In the bustling urban landscape of Gurugram, where life moves quickly, finding a refuge that offers both comfort and style can be a challenge. The Auburn Home, designed by Somya Malhotra of Sage Haus, offers a welcome contrast to the city’s energy. This two-bedroom apartment, spanning 4,000 square feet, it’s a reflection of the family who lives here.
Every corner has been thoughtfully designed to create a sense of tranquillity and warmth, blending modern aesthetics with practical functionality. The design of this home not only elevates the living experience but also caters to the specific needs and personalities of its residents, making it a perfect blend of comfort and contemporary living.
Designed to cater to a family of four, the home strikes a balance between modern design principles and a sense of comfort. The apartment is well-ventilated, bathed in natural light, and offers stunning panoramic views of the city skyline. The design brief focused on simplicity and functionality while ensuring that each space reflects the unique personality and preferences of its residents. With clean lines, a minimal aesthetic, and a calming color palette, the interiors create a welcoming atmosphere that is both stylish and practical.
The master bedroom strikes a harmonious balance between boldness and elegance. Honey oak wooden flooring creates a warm base, while black-stained open-grain veneer adds depth and character. Neutral-toned chenille fabrics and light-hued furniture soften the bold contrasts, infusing the space with a sense of lightness. Thoughtful design elements, such as concealed doors and glass pocket partitions, optimize the compact dimensions, ensuring the room feels open and fluid. These features not only enhance functionality but also create an illusion of spaciousness.
In contrast, the other bedroom celebrates individuality, reflecting the unique personality of its occupants. A soft, light color palette combines off-white wainscoting with the warmth of teak wood flooring, creating an inviting ambiance. Custom hand-painted wallpaper by Graham & Brown adds depth and texture, offering a personalized touch. Abstract shelving niches bring a playful yet functional element, providing practical storage. Bespoke furnishings with intricate trims and borders further elevate the room’s design, blending functionality with a timeless appeal that evolves with the occupant’s tastes.
The communal areas are thoughtfully planned to foster connection and create a sense of openness. A significant transformation was achieved by removing the wall between the dining area and the family lounge, resulting in a more expansive and dynamic central space.
The dining area features a sleek grey floor and is anchored by a striking white onyx dining table, which is a bold centerpiece. Blue woven leather chairs add a subtle yet lively pop of color, complementing the neutral tones of the surrounding interiors. Furniture sourced from West Elm, Pottery Barn, and Fennel adds a touch of understated elegance, ensuring the spaces are as comfortable as they are visually appealing.
Every element of The Auburn Home has been carefully curated to combine functionality with aesthetic appeal. From the choice of materials to the thoughtful layouts, the design reflects the family’s lifestyle and needs. It is a home that prioritizes comfort and connection while maintaining a timeless, modern look. The result is a space that feels both personal and versatile, perfectly suited to the family it was designed for.
