Rooted in Assamese culture, it reflects a desire to preserve not only cherished objects and traditions, but also the quiet rituals and simplicity of everyday living. Through acts of curation and remembrance, Hêpah becomes a home where memory and modernity coexist, each lending meaning to the other.
The living area acknowledges Assamese craft through traditional weaving punch cards, reassembled as an evolving composition that celebrates the region's handloom traditions. Alongside them, a side table carved from a single tree trunk anchors the space with a sense of permanence, while contemporary seating reflects the family's embrace of the present.
At the heart of the home, a salon-like gathering space evokes the familiarity of a traditional parlour; an informal setting where stories, objects, and memories naturally accumulate over time. A sleek wooden console displays travel mementoes, collected artefacts, and artworks created by the children, while a humble moda finds its place as a footrest, recalling the unassuming simplicity of everyday life.
The powder room introduces a playful yet deeply personal layer to the home. Framed Bharatanatyam mudras, reminiscent of childhood memories spent learning and performing the classical dance form, are set against a backdrop of terracotta tiles, as they frame the transient space.
The dining space is anchored by a solid wood dining table and alabaster lights, with framed artworks lending warmth to the setting. Nearby, a traditional bamboo dola sits comfortably alongside contemporary objects and family keepsakes, embodying the home's quiet balance between memory and modernity.
In the parents' bedroom, framed artworks created and collected by the family lend the space a sense of familiarity, while a traditional diwan is reinterpreted as a daybed. In the daughter's bedroom, a traditional Sepa fishing net is carefully framed as an artefact of cultural significance, reflecting a conscious effort to preserve and celebrate Assamese heritage within a contemporary setting. Throughout the residence, Hêpah becomes a vessel for memory and continuity. It revives the intimacy that modern living often erases.
