Living Room
The living room became a space with the minimum furniture and mostly the kind that can be moved around easily.
The light cream sofa paired with Aztec print, armchairs are from Gulmohar Lane and coffee table and center table are from Iqrup+Ritz compliments the beautiful spotless white Ambaji marble flooring in combination with solid teak wood table with dark polish on the top looks very elegant and serene. The white ambaji flooring generates lots of positivity in the house.
Terrace
The terrace is oriented in east-to-west direction towards the living room, the east space lets in the morning light. Flooring takes the centre stage here, the terrace has a unique articulated flooring pattern evolved using white Ambaji marble with black Kadapa stone, installed in a chevron pattern.
The flooring pattern is complemented by the exposed brick walls and with a standing counter which is finished using a rough solid teak wood slab top supported with a thin metal powder coated plate. The armchairs and centre table (terrace furniture) are from Lavish line.
Dining
The dining room in the home gives a homely vibe. The sturdy table is made from Baroda green marble top and teak wood legs (custom designed by us) and the dining chairs have a nice ochre upholstered seat with a wicker back which complements the Baroda green tabletop.
Kitchen
The kitchen continues the same language as the rest of the house. The muted light color palette of ivory with teak wood on the shutters and white Ambaji flooring, with a sliding partition made from teak wood and flute glass facing towards the dining space, grabs the attention.
The Guest bedroom
The utilization of a light color palette of ivory has been adopted throughout the house including the guest bedroom.
The wardrobes are given a minimalistic touch of teak wood and veneer on the other side of the plain off-white bedding and side table and headboard also customized by the team.

The library
Relaxation, tranquility and escape are what the material palette brings in the small library lounge at our project. The cantilevered study table desk with the white brick patterned wall, combined with wooden veneer blinds enhances the space.
While using the mixture of soft textiles and hard materials to create a textured neutral palette with subtle accents of color, enriching a sense of layering. The armchair and the ottoman are customized by the design team.
The Family lounge
In small spaces, however, the challenge is to add textures and color without it being too overwhelming. So the firm kept the palette warm with solid teak wood flooring and teak veneer console paired with light olive green sofas customized by us and a round table center table finish in teak veneer. The family lounge is in the upper level followed by a staircase railing designed and customized by the team, and is finished in brass while the stairs are finished in solid teak wood.

This unique combination of colors, textures and architectural elements seamlessly blend into the fabric and patterns, while reconfiguring the spaces to facilitate both contemporary lifestyle and expression of a minimalist outlook.
