Commercial project by Design Palette Goenka

In my last post, I featured a residential project by Design Palette Goenka, If you haven't read that, please click here.

Well to brief you a little about DPG, Design Palette Goenka is a first-of-its-kind material library and interior design studio based in Bangalore. Ameeshi Goenka founded DPG after gaining extensive experience in space design and material specifications, having worked with renowned retail design firm FRDC in Bangalore and residential design firm StudioWB in Kolkata.

Today let us look at how they undertook a commercial project and completed it successfully.

DIVINITY ORGANICS

Divinity Retail Store was Mrs. Yogita's dream business. Adopting the notion of " Design for Business " to be able to launch Divinity in the Bangalore market, the vision was clear. The use of lime green and grey with a blend of natural materials like wood, jute and cane made the entire store come to life.  All in all, the project was completed within four months and in the given budget.

Façade and signage design. Signage is made with acrylic on HPL with a hanging planter and ornamental metal support. Awning and planters cover the organic retail store entrance with lights on either side of the entrance and double hung window, giving it a chic café entrance from the streets of Europe. 

Feature wall: The store layout being asymmetric, we added a dummy beam and created a central focal element, the feature wall. First look of the customer on entering the store with low height modular furniture. Wooden rafters run along from the ground through the ceiling. Rafters are spaced out and wallpaper is used as a background.

Concept: Pure and natural being the tagline, store décor with cane storage and small planters do complete justice to the concept and motto of the store!

Notable features: Retail cashier desk and display with vertical open wooden storage behind it. The wooden pendant light above is warm and subtle. The racks on the counter prompt the customers for impulse purchase of small items.

Storage racks: Divinity has ample open storage with maximised corner usage for bottle storage. The slotted vertical members allow for modularity with respect to different object sizes and visibility. There is a provision for categorization above every individual fixture. Wooden slabs have been used for placement of products.

I felt that the design of this store has been done keeping easy accessibility of products and being consumer friendly in mind. Just what a retail store need!!

Design palette Goenka- Project: Luharuka House

Design Palette Goenka is a first-of-its-kind material library and interior design studio based in Bangalore. Ameeshi Goenka founded DPG after gaining extensive experience in space design and material specifications, having worked with renowned retail design firm FRDC in Bangalore and residential design firm StudioWB in Kolkata.

Today, let us take a look at project Luharuka designed by them in Kolkata. It is a 3 BHK home designed in boutique style.

Client's brief: To have a simple yet stylish 3BHK home in Alipore Park Place, Kolkata

Duration: The renovation process from designing to execution took a period of five months from April to August in 2021. 

Budget: Their budget of 20lakhs was justified with the materials used and the service provided.

Design Elements: The design language follows that of a boutique hotel wherein the mood setting is neutral, shapes and forms are linear and a splash of colours to highlight certain elements in each space. The lighting is simple and a warm white tone allows the residents to feel relaxed but not lazy. The interior décor of the space is bold and vibrant but kept to a minimum.

Let us visit each portion of the home and take a look at how it has been executed.

Foyer : This home welcomes us with a full length application of bevelled square silver mirrors with comfortable furniture for sitting with a colourful patterned upholstery. A combination of natural and artificial planters gives a warm feeling and is easy to maintain.

Fabric rafters and lighting that suitably enhances it

Living room: The living room directly invites the guests to its cozy seating arrangement and a small decorative coffee table in the center. The bright shades on the cushions and canvas paintings highlight the space, giving it a chic touch. Every member of the Luharuka family is a staunch believer of Sri Sri Ravishankar which made the feature element in their living area as opposed to the TV unit in most households. Along with fabric rafter panels and elegant drop lighting on either side the celebration of The Guruji has come to life! 

Minimalistic pooja corner

Pooja: An open small wall mounted unit is created which is simple, blends with the background and extremely functional in day to day usage. With a glass surface on top, it makes it very easy to clean.

Daughter’s Bedroom: The colour white dominates this bedroom with a splash of beige shade on the bed heard-board and wardrobes. A small corner is perfectly utilized to create a productive study area too. The TV unit is quite simple and convenient and is accented by black rafters next to it.  The full height mirror in the bedroom is perfect for a lady who enjoys dressing up, additionally helps the bedroom look even more spacious than usual. The quiet dead corner between the doors is specially treated with an indoor planter and a decorative hanging light which increases the aesthetic value of the space and adds a sense of freshness and life.

Master Bedroom: The drawing factor of this room is the vintage wallpaper in a modern setting bedroom. The wallpaper is used as a back-splash of the bed with textured glass rafters on either side of the headboard. The full height laminated wardrobes and the full height mirror exaggerates the height of the bedroom. The bedroom lighting in the step false ceiling adds drama to the space while maintaining high luminescence.

Features of this project that impressed me is how well the aesthetic value is maintained while keeping the functional side intact. A no -fuss, easy to maintain space keeping the clients requirement in mind is the strength of this project designed by Design Plaette Goenka.

Certain other elements that I particularly liked is the usage of full length mirror in the foyer that gives a spacious look to the area and the pooja unit. This helps the residents to offer their prayers  but keep it simple and aesthetic at the same time.

Do tell me how you like this home and what are the features you find worth implementing. There is always some take away for all of us from beautiful homes like these!
