A favourite place for the grandparents to spend their evening chatting with the neighbours while having a cup of tea. Tucked away on the ground floor, the parents’ room is thoughtfully designed for ease of access and relaxation.
Additionally, the room’s docile theme creates a soothing atmosphere, perfectly complemented by the natural beauty of the cane-weaved solid wooden bed.

The door leads you to the transitional staircase, taking you to the balmy and warm living space on the first floor.
The huge openings on the northern façade allow ample diffused light, illuminating the seamless Kota stone floor.
Additionally, the wooden false ceiling panels are very astutely used so as to retain the original grandness of the spaces. Moreover, the blues and greys beautifully complement the wooden elements.
Adjacent to the living area is the open kitchen with an extended breakfast table and a 6-seater pristine Italian top dining table.
The daughter’s room is done in a beige finish with custom-designed solid wooden furniture and pink accents complementing the warm theme.
Occupying the central core of the second floor, the master bedroom is a serene sanctuary that exudes tranquillity and sophistication. Additionally, the room’s neutral palette, featuring soothing blues and greys, creates a calming atmosphere. Meanwhile, the detailed wooden edges add warmth and texture.
The master bed sits thoughtfully before a unique imprinted patterned gray wall, while a cozy reading nook takes shape with a corner inlay, creating an inviting rug-like seating area.
The second-floor terrace boasts a dramatic double-height space, culminating in an expansive balcony that wraps around the room. Additionally, the exposed brick wall provides a striking backdrop for the vibrant yellow accent chairs and intricate Jaisalmer inlay in the floor. Thus, adding a burst of energy and color into the space.
