This duplex in the heart of Bengaluru was designed for a young couple with a “work hard, play hard” lifestyle. The space is envisioned as a monolithic canvas with a brutalist edge to provide a backdrop for both entertaining as well as for more pensive times. A broad design move was to convert the walls `of the main living spaces into a single grey tone. Raw cement textured walls achieved in micro-concrete and flooring in crema marble, function as the perfect canvas to receive layers of carefully curated elements. Lighting plays a pivotal role in creating a sense of drama.
