The Solace Residence
Pune · 5BHK Duplex Bungalow
Design Intent
The Solace Residence is a refined villa renovation designed around warmth, light, and timeless living. It transforms an existing structure into a calm, contemporary home layered with natural textures, soft neutrals, and bespoke detailing. The design language balances understated luxury with functionality — from the double-height living volume and custom herringbone wall panels to carefully curated material palettes that create depth without excess. Every element was crafted to feel intentional, elegant, and enduring. This renovation was envisioned for modern family living while maintaining a sense of openness, serenity, and architectural sophistication.
The brief asked for stillness - a home that felt held together by light, material and proportion rather than ornament. The plan was redrawn around sightlines, sun paths and the daily routines of the family.
Material Palette
Walnut
Hand-finished American walnut, oil sealed.
Travertine
Roman travertine in honed and unfilled.
Brass
Antiqued brass for inlays and hardware.
Linen & Bouclé
Natural linen and undyed bouclé textiles.
Spatial Experience
The home unfolds as a sequence of quiet moments: the arrival, the soft-lit hallway, the long living wall in walnut, the dining table that catches the late afternoon sun.
Lighting is layered - never single-source - to keep the space soft after dusk. Custom joinery hides storage so surfaces stay calm.
