As I stepped into Sankrithi, the dream home of Shivakumar, an entrepreneur in Bengaluru, I was struck by the feeling of space, light and positivity all around. Tucked away in the lanes of Basavangudi, a laidback suburb and an erstwhile vegetarian Brahmin stronghold, the house is a breath of fresh air in the cluster of nondescript structures surrounding it.
Young designer Sandeep Paranjape has meticulously planned the house down to the last detail. It flaunts decor which is a fusion of aesthetics and cutting-edge technology. Built on a sprawling 4,700 square feet, the independent house is a three-storied structure, created with style, minimalism and warmth thanks to Paranjape’s inimitable style and choice of materials in tune with the family’s preferences.
It is interesting to see the complete involvement, personal commitment and enthusiasm of Shivakumar and his wife, Geetha, in making their dream home a reality. Escorting us around the house, Shivakumar says, “The name of the house, Sankrithi, was suggested by my daughter, Niriksha. The house is the result of my wife’s immense creative disposition, meticulous planning, styling, keen attention to detail and personal supervision.” She kept giving feedback while the house was being constructed, explained Shivakumar. Niriksha is studying medicine but keeps herself updated on design trends and the creative facets of a good home. Her trendy room with brightly done interiors, colourful upholstery and bedspreads reflects her vibrant personality and cheerful nature.
