KNOW MORE ABOUT THE DESIGNERS:

The home Abode is a renovation project of a 15-year-old residence. Renovation work includes an outdoor landscape area, living room, kitchen, temple, and various bedrooms. Having a constant dialogue between the existing spaces and the spaces to be formed was crucial. Every element is transformed or is reused in some or the other way in this project. Thus, maintaining the character and essence of the original house.

It is a 4-bedroom bungalow, a 15 years old design and construction which needed renovation. A house for a family of 5, where all wanted a space that they could call their dear home as they have many emotions attached to it. The real challenge was to define the already existing spaces to feel homely and the designer managed to do it easily.
