The daughter’s room has a vintage design. A soft wine and white colour scheme paired with roses, motifs and ornate wall hung lamp gives this room the old-world charm and yet retains a fresh and contemporary feel. Watch out for the elaborate use of mirrors accentuating the illusion of space! The grand-daughter’s bedroom transports you to a different world altogether, just perfect for the little girl of the house. Treated in soft hued accents of pinks and blues along with a chessboard floor, there is a fairy-tale like quality to this room. The chequered flooring brings movement to the otherwise static space. In line with the theme of the rest of the house, this bathroom, too, is an extension of the bedroom; adorned with butterflies on the wall and pink accessories, the aura is all floral and feminine. Finally, we enter the most coveted space of the house - a mesmerising terrace garden amidst the urban jungle. With a view of the eastern harbour and the juxtaposition of vertical greens against the black edged granite, this cosy ‘nature nook’ of the house instils an earthy sense of calmness and stability. Despite the multiple colour schemes used, KNS architects manage to create a homogenous flow with the clever use of materials, textures and patterns. So, while every person gets a unique space, the penthouse comes together as an abode in complete harmony. sahiba@knsarchitects.com kns@knsarchitects.com
