The designer Karan captures the cool essence of the project through juxtaposing artistic floral-colored paintings with the rawness of grey textured wall interiors.

The expression of subtle drama in the living room is created by the contoured ceiling from above and adhering against the raw concrete textured highlighting wall. The bright abstract painting balances out the coolness of grey concocting an impressive ambiance. The grey sofa harmonizes with the raw grey texture placed next to the long French window, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the space for both the ambience and the lush plants present there. One cannot avoid how the vintage gramophone is styled against the grey textured wall, creating an intriguing East-meets-West style design.

The visual movement on this open floor plan creates a feeling of expansiveness, providing communication between two spaces and deliver the convenience of interaction. As the eyes permeates along the room the viewer will be enthralled with the hand painted floral art adjacent to the metal detailed archway. The strategical use of earthy tones through-out the living room, dining area and kitchen combines it all together in a specific rhythm ultimately creating a sense of movement.

The fundamental principles guided the design decisions was that the house be really private, not exposed to the street. The long balconies on all floors brings the depth of keeping the spaces private and brings in abundance of light which creates an indoor comfort with natural plats. The swing and furnishings in the balcony bring the family together to enjoy ‘the simple pleasures of life’.

It’s a saying, “when the chemistry is right—it works harmoniously” this applies here for the contrast used in colors and forms used for the walls of staircase. Staircase leading to the other floors is articulated in harmony of light, textures, lines and colors.

This principle is followed in the master bedroom through the use of pragmatic features such as linear planes, reflective panels, curved edges and contrast colors, The oscillating feature of textured grey wall is again used here with the bold contrast of colors in bed and wardrobe. The curved edges creates a sense of sculptural yet utilitarian furniture and the bold yet

simple handles on the wardrobe fathom out the uniqueness of the design. Again, the big round light on the backdrop of the bed balance out of the whole vertical planes in the design.
