6x18 Slender House
Overview
Slender House is a private residential project designed for a family of five, nestled within a small and slender site measuring 6 meters by 18 meters. The vision for this home was to create a space that not only stood out within its locality but also contributed to the cityscape. The architects aimed to craft a dwelling that felt intimately connected to the family's life while prioritizing thoughtful design over expansive square footage.
Design Concept
The core concept driving Slender House was to punctuate the house with staggered cut-outs and strategically placed skylights. Despite the modest footprint, these design elements breathe life into the home, infusing it with light, air, and a sense of openness. The architects embraced the idea of sacrificing total floor area to create a space that resonated deeply with the client's lifestyle.
At the heart of Slender House is the desire to foster connections among family members. Each cut-out and skylight serves dual purpose, not just illuminating the space but also creating moments of interaction. Whether it's a shared glance from one floor to another or a beam of sunlight gently streaming into a common area, these architectural features forge bonds within the home.
Planning
The stilt floor
It is dedicated primarily to parking, ensuring a clear demarcation between the bustle of the outside world and the tranquility that lies within.
Ground Floor
The space part of an open floor plan concept, where the kitchen, dining room, and living room and informal sitting area flow into one another. This creates a sense of spaciousness and allows for interaction between people in different areas.
A unique feature of this space is a sculptural element in the central area, crafted from wood. This bench is not just decorative, but also serves a functional purpose as informal seating. Its form creates a distinctive shape that adds visual interest.
The leather finish granite wall features geometric curves flowing vertically , creating a dynamic and visually interesting surface. This luxurious material is further highlighted by cove lighting, which casts a soft glow and accentuates the overall design. This wall has a 13feet by 9 ft painting that reflects the story of the family.
First floor
The first floor is designed according to the Needs of the father of the client having a bedroom, kitchen and a puja space for moments of reflection and prayer. This area is designed in style using minimal materials such as texture paint. The balcony placed in the front is strategically wider for him to sit and relax .
The cutout has been created next to the staircase and another cutout opens on the other side and between these cutouts is a corridor that connects the rear and front part of the house.
We have designed this area in way that there is a Railing in double height connects the two floors having vertical pattern.
Second Floor
The second floor is tailored according to needs of the 2 daughters who are both design students .The two rooms are placed on the front and rear part of the house connected by a similar corridor as on the floor above but here the corridor shifts towards the staircase creating an interesting space.
Their room have big glazings that connect them to the interior spaces.
The daughters wanted their space to have individually within the collective space so to design their space we have used brighter colours and wallpapers from Nilaya that reflect their vibrant taste while the overall design is on the lines of the central concept. The ceilings of each room have been designed uniquely so the they compliment the overall form of the room.
Third floor
This floor is for the client and his wife. The Master bedroom has been placed in the front and has been connected through a glass corridor space . To add to the character of the space is the light that falls from the skylight above .
This bedroom has an overall neutral color scheme, with light walls and light-colored furniture and ample light coming from the glazing . This creates a clean and airy feel to the space. Smaller details such as the rug has been custom designed adds texture to the room. The wall has minimalist photograph selected to add personality to the space.
The area adjacent to the bed includes an upward linear pattern rounded at the end made using stone with the backdrop of wood that adds warmth to the space These elements add a touch of luxury and sophistication to the space providing visual interest. The core design concept also extends to the toilets in continuity. From the hanging wall light to the mirror, each element has been designed to complement each other.
Combining a modern aesthetic with the religious family's needs the elaborate puja room present at rear North East direction has been designed in Clean lines and geometric shapes using serene colours and patterns. Both green and blue used are cool colors, which are known to have a calming effect. We have used them together with patterns to create a peaceful atmosphere.
Next to this room is the study .
The planter is another key element in the house. Its strategic placement peeking through the central cutout, creatins a visual connection between the balcony and the living space inside the house. The planter, filled with greenery, adds a touch of life and color to the space.
