The house has one common floor in stone running through the entry - kitchen - dining and living . However , the master bedroom
( PAGE 63 ) had a different natural stone that follows through into the bath and walk-in closet .
The bar lights ( ON LEFT ) are some of the interesting pieces in the house designed by Purple Backyard . To add zing to the vast space , we needed something in the ceiling to also centre the space - thus came about a series of chandeliers in the barer shell manner to keep in line with narrative of this house .
The guest room ( PAGE 63 ) has a slight retro vibe to it , with the candy terrazzo floor from Bharat flooring . The beautiful mirrors finished in a grey chic bring a touch of glamour in this room . The bath for guest continues the cement tones with a pretty butter lemon colour wallpaper customised by Purple Backyard .
The house , overall , has been kept in muted tones , the plaster walls is a mellow contrast to the lacquered doors and the transitional manicured furniture .

The installation behind the dining ( ABOVE LEFT ) is inspired by the 12 months and four seasons and how the moon and sun create the changes in the season . Through the day it is a wall that blends in and creates a subtle background . When bar is revealed it is quite a dramatic change of things - with the birds of paradise inspired cladding inside it completely amplified the space and makes for a very charming setting . architecture & design magazine
