SITHLOU’S RESIDENCE

Project Details:

Type of project: Interior design

Location: Guwahati, Assam

Sithlou’s residence is also one of my freelance projects. In this project I mainly focused on the interior design aspect since it is a renovation/extension type project. The main challenge was to analyze the column placements and accordingly design the interiors for the extension.

The following pages shows the final output of the design which includes working drawings, isometric views and the interior design mood board which has been used as a part of the design ideation process.

During the initial site visit, different views from the site were taken to analyze the different preferable views possible from the already constructed building.

NORTH EASTERN SIDE VIEW

Good view of the mountains can be seen from this angle

NORTH EASTERN SIDE VIEW 2

The already constructed steel staircase faces the less preferable site. This can be used for placing non habitable spaces like the staircase and store rooms

SOUTHERN VIEW

This is the best view the site offers and since it is south facing. It can have overhangs shading a glazed facade.

ROOF

Tin roof sheets with timber trusses and Aluminium bolts

FALSE CEILING

Aluminium frames and gypsum boards (4 x 8) ft.

UPPER LEVEL

3 Bedrooms with attached bathroom each + terrace + utility room

LOWER LEVEL

Living room + Patio + TV room + Toilet + Kitchen + 1 Guest bedroom

EXISTING STRUCTURE

The site consists of an already existing G+1 structure

This mood board exhibits a minimalist + modern setting with shades of cream white, semi dark grey, wooden brown, and tropical green. This gives off a cool aura for the interiors which can subsequently provide a cooler environment in the predominantly hot Guwahati climate.
