Behind every residential project lies a story spun by a family that aspires to dwell in a house of their dreams. Architects are responsible for their dreams to be translated into reality. The family of four for whom Neesha and Shruti of N+S Architects created this quiet and comfortable home preferred a contemporary living style. To achieve the look they focused on simplicity, subtle sophistication, texture and clean lines. They paid close attention to color, space, and shape to achieve a sleek and fresh look. Keeping in mind the client’s requirements, they arrived at a suitable layout which would utilize space to the fullest without compromising the quality of open space. The 2,500 square foot, 4 bedroom apartment needed to be converted into a 3 bedroom apartment which allowed them to open up the living room to form a large square space flanked with a balcony on one side offering views of the city. The 3 bedrooms attached to one side of the square living room kept the private spaces huddled together. Neutrals, black, and white are the main colors used to define the interior with accents of bright and bold colour. The flooring used was a smooth cream marble that flowed through the house holding the palette together. With walls painted in a basic neutral colour, the client had a wonderful backdrop for bold colored art and accessories. The upholstered furniture carried neutral tones in textured natural fibers. The lighting around the house is a combination of indirect mellow light with ceiling spots to highlight art and wall surfaces.
