, we changed the language of these arches to suit our concept. We painted them in high gloss reflective finish and secondly, we switched the emphasis from height to width of the arch making it humble and suitable for a house yet creating drama in the space.
