This seating area on the lower ground floor is set lower than the dining area which continues the flow of the space whilst separating it through the different level creating a sense of seclusion when needed . A glass partition between the dining area and this seating area also provides some privacy . The flooring design delineates the space from the marble clad flooring elsewhere on this level . The bespoke contemporary lighting adds a sculptural element to the ceiling which has bespoke geometric moulding applied to it . The joinery with inset lights provides niches for artwork , sculpture and books . A blend of contemporary and vintage furniture brings an appreciation for current and past design . The large glass sliding doors to the terrace and garden bring in an enormous amount of light and a sense of living outside whilst being sheltered inside .
The master bathroom is clad in Azul Boqueria marble with a large bath as a main feature . The architraves to the shower room and WC are sculpted from the same marble for a continuous look . The bathroom is spacious with ample natural light with other tones in the space from the taps and wall colour taken from the tones of the marble .
A flooring in the lower ground floor seating area shows the flooring detail next to a metal decorative grille custom design by Shalini Misra Ltd . AC and other modern amenities were integrated seamlessly into the design , here the grille is made into a feature with a beautiful perforated pattern and an antique brass finish .
The vanity units in the bathroom are custom made and inspired by a vintage design . The warm walnut contrasts with the Azul Boqueria marble . Hand-carved wooden framed mirrors complement the vanity units . A light delicate ceiling glass lamp shade contributes to the light airy feel of the space .
