What is the idea of a modernday apartment? A housing unit located in a high-rise residential tower, disconnected from the ground and other housing units. The design starts to develop with the thought of questioning and reimagining this disconnect from the ground, with the intention to create a space where the inside and outside boundaries are blurred, establishing a connection with the landscape.
Designed for a pair of young couples, the house uses a palette of white and brown that creates a controlled backdrop for the house. The white ceiling and flooring intend to make the space feel large.
Veneer-panelled walls guide one’s eye to the view outside. Green lime plaster is a metaphoric reflection of the distant green hills visible from the house. The apartment becomes a stenographic narrative that opens to a landscape, of a scale, such that it almost feels as if the apartment sits on the foothills of Pandavleni, serving as a backdrop to the house.
The journey through the house is a slow dance of textures, feelings and character. The custom-designed furniture and art pieces, almost offer the warmth of a storytelling environment while being a story in itself.
