Urban Cave by Studio Integrate

The brief was to transform a 3BHK apartment into a home that addressed all the day-to-day, practical needs of the client. The design vocabulary is based on two parameters: one is more element-based and involves curved walls, rounded edges, etc, and the other is in terms of the colour scheme, where all the walls, floor, ceilings and furniture are finished in shades of concrete.

The key idea of this curvy, concrete apartment was to create a flow of materials and furniture through these diverse spaces which complement each other in a minimalistic manner and bring the space to life. In addition to a soft, peaceful colour palette, these materials contribute to the soothing, comforting ambiance.

A theme becomes clear as you enter the foyer. The entryway has a perforated storage unit finished in concrete. This mass of concrete extends to the living room to seamlessly transition into a TV unit. The furniture here includes a pastel blue sofa and a coffee table made in black concrete finish. The fabrics and wall surfaces are kept understated and elegant allowing the bold red artwork and warm indoor plants to be the immediate focal points and accents.
