A masterclass in bold materiality and seamless design, this 3,000-sqft residence is an embodiment of effortless opulence. By fearlessly juxtaposing diverse materials, patterns and textures, P.S. Design Studio has created a home that feels both richly layered and elegantly restrained – an expression of contemporary luxury with a distinct personality.
Living & Dining: A symphony of materials
Every wall and element in this apartment speaks to the designers’ out-of-the-box vision. The living and dining area, an exquisite orchestration of textures, is centered around a stunning resin-and-brass wall paneling by Scarlet Splendour. This seamless feature not only elevates the space but cleverly conceals the kitchen, powder room, and bar.
The flooring, a bespoke inlay of three different marbles, adds a dynamic energy that extends into the corridor. Overhead, a wooden-clad ceiling brings warmth and depth, creating a grounding effect. On the opposite end, a striking partition of glass, brass and wood subtly divides the living space from the intimate den, where a hand-painted Phillip Jeffries wallpaper extends onto the ceiling, crafting a cozy retreat. When the family entertains, this partition can be opened to integrate the den into the main living area.
The designers opted for sculptural yet understated furniture to balance the interplay of patterns. A sumptuous, curved sofa follows the concave form of the window, fostering an inviting ambiance. Meanwhile, the dining table’s textured stone top and the upholstered chairs add layers of tactile richness thus creating a visually compelling space that remains harmonious and welcoming.
Master Bedroom: Subtle drama & sculptural elegance
In the master bedroom, the challenge lay in creating a bold yet non-overpowering aesthetic. A structural column, initially seen as an obstacle, was transformed into a statement feature. Clad in wooden strips that extend across the ceiling, it forms a dramatic yet refined focal point.
The bed’s backdrop features fabric paneling with vertical brass inlays, elongating the space and enhancing its perceived height. The colour palette remains muted, with soft blues and greys setting a serene tone, further accentuated by a striking artwork by Rashmi Tyagi.
The master bathroom takes a more dramatic turn with a monochromatic scheme. Veined Arabesque marble, paired with deep black stone, creates an impactful contrast, while fluted marble detailing introduces a sense of movement. Layers of texture make the space striking yet cohesive.
Daughter’s Bedroom: Playful pastels & smart spatial design
Designed for a five-year-old with a love for pink, the daughter’s bedroom embraces a soft pastel palette while maintaining sophistication. A gentle pink hue is balanced with light wood veneers, accented by soft yellows and blues. Despite its compact size, the room is intelligently planned to include a bunk bed with an upper-level play area, a slide, a study nook, and ample storage.
A clever architectural intervention maximised the space: an underutilised corridor, restricted by Vaastu guidelines, was seamlessly integrated into the bedroom using a movable wall, adding four extra feet to create a dedicated play zone. This structural adjustment not only expanded the room but also introduced natural light into the previously dark corridor.
In the en-suite bathroom, pastel tones continue in the vanity area, while black-and-white Kit Kat tiles create a bold contrast, adding a playful yet chic dimension to the space.
Guest Bedroom: Understated luxe
The guest bedroom exudes layered sophistication through a thoughtful mix of materials. Handmade raffia wallpaper serves as a textured backdrop, while a custom brass jaali element – custom designed to integrate a switchboard – adds a refined touch. The bed echoes the wallpaper’s soft tonal variations, enhancing the sense of cohesion.
In the bathroom, a single-colour scheme is energised by an intricate interplay of textures. Blue tiles contrast against a crisp white basin, while wood-toned elements – such as a subtle ceiling detail – bring warmth. The result is a space that is simultaneously quirky and elegant.
Kitchen: Minimalist functionality with character
The kitchen, an Ernestomeda design from FCML, embraces a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Kit Kat tiles line the backsplash, while a sophisticated peacock blue upper cabinetry contrasts beautifully with wood-finished lower cabinets. The result is a space that is both stylish and highly functional.
By masterfully playing with materials, textures and spatial dynamics, P.S. Design Studio has created a home that is visually arresting yet harmoniously balanced. Every detail, from the inlay flooring to the sculptural ceilings, has been meticulously crafted to reflect the family’s desire for a space that is distinctive, elegant and alive.
