What was the brief? It was a 25 years old building with built up area of 750 sft and a mature style of design. Basically the client’s wanted a major change to their space but with a really constricted budget.
What were the key challenges? Majorly with the kitchen. There were challenges in styling the base units (as you can see in the before pictures, they just had theseopen structures for storage). Keeping them as is and giving them a modular styled kitchen was of course challenging.
What materials did you choose and why? Considering the age of the building, we added a few arch elements into our design as the arched structures symbolize the strength and support technically. Our color palette was a combination of bright and light colors (as the space already had quite a few colors in it). We have tried pulling out colors from one space to another to make the eye flow of an individual understanding.
