In the heart of Pune, ONE Habitat Studio redefines compact living with Experiment 101—a 3BHK home that merges architectural clarity with emotional warmth. This residential apartment, designed for a family of four, was transformed from a raw builder-grade flat into a serene, detail-rich sanctuary that reflects the client’s values of simplicity, fluidity, and comfort.

Rather than accepting conventional layouts and finishes, the design team—led by architects Yash Shah and Anuja Sawarkar—took a holistic approach, opting for civil modifications that maximized openness, enhanced daylight, and improved flow between spaces. The studio’s design ethos is rooted in creating personalized habitats where nature and humans connect, and this home is a manifestation of that principle.

Soft pastel tones and earthy materials—like micro-topped seamless flooring and stucco-finished walls—set the stage for a calming atmosphere. Custom-designed furniture, hand-painted artwork, and layered textures introduce individuality and soul to each corner.

The public zone of the house includes a warm, inviting living and dining area centered around a bespoke quartz dining table, while the kitchen stands out with its subtle blue palette and fluted glass detailing. Bedrooms are tailored to the family’s multi-generational needs: the guest room channels classic simplicity, the master bedroom embraces tropical inspiration, and the kids’ room brings vibrancy without losing composure.

From hidden storage to spatial fluidity, every decision is grounded in thoughtful design. The home’s aesthetic is minimalist yet expressive—an approach that reflects ONE Habitat Studio’s growing reputation for crafting functionally rich and emotionally resonant spaces.

Founded in 2019, ONE Habitat Studio is a young, award-winning architecture and interior design firm based in Pune. Known for their narrative-driven design and site-specific responses, the studio has been gaining national recognition for residential, hospitality, and adaptive reuse projects that are personal, human-centric, and rooted in context.

This home doesn’t just optimize space—it celebrates it. Experiment 101 is a masterclass in turning constraints into creative possibilities and offers a roadmap for meaningful modern living in urban India.
