The fundamental principles guided the design decisions was that the house be really private, not exposed to the street.
The long balconies on all floors brings the depth of keeping the spaces private. It brings in abundance of light, which creates an indoor comfort with natural plats.
The swing and furnishings in the balcony bring the family together to enjoy ‘the simple pleasures of life’.
The expression of subtle drama in the living room is created by the contoured ceiling from above and adhering against the raw concrete textured highlighting wall. The bright abstract painting balances out the coolness of grey concocting an impressive ambiance.
The grey sofa harmonizes with the raw grey texture placed next to the long French window. An abundance of natural light floods the space for both the ambience and the lush plants present there.
One cannot avoid how the vintage gramophone is styled against the grey textured wall, creating an intriguing East-meets-West style design.

The use of earthy tones through-out the living room, dining area and kitchen creates a specific rhythm. Thus, it ultimately creates a sense of movement.
Contrast is one of fundamental principles in the bedrooms, which ensures to be commendable. This principle is noticeable in the master bedroom through the use of pragmatic features such as linear planes, reflective panels, curved edges and contrast colors.
The curved edges create a sense of sculptural yet utilitarian furniture. The bold yet simple handles on the wardrobe fathom out the uniqueness of the design.
Also, the big round light in the bed’s backdrop balance out of the whole vertical planes in the design.
The round form of floral hand painting juxtaposed on the grey textured wall and blended with the headboard brings in the versatility which morph into exploring an alluring interplay of textures, colors and furnishings.
