Brown and Beiges
The clean, visible lines of the spacious apartment designed by Ashok Sharma Architects draw one's attention immediately. The 3,600 sq-ft apartment is a noteworthy example of a well-sought balance between warmth and design. Upon entering, the minimalist touch of the design can be experienced in the living area. The living space is exciting and opulent with its contemporary furniture, including a circular centre table that breaks the monotony of straight lines.
On the right side of the vestibule is the formal seating space, which is placed tactically in the Indian context for welcoming guests. The feature wall of raw travertino stone with the fireplace catches the eye. The stone is not polished to exhibit its veracious form. The seating area is in light beige colour, creating a warm atmosphere. Highlighting the space is the marble top center table and a pastel-coloured chandelier on a walnut brown wooden ceiling.
The dining area is placed next to the kitchen and open to the living area, making the entire lobby area look palatial. The area is highlighted with a contemporary chandelier and art pieces. The chairs of the dining table have an art-deco vibe. The subtle palette of browns and beiges in this space is soothing to the eye. The art piece on the wall adds character to the space. The kitchen is very modern with a central workstation made of granite top.
The master bedroom is at the end of the passage, followed by the daughter’s bedroom and the guest bedroom. The master bedroom expresses warmth and grandeur with a statement designer bed. The washroom is designed as a luxurious space, keeping the palette of browns and beiges intact. The daughter’s bedroom is elementary, with an additional seating space for reading and relaxing. The washroom features a mosaic feature wall with a jacuzzi. The guest bedroom is kept cosy and unadorned.
The entire apartment has an ultra-contemporary yet minimalist look. The palette of browns and beiges is the highlight of the apartment design, hence the name – the house of browns and beiges.
