Design Doodle Studio is a multidisciplinary design practice, run by husband-wife duo, Vijay and Maha. Vijay, the embodiment of dynamism and artistic flair, infuses each design with his boundless creativity and bold vision. He pushes the boundaries of convention, daring to explore new realms of possibility with every stroke of his pen to create spaces that inspire and delight.
Maha, on the other hand, brings a nuanced touch to their designs, weaving intricate details and meaningful narratives into every space. Her keen eye for aesthetics and storytelling adds depth and elevates their designs from the ordinary to the extraordinary, creating experiences that resonate on a deeply personal level. Share the duo, “At our studio, we are driven by the belief that design should evoke a meaningful connection with its users. Our vision is to infuse life into spaces that resonate with people’s emotions and touch their souls. Inspired by the beauty of nature, we embark on journeys to draw inspiration from the world around us, enriching our creative process. We pride ourselves on transcending conventional boundaries, channelling our creative energy to craft immersive experiences that combine emotional depth with comfort. Our ultimate goal is not only to meet our clients’ needs but to surpass them by weaving an enchanting tapestry of artistry and functionality that leaves a lasting impression.”
In this Marshmallow project, a modern fairy tale unfolds, tailored for adults yearning to lose themselves in the plush embrace of a giant marshmallow. Share Vijay and Maha, “As curious designers, we dare to transcend conventional boundaries, reimagining homes as vessels of emotion and sanctuary. We weave narratives inspired by our clients' personality and lifestyle, infusing each thread with the essence of their being. The client’s desire for a relaxing ambiance with a modern luxury twist set the tone for the project. Our canvas became a tapestry of free flowing curves bathed in marshmallow hues, choreographing a mesmerizing symphony that beckons you to surrender to its comforts.”
In this sanctuary, warmth intertwines seamlessly with elegance, each material and detail meticulously curated to evoke a cascade of emotions. Here, understated luxury finds harmony with earthy sensibilities, creating an ambiance that whispers of opulence yet remains rooted in authenticity. The project exemplifies the studio’s design ethos - minimalism, seamless curves, textured elements, and a penchant for arches. It celebrates simplicity and elegance while infusing every corner with character and charm.
From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by an ambiance that feels both familiar and enchanting. Plush fabrics, seamless surfaces, and subtle textures beckon, inviting you to indulge in a sense of comfort, reminiscent of a cozy marshmallow dipped in hot chocolate on a chilly winter night. The result is a space that not only delights the senses but also nourishes the soul.
The journey commences in a circular entrance lobby, guiding you to discover the apartment’s two distinct zones. To the left, a private sanctuary awaits, while the right unveils an entertainment haven. The layout, initially planned for four bedrooms, was reimagined to prioritize expansive spaces for the family, resulting in three generously sized bedrooms. A decision to prioritize expansive spaces results in a harmonious blend of luxury and comfort, setting the stage for an extraordinary living experience.
Throughout the home, the almost edible colour palette transports you to a world of serenity and sophistication, perfectly complementing the soft curves that grace every corner. Here, luxury is not just a concept but a feeling - an ethereal blend of comfort and thoughtful detailing. From the soft whispers of microcement floors to the exquisite allure of bespoke Venetian terrazzo inlays, every material was chosen with care, every element meticulously crafted to evoke a sense of warmth and comfort. As you bid adieu to Marshmallow, carry with you not just memories, but a sense of wonder and awe. For in this haven of elegance and grace, you’ve discovered more than just a home.
