Exterior Architecture Palette
Exterior language
The building sports an edgy and minimalist composition of crisp horizontal and vertical lines. The holistic building renders a terracing profile of cubular compartments that are accentuated aesthetically with aluminium exoskeletons. The cubes themselves frame a patterned choreography or vertical teak wood louvres that exhibit a veil-like effect, with the purpose to conceal. In imitation of ‘jaalis’ of old vernacular houses of the region, but furnished within a contemporary language.
Interior Palette
Interior language
The interior palette is a congregation of cold neutrals and warm wood textures, spruced up with fresh tropical greens. The neutrals manifest polished concrete floors and cement finished/white plastered walls. Artistic introductions of earthy wooden tones and bright accents of furniture upholstery, peps up the spaces with a refreshing touch.
