Of Islamic art and artistry| The iphone of lugguage| A fairytale home in the woods| A visually connected home| and more

Every space has its calling. The tangible-intangible, when harmonious, create a narrative that communicates with the user on his metaphysical plane. Our issue this week is all about unique connections. Check out our trending story by Collage Architecture. This visually connected home goes beyond spatial intelligibility to evoke a strong emotional connect. Experiencing the built form and nature almost simultaneously in this abode gives a new high! A similar experience is evoked in the Al Sultan restaurant at Mayfair, London, where the designers IDEA interiors have woven a bespoke aura of mid-eastern architectural motifs, aesthetically presenting it in the now. The vocabulary of subtlety and contextuality is reflected in the other projects too – Ar. Brinda Somaya’s prayer room for the Goa Institute of Management, Ar. Jean Verville’s fairytale home in the woods; KNS Architects’ monochromatic magic in a Mumbai apartment; Ar. Yoshitaka Uchino’s ingenious bookcircle as the highlight and most significant interior component in a Tokyo home... allude to bespoke design solutions that make a strong – very strong connect. Enjoy the issue!  Warmly, Savitha Hira Editor

A book aimed at the gourmet adventurer| Philippines gets its first BRT| Classic contemporary home |Redefining street furniture| and more

While fads and trends have their place in the sun, timelessness is an evergreen quality, sought irrespective of the kind of decor – thematic, rustic, contemporary... Peter Staunton’s mix of classic styles in the renovation of Warwickshire’s country house plays on understated glamour in an absolutely contemporary vocab; as does Rabih Geha Architects’ Villa Badaro Restaurant in Beirut – a simple transformation that highlights the heritage factor amidst its upbeat avatar. The farmhouse by Ar. Sanjay Patil on the outskirts of Nashik too plays on ageless appeal as it woos nature, serenading it! At the other end, our studio was in deep discussion over the book ‘Creative Chef’ and its review. Of course, subjectivity rules and we had differing opinions on both, the contents and the review. Probably you could write in and tell us your viewpoints. Cheers to alluring and engaging spaces! Warmly, Savitha Hira Editor
