The Formal Living
Looking out into green is so natural that we kept the furniture to minimum. Elements like a large Horse lamp to give that scale to this space. The Black leather finished sofa with wooden frame and two leather clad designer chair from TREASURE, China. In the distance a solid wood cabinet with embossed pattern of a mountain landscape is unique piece of furniture from MORE LESS, China. The rug with a contemporary patterns mixed is from “Hands’. The flooring is wooden finish tiles to get the warm and home feel.

All this with a lush green view makes so natural and calm in appearance.Lighting is kept to minimum with track to highlight the
partition and hanging above dining and kitchen island in simple form.

but thoughtfully designed passage. On wall is a insect painting

main element of this toilet. with natural light filtering from top and
giving soft glow throughout the toilet. The natural indoor plants are
planted in large concrete pots. Expecting it to grow thick over the years
and create a screen in the bathroom. The mirror reflects a small window at other end of toilet. A wooden ladder custom made to take care of basic space for accesories in toilet.
