Archdias Interior

Project Proposal

This interior design proposal, submitted for the Archdias competition, centers on the adaptive reuse of a nostalgic property in the holy city of Haridwar. Titled “The House I Told You About…”, the concept reimagines an ancestral home into a soulful modern retreat while preserving its emotional essence. The design strategy emphasizes minimal structural intervention—“Why break, let’s remake!”—celebrating textures of lime plaster, sandstone, exposed brick, and warm wooden tones.

Spaces are planned with a harmonious blend of old-world charm and contemporary simplicity, using contextual materials like limestone flooring, woven partitions, and weathered oak finishes. Each room narrates a story, combining functionality with sentiment through curated furniture, soft lighting, and earthy color palettes. By layering memories with modern utility, the project pays homage to vernacular Indian identity while offering a refined aesthetic experience, making it a standout submission in the competition’s brief for meaningful interior transformation.