In embracing the philosophy of "less is more," Slender House emerges as a beacon of passive sustainability. The deliberate placement of cut-outs ensures cross ventilation, allowing fresh breezes to weave through the house naturally. Skylights not only invite sunlight to dance across the surfaces but also reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day.
Despite its slender profile, Slender House makes a bold statement within the urban landscape. It stands as a testament to the notion that size does not dictate impact. By focusing on tailored spaces that enhance daily living, this home exemplifies a new wave of design philosophy—one that values quality over quantity.
Conclusion
Slender House is more than just a residence; it's a thoughtful exploration of how a small footprint can lead to grand possibilities. From the play of light and shadow within its walls to the gentle flow of air that whispers through its corridors, every aspect is meticulously crafted to enrich the lives of its inhabitants. As a home that is both humble and remarkable, Slender House tries to set a new standard for urban living, where the essence of family life is cherished above all else.

Agrocel House Corporate Interior
Harmonizing Tradition and Innovation:
A Corporate Office Interior @ Bhuj, Kachchh.
A corporate office interior is not just a workspace; it's a reflection of a company's ethos, culture, and values. In this write-up, we explore a design that seamlessly blends Indian tradition with futuristic parametric designs, prioritizes functionality and sustainability, and creates a friendly, inviting, and warm atmosphere.
Embracing Indian Tradition
At the heart of this design is a celebration of Indian tradition. We have collaborated with local artisans and craftsmen to infuse the office space with a rich tapestry of Indian artistry. Intricate woodwork, handwoven textiles, and traditional art pieces adorn the interiors, evoking a deep sense of heritage. The use of locally sourced materials and craftsmanship not only adds authenticity to the space but also supports local communities.
Parametric Designs for a Futuristic Outlook
In juxtaposition to the traditional elements, we introduce parametric designs that symbolize the company's forward-thinking approach. Parametric design principles create a sense of fluidity, incorporating cutting-edge technology and modern aesthetics. These designs, such as dynamic lighting installations and innovative furniture, represent the company's commitment to innovation and adaptability.
Functional Space Planning
The layout of the office is meticulously planned to maximize functionality. Ergonomic workstations, collaborative spaces, and private meeting rooms are strategically placed to optimize workflow and team interaction. Open office areas are designed with adaptable furniture, allowing employees to configure their workspaces according to their needs, promoting flexibility and productivity.
Sustainability and Social Responsibility
Sustainability is not just a buzzword but a core principle of this design. The materials used are eco-friendly and energy-efficient, reducing the office's environmental footprint. Additionally, the office incorporates features like rainwater harvesting, solar panels, and waste recycling, aligning with the company's commitment to social responsibility. The use of local artisans also supports sustainable practices and empowers local communities.
Friendly, Inviting, and Warm Atmosphere
A corporate office should be more than a sterile workspace; it should be a second home for employees. The design creates a warm and inviting ambiance through comfortable seating, soft color palettes, and natural lighting. Lounge areas with lush greenery and art installations foster a sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. The cafeteria and recreational spaces encourage social interaction and relaxation, promoting a sense of camaraderie among employees.
In conclusion, this corporate office interior design strikes a harmonious balance between tradition and innovation, functionality, and sustainability. It represents the company's commitment to its Indian roots and a vision for a dynamic and sustainable future. As employees’ step into this space, they are greeted with the warmth of tradition and the promise of innovation, making it more than just an office but a place where they can thrive, create, and grow.

Beyond Design Architect's HQ
The studio is envisioned as a calm dynamic workspace, where every design move is deeply rooted in intuition and intention. Anchored by a unique capsule-shaped conference room near the entrance, the space gently orchestrates transition between the formal and informal zones, setting a collaborative tone from the outset. The south-facing area is intentionally reserved for interactive functions like the material library and meeting rooms to harness daylight while protecting focused workspaces from glare and heat. Tucked away behind the central meeting room, a secluded breakout area offers a quiet, comfortable retreat. The open office is carefully balanced and structured to support concentration, yet open enough to encourage spontaneous dialogue. Zoning subtly defines areas for deep work and shared energy. This area enjoys abundant natural light throughout the day and transitions to soft, indirect illumination by evening. A hybrid cooling system paired with ceiling fans enhances thermal comfort and energy efficiency. The design reflects a holistic approach, which is responsive, restrained and deeply human. It is not just about how we work, but how we feel while working.
