A royal set of table and chairs placed in the corner with a purpose to spend time with the trees, winds and skies elevates its beauty even more. To complement the contemporary décor and keep the royal essence alive, the jali windows and the box doors were chosen.
When it is all lavish, why the bathroom should be left untouched? The bathroom is entirely based on minimalism. The flooring is made of blue vitrified tiles with elegant tile art on it with the somber bathroom faucet.
