Chikoowadi

Chikoowadi

  • Ahmedabad
  • By: Studio Dreamscape Architects
  • Principal Designer: Suketu Shah, Aashna Desai

Chikoowadi in Ahmedabad derives its name from a sapodilla (chikoo) farm where it’s located. The nine existing chikoo trees became the starting point of the design of a home for six, where every window overlooks chikoo trees. Dreamscape Architects chose a natural colour palette – exposed concrete walls on the exteriors, black oxide flooring and white walls in the interiors. The home with its meandering space, water-bodies, courtyards, gardens, and a cantilevered staircase is a sensorial treat.

Chikoowadi, inspired by natural elements

Finished in the colour of the chikoo fruit, the exterior is protected by Asian Paints Ultima Protek that prevents dampness, algae and cracks. Exposed concrete walls on the exteriors and black oxide flooring complement features like water-bodies, courtyards and the lush gardens.

The bedrooms take a slightly different route from the rustic finishes. Here, the décor leans towards refinement. The interior wallpaper from the Asian Paints Nilaya collection stands pretty against the black-oxide flooring and solid white ceilings.

While the home takes cues from traditional courtyards and uses rustic finishes in its public areas, the private areas like the bedrooms are resplendent with colours owing to the interior wallpaper from the Asian Paints Nilaya collection.

The minimally embellished house finds an accompanist in straight lines etched in metal. The composition of concrete finishing against the wood and glass bar-table with the metal barstools is perhaps a visual melody in its own accord!

The architects consciously chose to highlight the trees and greenery in the semi-open areas. The exposed concrete finishing adds a subtle hint of texture and contrast while the dark floors underline the rustic composition to perfection.
