As one steps into the house, the living room greets visitors as the first encountering space. It embraces simplicity with a muted colour palette of soft whites and gentle greys with highlights of wooden finishes introducing warmth into the space complemented by the natural light from the double-height window that fills the room. The furnishings are unpretentious, characterised by minimalist designs and clean lines, creating a serene and inviting ambience.
Situated beneath the staircase soffit, a sleek piano resides in a minimalist setting. Plush seating and a curated collection of books and artefacts form an inviting reading nook, illuminated by soft, diffused lighting, offering a tranquil retreat.
A narrow datum gracefully connects various parts of the house, with some sense of privacy being introduced artisanally with a seamless ledge wall with captivating MS details which separate the spaces.
The dining area with immaculate wooden finishes complemented by the brown leather chairs of the dining table cast by warm light introduced by the eccentric chandelier and the seamless integration of the outdoors brings a new dimension and attention pleasing the eyes and inviting unimaginable gatherings.
The kitchen adheres to the minimalistic colour palette of whites and greys, featuring streamlined cabinetry and high-quality finishes accompanied by the floating wooden bar making the space light and bright with the emphasis on the highlights all made pleasant by the blissful rays provided by the skylight
The master bedroom continues to adhere to the minimalist theme, featuring subtle wood accents and a carefully curated collection of art and decor that reflects the homeowners’ tastes and interests, minimal decor acts as a canvas for the highlights and artefacts.
