Bending and blending boundaries

-

– Husna Rahaman conceptual­ised this space, intended to be an inner sanctum where one’s physical and spiritual self finds the liberty to be uncloaked. Warm shades of caramel and mocha characteri­se the floor and bath, while waves of beaten copper adorn the ceiling and bring out the theme of flight. The Antilia vessel lends allure with its smoky oceanic depths

While many house proud individual­s love their homes to draw upon the past, there are a few others willing to undergo large scale renovation to capture the look of the future. This is the next generation of style, aptly called the Futuristic interior style. This style sees new materials, techniques and assemblies, and takes the idea of organic or deconstruc­ted forms and shapes beyond their basic languages to create something newer, fresher and filled with hope. The easiest “nature” inspired future design uses curves and organic shapes to blend and create seamless space. Space can be fragmented into shards and angles, separating and deconstruc­ting functional and visual services. Sweeps to shards, play up tension between design languages to create something completely different. It could be a visually explosive ceiling against a minimalist dining

QQor a living arrangemen­t where seating and surface dissolve one-into-other. How to get the style right and what are the characteri­stics of futurist homes:

There is a greater emphasis on metallic finishes and angular lines. Brass sinks, metallic copper lights and multiple medium that bring out the artistic design are the key concepts. of the future will be the answer to today’s urban sprawl, the scarcity of living spaces in our cities and rising price levels of houses. These designs would make small spaces bigger and more liveable. It will create a singular large multifunct­ional space that doubles up as the home office, lounge area etc. There will no formal living room or even bedrooms. Eatin kitchens will become trendier.

QA future perfect home will be connected, smart, savvy and modify as per the needs.

QThis home will be a self-maturing, and an evolving ecosystem that would generate its own electricit­y through alternativ­e means such as solar or wind. It would recycle waste and reuse water. The futuristic homes will care for the health of the humans and environmen­t. Sylishly comfortabl­e, it will endorse ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’.
