As you enter, there is a striking mirror panelling on the right side. On the opposite, is a beautiful artwork of Shrinathji, by Smitamoksh. The clients are big believers in Srinathji and wanted it to be an integral part of the space itself. The floor is a pure white marble with black marble inlay strips having a directional pattern leading one into the corridor. The archways define the circulation of the space, and dark ash and black inlay panelling defines the arches.
The play in the house is due to the wall texture that is mostly in white. An oak Chevron linear panelling on the wall is designed which leads you further into the living space. Each of these areas are defined by a very strong ash black wooden arch juxtaposed with the Chevron panels.
Light filters in throughout the house all times and there is the sense of green which gives a very calm and at the same time a luxurious feeling. The highlighting factor in the space is a beautiful white mist marble which has been fluted as the entire backdrop.
The living and dining spaces are kept airy as well as fluid in a manner that people can move around. There is a small study which opens up again into public space from the living room area which is a place for anyone from the family. From the living room there is an ash black door which leads you into the guest room.
The master bedroom is essentially a pure white space. The highlight of this room is a beautiful green amazonite marble which forms the backdrop with hints of brass. This space is high on the idea of a green tropical theme for all the furnishings.
The daughter’s room, again, is a white space. Light grey wardrobes and an oak framed bed which is inserted within. The entire space is clad in white paneling and the furnishings have hints of rust. A beautiful teak mirror with brass elements adorns the space.
A beautiful black wood poster bed acts as highlight here along with a cane chair. This poster bed is in the shell with concrete wall on all sides. The ash black veneer becomes a continuous theme in the space, & in every area and aspect of the house. A splash of colour in the form of Indian textiles, cushion covers and furnishing add vibrancy. The dining space is flanked by a black metal unit, which is inserted into the black ash veneer wall to display curios and also acts as the dining console. Overall, the space is very
clean and minimalistic.
The circulation of the entire house is very unclear, which turned out to be challenging while designing. Hence, a lot of panelling was done to disguise spaces.
The low height was overcome by designing arches which made the spaces look higher. However, certain areas had to be dropped down to take care of services. With a strict timeline and working with furniture that was available at hand, the entire design was well managed and executed to deliver a space that fit client’s requirement along with design innovation of the team.
Overall a lot of marble is used and a neutral colour scheme with natural elements and a play of wall textures mostly in white.
