Elements of nature like light, breeze, grass, plants are juxtaposed with the interior spaces giving a fresh and rejuvenating environment. One of the highlights of this project is the artwork on the wall of living room which pushes us to think why a picture should always be contained within a frame. The other highlight is rethinking the idea of a devotional wall. The efficient use of transitional spaces and interplay of interiors and exteriors makes this house one of its kind. Conceptualising a neoteric personality of client and charismatic personality of his wife, we have tried to merge nature with interiors along with some newfangled artwork and latest sustainable services.
A grand entry opens into a passage that instantly makes you feel welcome and warm. This passage leads you into the central open dining-living area with one highlight wall with Ganesha art work.
The other highlight is the living room wall with mural around blank canvas. The living area further opens into the balcony.
The living room also acts as the central courtyard with one side that connects to a central lobby, which further connects to Study room.
The master bedroom further has a walk-in wardrobe connected to master washroom. The other side of living area connects to Dining area, kitchen and passages leading to Guest Bedroom, common washroom and Personal Gym. All rooms further open into balconies.
