Dear IAnDian,

The big highlight of this week is the unveiling of our new chapter - the upcoming video series at IndiaArtnDesign. The teaser must surely have conveyed a glimpse of what's to come. But believe me, the final videos will blow you over.

I take this opportunity on behalf of our entire team to thank each of the creatives who have opened their doors to us - both, of their homes and their hearts. Our pleasurable tête-à-têtes have translated to such beautiful captures that we feel like laughing and crying with them at the same time. If you haven't already seen the prelaunch video, check it out here https://youtu.be/By5f_NMXx_E

On another note, our design stories this week take you on a jaunt of a few homes, an office and a restaurant - each illustrating the uniqueness in the applied tenets of design.

Starting tomorrow, we urge you to watch out for our upcoming special pre-Diwali issue tailored to your design and décor need for the festive season. Aptly titled 'Ideas you can use', Team IAnD is especially curating the best and brightest tips that will add a sizzling sparkle to your Diwali preparations.

Stay tuned...

Warm regards,

Dear IAnDian,

The vocabulary of architecture has never been limited by geometry. In fact, it can take off at various tangents from the existing and the available to confer the space with new meaning. In the evergreen tussle between form and function, our stories this week strike on the latter: building around an existing tree to foster organic growth and preserve the environment; making full use of an irregular floor plan by maximising utility and function to fulfil the demands of a contemporary lifestyle; or as our cover story illustrates - repurposing a space, adapting it to new functionality and usage... not once but twice over, and accomplishing the program on a fresh footing each time... simply endorses the versatility of a design vocabulary that is unshackled by any 'ism'.

We hope you appreciate the brevity of our features that are especially curated to conserve your time without losing out on the essence of the information shared. Write in to us with your feedback on editor@indiaartndesign.com

Wishing you all a very Happy Vijayadashmi! May incessant success build your milestones!!

Warm regards,

Dear IAnDian,

Design is a very responsible defining element that carves life's processes for the betterment of the immediate recipient and has an enormous reciprocal impact contextually.

Our stories this week focus on the need for a change in perspective. The way we view aging structures, our desire for all things glossy and well-finished, our communal ties, and the like.

Human strife and a continual depletion of resources is being constantly, universally attested. We bring three instances to the fore - all three dynamic and part of our everyday lives - travel, old buildings and the basic human need to acquire knowledge.

Let me leave you to discover a wealth of possibilities...

Awaiting your feedback, as usual, on editor@indiartndesign.com

Do we call it ingenuity or design?

Dear IAnDian,

Ingenuity is an integral component of design. Through the ages, basic construction and finishing materials have remained the same, yet, the design approach reinvents them with every application. In our stories this week, an aspect of design that stands out is how a single element of design can premeditate the programme.

While the home in Mumbai uses camouflage as its highlight, marking the simple chic interiors with strategic intrigue; The Window Factory in Ahmedabad curates an inventive display of windows in an informal and warm ambience, connecting the seller and buyers via an intimate dialogue. Likewise, the Delft railway station contextualises its design by annointing the ceiling with the map of the district. And in our cover story - the palatial waterfront home in Di Lido island, water becomes the resuscitating factor throughout with various spaces flirting with waterbodies; routine activities like having a cuppa or relaxing are woven around the deep blue waters, thereby programming the spaces and the mindset into luxe mode.

Explore it for yourself...

Warmly,

Dear IAnDian,

Bring the outdoors in or the indoors out? A question that has time and again, in countless ways, redefined the various open-to-sky spaces that form an important adjunct to our homes, offices...

The association of interiors and exteriors is a narrative as old as architecture, the influence of one always evident on the other. Certain spaces borrow charm from the exteriors, and others bleed into the landscape. While lines are blurred, lifestyles are transformed. Off late, the significance of the easily accessible outdoors has intensified. They might be small, but they're not insignificant. They're versatile, unique, comfortable and powerful motivators for socialization.

This week, we bring to you multiple such spaces that play up the drama and intimacy of the quintessential private outdoors, each with a personality of its own - some spirited, some calm; some eclectic, some bold; some statement and some chic; where warm lighting, textured materials, green landscape and bright accents combine to exude a unique appeal that encourages one to linger, creating spaces that are not only well-loved, but also well-lived.

See for yourself here...

Warm Regards,
Ar. Vinita Wagh
