PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The layout of the apartment was not changed and retained to its original 4 BHK layout. The design started off considering the base marble supplied by developers which is beige. Building over this palette we decided to use white, grey, blue, silver, steel and mirror as our main colors and materials. The client wanted an eclectic fusion of modern and classical design. The living room layout was done keeping in mind the large windows available at the site. It created a pocket area of seating facing the sea with a sculptural light piece coming in the corner and framing the view towards the sea. A backlit alabaster wall was created to create mood lighting within the space. The son’s bedroom door was camouflaged with wallpaper paneling of the living room. The son’s room is kept modern using 3D molded MDF panels and a palette of white, blue and grey.
The dining room is created by a wooden screen where one can keep artefacts and on the other side it abuts a transparent glass partition looking into the kitchen. The main kitchen is kept white with a long island counter. The prep kitchen abuts the main kitchen at the rear side. A long linear corridor leading towards the master bedroom had many doors which lead to various rooms. This entire corridor us camouflaged with mirrors to reduce the number of elements in the corridor. This helps in highlighting master bedroom door which is done in blue leatherite. The master bedroom has a large walk-in-wardrobe and hence colors like peach and aqua green were added to the base palette of white and grey.
The daughter wanted a warmer color scheme. Hence a beige smoked teaked veneer was chosen. The daughter’s room has an artistic tree mural which forms the central focus element in her space.
The guest bedroom is kept on semi-classical line using maroon and green based on the brief given by the client.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The total area is 3,800 sq.ft.