Being our own office, we have experimented with -
1. Light fittings in open office - deigned by us and specially manufactured for us - 100 % uplight - hence no downlighting and no glare. The other advantage - the fittings act as a canvas for textographics !!
2. CO2 monitoring coupled with demand control ventilation for better indoor air quality
3. Best of the class chairs for human comfort
4. planning based on sun path thereby minimising heat gain
5. HVAC augmented with modular ceiling fans making sure that we maintain 26 deg temperature saving 15% energy
natural mosaic flooring, forbo carpet, customised light fittings in open office, acoustical wall paper are some of the products that enhance the aesthetics coupled with functionality of the space

Club Med - Turkey Headquarters
The design and implementation of the interior design project for the Turkey Headquarters of the international tourism company Club Med, in Nişantaşı, Istanbul, on one of the city's most prestigious and busy streets, was carried out by Yalın Tasarım Mimarlık in 2024. The office project, which has a closed area of 180 m2 and a capacity of 20 people, required progress without any structural revision during the design and implementation process, since it is located in a historical building. During the interior design phase, focusing on Club Med's corporate identity, open and closed office areas and a compact sales area visited by customers were planned within the boundaries of the existing building. The design language was designed to create a modern, warm and inviting office. Minimal and timeless details were brought together with the vibrant colors of the tourism company and warm-toned wooden areas. Illuminated "green wall" and "media wall" designs were also designed to increase the visibility of the office, which is located on one of the busiest and most prestigious streets of Istanbul. A coffee corner serving the open office was designed dynamically with vibrant yellow tones. A multi-purpose meeting room, which can be used as a "work station" by the international teams of Club Med, an international company, during their office visits, was designed by taking acoustic measures.
The interior design process was completed in 4 months and the implementation process was completed in 2.5 months with maximum efficiency and was completed in time for the season opening of the tourism company.

Quintonil
The Space Behind the Flavor
Designing one of the world’s best restaurants requires far more than aesthetic choices , it demands a deep understanding of the human experience. At Quintonil, every spatial gesture was conceived as part of a sensory choreography that supports, elevates, and frames the culinary vision of Jorge Vallejo.
For us, interior design is an extension of a project’s soul. The way light enters and moves through the space, the textures that invite touch, the proportions that encourage conversation or introspection , nothing is accidental. Because designing a restaurant of this caliber means sculpting an experience that begins at the threshold and lives on in memory.
As the saying goes, “how you do anything is how you do everything.” At Quintonil, every line, every surface, and every moment of spatial silence is executed with the same mastery and intention as each dish. Design doesn’t sit in the background ,it enhances the flavor, reveals it, and makes it unforgettable.
The materiality of the project was chosen to celebrate and honor Mexican design. The walls are finished in chukum, a natural lime-based stucco from the Yucatán region that offers both warmth and texture. Handwoven palm tapestries — crafted exclusively for the space by skilled artisans , bring movement and softness to the vertical planes. The furniture was developed in collaboration with La Metropolitana, one of Mexico’s leading design studios, whose pieces echo the elegance of simplicity and masterful joinery.
Textiles throughout the space were meticulously selected to reflect the essence of Mexico: earthy tones, artisanal weaves, and subtle detailing that connects the guest to place and memory. Every object in the room , from the upholstery to the lighting , participates in a quiet dialogue with the cuisine. This is a restaurant that doesn’t need to shout: its power lies in the clarity of its voice and the harmony of its presence.
