The exterior of the house is painted in a warm “kaav” color, setting the tone for a welcoming atmosphere. However, the most striking contrast can be found in the staircase area.
The staircase railing is painted in a vibrant red hue, which beautifully complements the royal blue shade adorning the wall behind it. This bold choice of colors adds a dash of creativity and personality to the home’s interior.
Small punctures in the staircase wall, sealed with terracotta tiles, add a touch of intricate detailing, enhancing the artistic character of the home.

The interplay of shadows on the terrace, changing with the cadence of the day, creates a mesmerizing dance of light and dark.
