Setting
the mood for a purposeful luxurious living with a personal touch is a
two-bedroom show flat in suburban Mumbai…
Designed
by Ar. Obaid Hakim of Obaid Hakim Architects (OHA), the interiors of this show flat have a balanced focus on the functionality of spaces and on how best they reflect the personality
of its residents.
Working
towards culling out a deeper, more meaningful aesthetic quotient, OHA uses clean lines to define
the contemporary nature of the home. Colours, textures and ancillary elements draw the attention of the buyers
to the
functionality-driven layout.

Hues
like gold and umber contrast directly with a hint of silver and grey; with wood as the predominant functional and
decorative element; and texture, mostly observed as linear patterns running horizontally and vertically, create a
soothing, plush
mood across 916 sq ft.

Openness
accentuates space as doors between the living and dining and the dining and
kitchen are eliminated. In fact, large fenestrations in each room steal the show. These floor-to-ceiling
windows are the main elements that bring the luxurious factor into the space,
besides allowing ventilation and natural daylight.

Meanwhile,
lighting is
designed to enhance the functions of the space as well as for visual appeal. While recessed spotlights and
tasteful lamps brighten the room for conversations and functionality (reading,
watching TV or eating), accent lighting through floor spots and track lighting
enhance the texture and details of the rooms.

Complimenting
the layout and planning, is the uncluttered appeal of the apartment, with no
room for
unnecessary elements and facilitating free movement for the residents and the guests.

As
a sample apartment blueprinting the typology of a well-designed 2-BHK, OHA
presents a well-balanced mix of modern elements without compromising on the
warmth that is inherent to ‘home and hearth’
