Sachin Agshikar opts for an uncluttered and sophisticated look in this sample flat for the Ahmedabad-based Gala Group. The Gala Group was looking for a fresh approach, something that would be a deviation from the usual style of interiors prevalent in Ahmedabad. The grey of the exposed concrete ceiling contrasts nicely with the white marble floor and the white walls. While most of the walls in the house have been painted white, an occasional grey or brown wall along with the reddish veneer of the doors and furniture adds some interesting accents to the colour palette. Light is an important player in the ambience of the flat. A lot of indirect lighting was employed to make the apartment more interesting. The clients wanted to highlight the ‘wow’ factor. This has been achieved by using dramatic lamps, mirrors and other accessories. Black and gold wallpaper on one of the walls in the living room and brown wood-finish wallpaper in the den has also been used to the same effect. What resulted was a sophisticated and minimalist house that would appeal to anyone looking for a home.
