Striking symmetry
The home opens up into a capacious living area. It is visually symmetrical with a cane seat inspired by MUAR Design at the center. The generously sized olive-green sofa and a single chair, upholstered in mute printed fabric, create its mirror image on the opposite side. The round coffee table in the center has been characterized by a unique detail that encloses the stone-top amidst the legs, while the light furnishings emphasize an intricately coloured rug. A sliding glass door behind the cane seat parlays into a balcony flooding the space with natural light while granting a scenic view of tall Ashoka trees.
This space is furnished with Sarita Handa cushions and an oriental rug crafted in Mcleod Ganj that has been a time-honored souvenir in the homeowner’s family. The two opposite walls adorned by family inheritance crack the symmetry of the space.
A nuanced dance of classic and contemporary
The dining space is an apt addition to this living area. The Suar tropical wood garnered from Bombay is assembled into an ideal tabletop with glass in the center. The chairs upholstered in fabric by Cottons and Satins imitate the colors of the rug. The contrast in the space is supplemented by the cyan bar unit that stands out without overpowering the space.
The dining extends into a smaller TV room divided with a glass partition that seamlessly unites the common areas. This minimal space narrates the design ideology of the entire house. The black console unit acknowledges modernity, while the classic cane shutters portray the abundance of history.
Soothing shades for mellow moods
The large, clutter-free master bedroom is muted and mellow. The calmness of the space is conveyed by the long headboard, encapsulated in the textures of ashwood. This fluid virtue is layered by circular elements persistent in handles and artworks. The skylight assists in illuminating this well-proportioned room. To juxtapose the inherited nature of the space, hints of red disperse around.
Blue splits this space in two
The overwhelming scale of this family-rooted, cross-stitched artwork is addressed by snapping the walls in two prominent colors – eggshell white and blue. Rightly called the Half-and-Half room, the space intends on capturing the soul of the artwork. The refurbished furniture retains the teak wood of the headboard while enumerating blue-colored furniture around it. The washroom is encompassed in blue handmade Spanish tiles complemented by an Armani-Brown Italian stone slab.
Subtle cohesive design is the name of the game
The guest bedroom is steeped in subtle details, molding, natural and muted tones, making it a warm and welcoming space. The bed is refurbished to build a cane-woven headboard with side tables to match. Curios, like a striped rug, add an essence of modernity. Two adjacent balconies accommodate large amounts of green into the space.
This apartment flawlessly reflects the personalities, family histories, and design approaches of the creative minds who inhabit it.
