A 3000 sq. ft. luxury Penthouse designed in 100 shades of monochrome greys, the clients did not really mind the spaces being darker as the 4000 sq. ft. penthouse was very well lit naturally, apart from having gorgeous views into a valley.
We decided to use the entire palette of Greys and only shades of grey in the entire apartment, with accents of silver. The challenge was to get the right shades of grey as they were everywhere, the floors, walls, ceilings, furniture, fabrics.
