A small Bungalow, called the “Sunshine Bungalow”, in Pune before and after the renovation – some comparative picture before and after.
The owner didn’t want to change the yellow wall-colours, because even if the sun doesn’t shine outside, the whole house always appears like being bathed in sunlight! Therefore it is called “The Sunshine Bungalow”
The Kitchen
Before: The dining table was placed under a beam - not a good place to sit and the table was divided into two parts energetically.
After: The kitchen was quite spacy, but a lot of space was unused; therefore we build a partition to create an extra (bed)room and still give the kitchen enough space for cooking comfortably and dining with up to 5 people. Now all seats are out of the suppressed energy zone under the beam.
Before: The Kitchen appears quite cluttered as you can see all what was places under the platform. The black colour of the platform gave too much contrast to the yellow walls.
After: All storage is hidden behind curtains. Instead of shutters we used curtains here in order to create softer waves in contrast to the otherwise straight lines of the kitchen.
Before: Although the crockery is placed neatly, the whole shelf-area appears untidy and unorganized
After: Tailor-made shelves in the niches spread much more unity and harmony, although the crockery is still openly exposed
