designed for a retired couple, nani house embraces ageing rituals with slow living warmth
- Designboom reports that Nani House is a private Indian residence crafted as a sanctuary for a retiring couple.
- The project prioritizes slow living, comfort, and accessibility over spectacle.
- Architects dissolved traditional room hierarchies to create seamless indoor‑outdoor transitions.
- Materials like stone, timber, and linen form a restrained palette that ages gracefully.
- Large openings and diffused daylight frame the surrounding garden as a living artwork.
- Circulation is generous and step-free to ensure accessibility without compromising aesthetics.
- The garden extends into the house, softening thresholds and linking daily life with nature.
- Shilpi Sonar and Satyadeep lead a design studio focused on memory, usability, and sustainability.
- The design aims to age with grace, using ergonomic furniture and long-lasting materials.
- Interior details emphasize memory through worn artefacts, books, and collected objects.
