The approach to the project was such that there was proper ventilation and the location of the plot has aided us a lot with that as the plot was facing a 18m wide eastern road and was backed up with a 7.5m internal road. That also accompanied a proper cross ventilation.
The house was managed with removal of cubes from a whole cuboid also the facade was treated with unwhite shades to define all the cuboids differently.
When we talk about the interiors, we tried maintaining a warm vibe to repel the love within the family and give the whole project a warm closure.
The material palette was extremely limited with the floor having two shades of Italian marble, teak wood, concrete panels sorely trying to highlight elements with the same Italian marble contrasting the furniture, lastly the finishes were either textured or matt finished undoubtedly enhancing the sense of touch and interaction.
