Located in Surat, the client approached us to craft a 2400 sq ft. 5 BHK Bungalow with a modernist appearance topped with luxury and comfort. Our vision was to give distinct look to each corner and room of the house keeping in mind its utility. In order to balance the monochrome with wood tone, the furniture was chosen to be made of teak wood, which offers relaxation via soft beige and white hue.
