VAIRAAG” a 3,690 sq. ft. house designed and decorated by Foresight Associates in Bill, Vadodara, Gujarat is an exemplary suburban house with a fresh, modern design and contrasting rustic elements. The name of the house was decided to be a combination of the names of the homeowners – Vaishali and Gaurang. “When we heard their idea for the name, we knew that this would have to be a design that reflects them – their love, their values and their personalities. Our goal had always been to marry design aesthetics with the personalities of the home owners to make the home unique to them. And we think we did just that. Of course, our efforts would not have paid off without the help from our clients,” say the brains behind the project at Foresight Associates – Shivali Agrawal, Kunal Patel and Azaz Saleh.

The raw concrete exterior with exposed bricks and sparsely used rustic metal gives the house a modern façade, while the simple grey picket fence and the landscaping of the garden and balconies makes it softer – homelier. In the front façade, customized corten steel jalis have been designed in such a manner that it cast an interesting sociography in the interior spaces, as well as give a modern look in the elevation of the house.

With the low granite steps, the beautiful details of exposed bricks and the seamless transition into teak-wood main door, this entrance sets the pace for the interior of the home. With the Oikos finished texture on the wall and the ceiling, this foyer gives the design a 3D look with the tasteful abstract wall art and its pseudo shadow on the flooring. The gigantic wooden door with the Patina-finish handle and the wooden entryway table with a pristine black marble top are the perfect embellishments.
