Ecoden 9B is a 3Bedroom apartment
for a young
family
of four. The apartment boasts an L-shaped
single unit of commonarea with a
giant balcony, a
spacious kitchen with open work area and store room. The unit hasthree
good-sized bedrooms
out of which two have attached dressing rooms and balconies. It also has a modest
servant’s room with toilet.
The
interior design requirements from the clients were to design a modern,
colourful and sophisticated space emphasizing the spaciousness of the unit.
They required a place to relax after their hectic work schedules; one being a
doctor and the other an IT professional. The bedrooms were to be the cosiest
for them to retire after their respective shifts, the kids’ room to be playful
and fun. Both were to be equipped with study areas. The architects were able to
deliver a design with colours and tones to match the clients’ expectations,
considering the flow of functions that may occur as one moves around.
As one enters the living
room through the foyer the focus is captured by the Yellow Accent wall. The
natural light from the balcony reflects off the accent wall washing the whole
room with warmth creating a cozy atmosphere. The bright yellow is balanced with
Grey walls.
The pop of colours from the
rugs and pillows creates a sense of playfulness adding to a charming first
impression.
The accent wall seamlessly becomes a display shelf partitioning
the family and dining/kitchen spaces. It visually connects both the spaces
while allowing the dining area to enjoy its privacy. The wall between the
kitchen and dining was knocked down and replaced with a breakfast counter to
create a single volume of space. The common areas have free flowing movement
throughout.
The kitchen is accented in refreshing blue tones along with white,
continuing the playful and bold usage of colors. The terrazzo wall tiles
complement the blue cabinets. The neutral backdrop and furniture allow the
colors to shine. The dining area and the wash areacarry a neutral
color palette. The
wallpaper pattern breaks the monotony in the dining area and the same wallpaper
is reflected on the other side of the room to emphasize the TV unit panel
and bridge both the spaces.
The master bedroom explores edgy sophistication with its curvy lines and
glossy finishes. The Polyurethane
coated glossy white surfaces are contrasted with dark wood shaded WPC wall
panels. The groove
detail in the panel
and the parametric lighting pattern along the headboard, decorated with brass
accessories give a sleek finish to the room.
The kids room is shared by two young girls.Meeting
their growing demands of the space becomes the core of the design. The focus of the
room is the floral inspired recessed wall light feature, which
illuminates the room in a soft glow. A colorful
palette of teal,
maroon and orange is adopted for the furniture in a fun grid pattern. Storage
is maximized and bedside tables are replaced by a long seater for its dual
function.
