Tactile Diary

A 3,500 sq.ft. villa in Bengaluru, envisioned for a South Indian couple seeking to experience their home through touch as much as sight. The design weaves warm ethnic nuances into rustic modernity, guided by materials that lead with texture. Teak-finished wood, woven cane, curated prints, and surkhi-infused lime plaster create a layered, earthy palette. Leather-finish Kota flooring, rattan details, patchwork upholstery, and handcrafted jute dhurries add depth and continuity. Through soft curves and tactile transitions, the home unfolds as an intimate narrative—rooted in tradition, yet distinctly contemporary.
