painted artwork of Shrinathji hung on a feature
wall. However, the area behind the television
displays a decorative veneer panel along with
printed vitrified tiles. A pooja room was designed
right above the foyer and opposite to the steps
landing on the first floor. Devoid of ostentation, the
space reverberates with spirituality with extensive
latticework created out of wood and metal.
A clean look has been achieved in the master
bedroom with the focus element being the
mother-of-pearl inlay on the white stone wall.
Teak flooring and side panels create a
warm ambience.
A master bath and dressing area forms a part of the
master bedroom. Keeping true to the client’s
insistence for Indian spiritual motifs, the national
flower finds its way on the wall behind the bed.
These mother-of-pearl lotuses have been carved
on white stone while teak panels lay on both sides.
Then there is warmth and serenity with the rich
teak hard wood flooring. The Italian marble
bathroom has one side of the wall (behind the wash
basin) made of a single piece of hand-made tiles
showcasing a woven effect.
Colour has been used generously albeit with care
in the kids’ bedroom. Meant for a boy and a girl,
it features a black-and-white collage on canvas
with the children’s photographs.
