In the interconnected circulation, the front door leads you to the
secretarial corridor with the director’s space on the left. Another door
reveals a lounge for entertaining with a verandah and exquisite furniture
inspired by East-Indian crafts. Between the two wings of the bungalow is
an art gallery, lending not just an artistic connection but structural stability
with a semicircular arch that becomes a repeating motif throughout the
space, be it in the modern frames in the director’s office or the applique
that highlights the existing brickwork over the doorways. From the rope
furniture (“Hairy chairs” as she calls them) and Burma teak elements to the
choice of artwork, down to the switchboards, every object balances the
old and new with a wistful nostalgia making the space, much like the city,
evade the clutches of conformity — imbuing the contemporaneity with the elan of Bangaliana.

In the quiet canopied bylanes, Calcutta hides
charming old bungalows that have seen its myriad moods filtering through the wooden louvred windows. Not stuck in the past, but rooted in its heritage, Kolkata (or Calcutta) revels in the delightful contradictions,
ever confounding the crosshairs of chronology. It is, therefore, not
surprising that in The Den at Lansdowne, Pooja Bihani, the Principal
Architect of Spaces and Design embeds this essence of the city into every corner of the approximately 2,000 sq ft restored Bangali bari.
In the brief, the owner requested a contemporary space for him to
work as well as entertain. Then why preserve the older layer? “The site
demanded it,” she stresses, “it called for retrofit, for restoration. I did not
want to give up on the facade.” The resulting space is an alluring balance
between the two. Walking through the space, you notice one room leading to another, a characteristic typical of a colonial-era home.

There’s so much more to the living room, thanks to Pooja’s signature style of layering materials.

A bronze- gold staircase, with an antique finish, makes a bold statement against a wall covered in Italian marble, boasting a leather finish. Beyond just adding glamour, this staircase also represents a strong structure that triumphed over tough challenges. “We had to break and rebuild the wall it’s anchored to, for the desired.

Housed underneath this sculptural staircase is another bespoke element - the bar counter tailor made to customised needs and finished in a special riversand finish!!

The living room is an expansive double-height space that gener- ously stretches to include a cascading 19-feet-high waterfall. Functioning as the beating heart of the home, this waterfall transforms the atmosphere as it flows over a staggered, stone-finish backdrop, infusing the space with a sense of fluid tranquillity. “As the clients enter- tain a lot, they expressed a desire for striking design features on a substantial scale. We mutually agreed on this large waterfall in the middle of the home, which, in turn, inspired the home’s name, Fountainhead”, recalls Pooja.

outcome”, shares Pooja. Another highlight that adds an extra dimension to the space, is the large installation by artist Bandana Jain. Crafted from multiple corru- gated sheets featuring a wave-like pattern, the sculpture resembles a gracefully hanging drape on the wall. An inventive detail, born out of a beam obstacle, lends an additional aesthetic layer to the double-height windows in the living room. Asymmetrical vertical slates, finished in textured white ash were introduced to function as grills. These slats create a dynamic play of natural light and shadow, during the day on the furniture

Every nook and corner of this home is packed with custom and characterful details, each revealing a unique story yet echoing one another - a collection of ever-present curiosity and unending wonder.

Pooja Bihani, the founder of Spaces and Design, champions bespoke living in this Kolkata home through material diversity and maximising volume.
So, when she was approached to design a home in the same building, for Ritika and Vivek Goyal, their two boys and their furry companion , it felt like familiar territory. “We are first-generation entrepre- neurs and wanted the space to reflect our love for travel and our taste for finer things - embracing the luxury of space with asymmetrical, abstract, and organic elements,” expresses the young couple. The design narrative of this 6,000 sq ft duplex apartment stands witness to the collaboration between the designer and homeowner, resulting in a space brimming with dramatic moments and statement design.

Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2024, ‘Peach Fuzz,’ has divided the internet, but this soothing hue is a winner at this community center in Kolkata. What’s important is that we perceived it well ahead of time, six months ago!
Three generations and forty-five members from five families collaborated to refurbish an existing common condominium into a shared recreational haven in Kolkata, designed for leisure, entertainment, fitness, and congregation. Pooja Bihani from Spaces and Design played a pivotal role in bringing this dream to fruition.

In addition to the dominance of Peach Fuzz and arches, mosaic inlays and metal furniture with a spectrum finish add vibrancy. Light ash wood is considerately chosen to dance with the peach, maintaining its brightness and peachiness. Terrazzo tiles uplift the overall decor, and the intentionally light and fluid furnishings sprawl the space. The predominant use of peach combined with a myriad of carefully selected textures makes the space welcoming, rejuvenating by fostering a sense of community
