The existing four-bedroom apartment had an abundance of daylight and ventilation through huge fenestrations also enabling majestic views of the skyline due to its location on the seventeenth floor of the building. Hence, there was an enormous potential in the already well oriented, spacious, breezy and day lit house that made the design soar high in its value.
Living the coral hue
The design started with the scratch idea of using the PANTONE colour of the year 2019 ” Living Coral” as the starting point for the scheme. It is described by Pantone as an “animating and life-affirming coral hue with a golden undertone that energizes and enlivens with a softer edge“.
Golden orange for the win
This vibrant shade of golden orange is meant to reflect the “innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits” as a response to social media and digital technology. In reaction to the onslaught of digital technology and social media increasingly embedding into our daily life, there is a need to seek authentic and immersive experiences that enable connection and intimacy.
Surviving the underwaters
Hence the combination of blue and coral colours reflecting the underwater life were taken as the foremost brushes for this new canvas encompassing the soothing aura of nature to thrive in this minimalistic abode.
Undertones of the coral themes
Translating this concept into the interior envelope started with focusing on the first visible wall from the entrance to be immersed in the soothing coral theme and then designing the overall furniture around it in softer & curvaceous forms with tones of beige and red in combination for the Dining and Lounge area. Planters used as screens and artwork further complemented the need for calming the mind and creating a refuge for oneself. Light blue undertones would enhance the coral theme and balance the scheme in the form of strokes of water colour depicting the sky and water in the form of a huge artwork on the adjacent complementary wall.
Amalgamated hues of warmth
The Living Room is finished with an amalgamation of furniture in different shades of blue along with yellow hues on walls/paintings to enhance the warmth of the space as well as to create a vibrant atmosphere in the company of orange pendant lights. Acting in full support is an elegant wooden leaf shaped artwork along with a lotus flower shaped floor lamp in an attempt to bring in more adaptations of natural forms to have a positive psychological impact on human mind.
Perfectly harmonized for sleep
All the bedrooms are also in perfect harmony with wooden flooring, paired with colours like golden, blue, beige and white. The furniture design is carefully supple, smoothed, appealing to the eye with a sense of relief and contentment.
