The entrance is adorned with solid 60mm thick leather-finish Indian black granite verticals, resembling stately candles that guide one toward the main door. The juxtaposition of sandblasted Indian white marble as a backdrop for the illuminated “candles” infuses an element of elegance and sophistication, enhancing the overall design aesthetics.
The boundary wall, adorned in shades of grey and white, imparts a timeless quality to the design. The incorporation of a matte black finish on the MS details introduces a striking contrast, enhancing the overall visual appeal. The lofty MS gates not only contribute to privacy for the ‘C’-shaped glass room but also feature 12mm slits, offering a sleek and subtle detailing that elevates the overall surface aesthetic.
In the formal living area on the ground floor, a remarkable 8-foot diameter brass light fixture steals the spotlight. Adorned with meticulously crafted crystals, it gracefully hangs from the ceiling, serving as a captivating work of art. The crystals, intricately designed, refract the light, casting a mesmerizing pattern of glimmers and shadows that permeate the space. The overall effect creates an atmosphere of refined opulence, adding a touch of grandeur to the formal room.
The flooring pattern draws inspiration from the intricate interplay of warp and weft threads in handloom weaving. Introducing a modern touch, the industrial metal pergola enhances the space’s contemporary aesthetic. In contrast, the terrazzo flooring exudes a more organic and textured quality, instilling a warm and traditional ambiance.
The dining area on the ground floor is distinguished by strategically positioned expansive windows and floor-to-ceiling glass panels that artfully frame views of the surrounding landscape. This design choice not only invites an abundance of daylight into the interior but also showcases the thoughtful integration of architectural details. These soaring spaces are carefully crafted to exemplify the seamless fusion of contemporary aesthetics with Indian sensibilities.
In the first-floor lounge, the intentional arrangement of double-height spaces ensures that the entire house is bathed in ample natural light throughout the day. Soft, opulent luxury and minimalistic mouldings contribute to an atmosphere of refined elegance. The careful placement of double-height areas within the residence is orchestrated to not only maximize natural light but also enhance the overall sense of grandeur.
In the first-floor master suite, a meticulous equilibrium is upheld between openness and intimacy, blending elements of minimalism with touches of opulence.
Every space within the residence is thoughtfully curated to embody a distinctive environment, radiating its own character and charm. Whether it’s the serene bedroom retreats, the vibrant dining area, or the tranquil study, each corner is crafted to offer a unique and inviting experience.
