This holiday home in Pune was designed by Mili Savekar of Interiors by Mili. The homeowners wanted to keep alive their old family home, which was slated for demolition. The homeowners’ brief to the designer was simple: a characterful, colourful home that was the complete opposite of their Mumbai apartment. “This project was a constant surprise for me and for the clients too. It was designed ‘improvised’. There were no planned looks, no 3D renderings. Every time we discovered a new element that we wanted to add to the space, there was a discussion about the design and where that element should go,” reveals Mili.

Designed by Purple Backyard, a Mumbai-based interior design firm, this 600-square-foot duplex showcases an eclectic design aesthetic that follows the concept of ‘Hiwaga,’ a Filipino word that means ‘to evoke a sense of wonder.’ “For Hiwaga House, we created a narrative of a Zen-like atmosphere that connects each space. Instead of stone or marble, we used cement tiles, softer Oxford-pattern facade bricks, and on-site work to create an organic vibe. An open floor plan was used for the common areas, with zones demarcated by a subtle transition of materials. We tried to make the house unified yet seamless at the same time,” says Kumpal Vaid, founder and design lead of the design studio.

Principal architects Yash and Anuja Shah of One Habitat Studio designed this 93-square-metre home for a family of four and were given a simple brief: to create ample storage space without making the home look boxy. The design team decided to solve this problem by using muted tones and an earthy colour palette. Shah said, “We decided to use predominantly blue throughout the space. The blue soothes the eyes and keeps the freshness alive. The beige tones enhance the sense of earthiness. The monochrome artworks enhance these colours even more. All the patterns have soft curves that add fluidity to the space.”
