Residential Interior | A Square Designs | Kolkata
The clients contacted us through a dear friend. The clients are into exports and thus were well travelled. They wanted a modern home using very fine materials.
The apartment is 8000 Sq.Ft. Super built at Vivara at the EM Bypass in Kolkata. This part of the city had emerged as the new zone for luxe apartment towers and star hotels. We didn’t really make any civil changes. However, we ripped apart the flooring and the bathrooms completely and started working with a fresh slate.
Vivara has two wings. each wing has just one apartment on every floor, thus the feel from the lift lobby itself seems very private.
The main entrance leads us into a demarcated foyer area which mingles with the over-sized drawing room without any specific divider or screens. The beauty of these apartments are their large drawing and dining spaces connected with a long balcony running on the eastern side of the apartment. The views from this balcony are spectacular as it overlooks the lush green wetlands.
The drawing room has two separate seating areas and a bar towards the balcony. The white statuario marble had been used synonymously throughout the common areas.
The dining area on the right-hand side is again huge with a 10-seater dining table. The powder room and kitchen connect with the dining area. The kitchen is in greys and white. Powder Room boasts an impressive geometric pattern inlaid on the floor.
The drawing and dining further lead to an informal family room which is the entertainment zone with an AV system and a serene prayer room.
There are two bedrooms on each side of this informal family room. The two rooms on the right side are for the bachelor boys and on the left is the master bedroom and the guest room.
‘I work on a residential project keeping one thing in mind that the home will be successful if it’s pleasant to live in. I thoroughly enjoyed putting up the common spaces together. I feel they look really chic and very liveable. Being a daylight person, I feel this house looks stunning and pleasant with all the natural light coming in.’
The theme of Luxe Minimalism was accentuated by a few experimental décor ideas such as water colour Art for in the formal areas and use of illuminating yellow in tapestry.
Wood tones in dark walnut. Metal accents in mute brushed gold & gunmetal finish. To balance the bolder Colours: Blue, Grey & Chrome, burgundy is teamed with neutral hues.
