Studio Lagom

House Of Memories A home shaped by memory. A film shaped by feeling. House of Memories is more than a residence—it’s a quiet dialogue between the past and present, told through reclaimed materials, crafted details, and lived-in rhythms. In Valsad, Gujarat, the House of Memories by Studio Lagom beautifully intertwines architecture with daily life. Filmed over four days, this project captures the heartfelt reality of its residents, showcasing their daily routines and deep connections within the home. The exposed brickwork and charming courtyard, featuring a well where the grandfather enjoys his daily shave, highlight how true home is built on generational bonds and love. The warmth of the occupants made this project truly special. Watch as architecture softens into emotion, and space becomes a story.

THE HOUSE OF MEMORIES, VALSAD ~ Where past and present are woven into everyday living Set on a 9000 sq.ft. plot in Valsad, The House of Memories by Studio Lagom replaces a 22-room ancestral home while preserving its essence through material reuse and spatial continuity. Designed as a load-bearing structure, the house is organized around a verdant courtyard with a lotus pond and an existing well—reframing memory as a central architectural element. The program is arranged in a C-shaped plan, balancing a residence and workspace while ensuring privacy through landscaped buffers and a perforated “dancing brick wall.” The ground floor accommodates living, dining, kitchen, temple, and bedrooms, while the upper level houses private suites and a family lounge. Large louvered openings, skylights, and layered courts create a strong inside-outside relationship, allowing every space to engage with greenery, light, and air. Barrier-free planning ensures accessibility, responding to the needs of ageing family members while maintaining spatial fluidity. Materiality is honest and narrative-driven—exposed brick, Kota stone, reclaimed teak, and concrete define the palette. Elements from the old home are carefully integrated: wooden shutters, staircase treads, furniture, and artefacts reappear in new forms, blending nostalgia with contemporary living. Sustainable strategies such as rainwater harvesting, solar energy, and reuse of materials further reinforce the project’s ethos. More than a residence, the house becomes a living archive—where architecture holds memory, adapts to change, and evolves with its inhabitants.

House of memories A project by Studio Lagom The House of Memories in Valsad, designed by Studio Lagom, merges modernity with tradition on a 165’ x 55’ plot. Replacing a 40-year-old residence, the new home addresses issues of accessibility and maintenance while celebrating the family’s heritage. Built with a load-bearing structure of exposed brick, the design highlights a central well and combines old elements with new ones, including salvaged wood and antique furniture. The residence features a workspace with a concrete-bordered facade and a carved wooden door leading to a lush courtyard with a lotus pond. Interior spaces include a living room, temple, dining area, kitchen, and bedrooms, with an emphasis on indoor-outdoor flow. The home incorporates sustainability with solar energy and rainwater harvesting. A notable feature is the 'dancing brick wall,' which balances privacy with ventilation. The House of Memories stands as a functional, elegant blend of past and present. @studio_lagom Credits Author(s): Krishna Kapadia @krishna_kapadia Madhavi Gumasana @madhavi.gumasana_art Sweta Doriwala @swetadoriwala Hardik Shah @hardik_shah_ V.K Furniture @v.k.furniture Mortar Construction @mortar_rameshwar Year: 2025 Typology: House Location: Valsad, India Landscape: studio roots @studio_roots_india Hemali Landscape Studio @hemali_landscape_studio Interior Decoration: Samir Wadekar @sam_wade11 Videography: Sohaib Ilyas @iamsohaibilyas Ph. credits: Ishi Sitwala @ishifishy

A-LIST ASIA | A HOME IN VALSAD BY STUDIO LAGOM Dalla selezione Elle Deco International A-List | @elledecointernational C’era una volta un bungalow. Si trovava a Valsad, nella parte occidentale dell’India, in una regione nota per i paesaggi verdi e le lagune di loto. Era stato costruito nel 1939 e a distanza di quasi quarant’anni, nel 1976, il suo proprietario, ormai anziano, decise di venderlo. Dobbiamo risalire fino a quell’anno per rintracciare l’inizio di una storia fatta di promesse e ricordi o meglio, come recita un principio della comunità Parsi, di “buoni pensieri, buone parole, buone azioni”. Firmato da Studio Lagom di Hardik Shah il progetto è incentrato sulla realizzazione di una nuova costruzione in grado di rispondere alle esigenze di una famiglia multi-generazionale in evoluzione. ✍ Continua a leggere tutto l’articolo di @pik65 - link in bio 📷 @ishifishy 📐@studio_lagom #ElleDecoInternationalA-list #interiordesign #interiordesigner
