A closer look at the interiors of the Chandigarh home of architect Noor Dasmesh Singh
Brass detailing, Indian Kota stone, eclectic furniture and personal objects make up the vibrant palette of this earthy-toned home in India
Architects’ houses have long been a topic of intrigue, and architect Noor Dasmesh Singh’s house on the periphery of the modernist urban plan of Chandigarh is no different. The founder and principal of NOOR Architects Consultants has created a personal haven tailored to his lifestyle, his zeal for crafted details, and the furniture he has collected over his lifetime.
Despite its sensible appearance, maintaining the original architectural form was in fact integral to his plan – all of the exterior openings were preserved to maintain the gratifying exposed brickwork jamb of the house. The removal of a few inner walls, allowed the space to become more open plan. There is a sense of flow from entrance hall, to living room then dining room flow, and subtle interior additions such as a fluted glass and metal screen, or a moon pendant hung between the ceiling vaults, work to delineate the space.The architect’s aesthetic for the house was formed through a ‘a confluence of styles, personal impressions and influences,’ he explains.
