A Palette of Kaav and Contrasts:

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.

First Floor Oasis:

Ascending to the first floor, a family room awaits, offering a bird’s-eye view of the living room below.

This vantage point creates a dynamic connection between the various living spaces, fostering a sense of unity and openness.

The first floor also houses another master bedroom and a guest bedroom, providing private sanctuaries for the inhabitants.

Terrace Retreat:

A charming terrace beckons beyond, promising moments of tranquility and breathtaking views. The terrace is a haven of relaxation, featuring a carefully crafted sitting area adorned with a pergola of terracotta tiles. The interplay of shadows on the terrace, changing with the cadence of the day, creates a mesmerizing dance of light and dark.
