Designed to be both inviting and sophisticated, the apartment seamlessly integrates earthy materials, soft textiles, and handcrafted details to create an environment that feels both contemporary and timeless.

Aesthetic Vision

Rooted in a neutral palette with a rich interplay of textures, the design brings together organic materials such as wood, stone, and woven elements. The space is layered with artisanal details, adding depth and character. From the carefully selected decor accents to the bespoke furniture, every element has been chosen to enhance a sense of comfort and understated luxury.

Living Room: A Dialogue Between Raw and Refined

The living room is an embodiment of thoughtful craftsmanship and functional design. A sculptural black-stone coffee table anchors the space, contrasting beautifully with the soft cream-toned sofas. The textiles—handwoven cushions and throws—infuse a tactile richness, while the custom wood-paneling with marble inlay adds a touch of architectural elegance. Subtle lighting enhances the ambiance, with soft, warm glows from sculptural glass votives and wooden candle holders.

On the walls, woven rattan art pieces and geometric textile hangings contribute to the handcrafted narrative of the space, emphasizing a connection to traditional craft while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic. The partition screen with cane and black metal detailing offers a delicate balance of privacy and openness, reinforcing the theme of airy, natural sophistication.

Lighting and Mood: A Play of Shadows and Warmth

A stunning capiz shell chandelier in the dining space casts a soft glow, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. Wooden ceiling details add further warmth, complementing the natural hues throughout the apartment. The evening shots of the space capture this transition beautifully, where flickering candlelight and accent lighting transform the space into an intimate retreat.

The Cohesive Design Language

Throughout the apartment, the theme of natural tactility continues. Wooden elements in various finishes—light oak, warm teak, and deep-stained ebony—blend seamlessly, while the interplay of linen and woven textures brings softness. The neutral color scheme serves as a canvas, allowing the depth of textures and craftsmanship to take center stage.

Apartment 902 is not just a residence; it is an experience—an exploration of light, materiality, and form that reflects a modern yet rooted approach to interior design.

Master Bedroom: A Sanctuary of Opulence and Organic Allure

The master bedroom is a sanctuary where opulence intertwines with organic allure, seamlessly blending contemporary aesthetics with an Indian soul. An earthy pink slate wall, a refined ash wood bed resting on a matte grey stone floor, and subtle brass accents together craft an ambiance of understated luxury, deeply rooted in nature’s elements. Every detail in this space is meticulously curated to evoke tranquility, creating an experience that is both visually captivating and soulfully enriching.

At the heart of the room, an exquisite oak wood bed stands adorned with an inviting array of cushions in earthy hues, embroidered with intricate mirror work, specially customized by Morii. These handcrafted textiles infuse the space with artisanal charm, adding layers of warmth and cultural richness. The bed is flanked by delicate hanging lamps—art pieces in themselves—crafted from strings of cowries and shells, thoughtfully commissioned from Dhaaga. As they sway gently, casting soft, flickering light, they evoke the imagery of beachside bonfires, bringing a soothing coastal rhythm into the bedroom’s atmosphere.

The backdrop to this serene retreat is the back wall, a mesmerizing expanse of rust-orange and dusty pink stone that exudes warmth and earthy charm, reminiscent of an Indian sunset. Its organic texture and shifting hues create a living canvas that transforms with the play of light, further deepening the room’s poetic essence.

A three-part folding dressing mirror enhances the sense of space, artfully capturing and reflecting the room’s varied textures, tones, and materials. This thoughtful addition introduces depth and dimension, offering shifting perspectives of the room’s aesthetic from different angles—an ever-evolving visual experience that celebrates the interplay of materials and light.

The room’s wardrobe, seamlessly integrated into the design, features cane shutters in an earthy pink and rust palette, their woven texture adding another layer of craftsmanship and tactility. These elements, paired with the grounding presence of the matte grey stone floor, create a harmonious dialogue between tradition and modernity, refinement and rawness.

Every detail in this bedroom is a tribute to timeless beauty, where moments of rest transform into immersive experiences of serenity. It is not just a sleeping space—it is an invitation to tranquility, a retreat that engages the senses, and a testament to the artistry of thoughtful design.
