This tranquil home for a close-knit family is centered around the ritualistic dining table. Spaces flow into each other creating a series of public, semi-private, and private areas, cleverly segregating guests from their inhabitants. The minimalist interior is dotted with experimented materials here and there: a cement textured wall with brass fillers, 3d printed brass partitions, copper mirrors, custom-made teak wood carved panels, soft leather upholstery, and handmade lighting features
This pitched roof dwelling has a modest facade with white and grey paint complementing the wooden cladding. The first entry point is the double-height living space with large windows framing the surrounding views. Located at the centre of the house is the spacious dining room that connects the kitchen, family living, and the staircase. The residence has a total of five bedrooms, two of them on the ground floor, and three on the first, each designed and placed as per the client's request. The highlight of the project is materiality. Cement texture walls with brass fillers and 3D printed brass partition walls inject surprise to otherwise minimalistic interiors. On the other hand, the bedrooms are more luxurious in terms of design with wooden wall panelling, copper mirrors, and leather furniture. As a result, the design created a robust yet tranquil living environment.
