Perched on the 11th floor with sweeping views of the sea, Azzure Oceanic is FOAID Designs’ ode to serene, sophisticated living. Set in the coastal enclave of Santhome, just steps from Marina Beach, this 2,200 sq. ft. residence redefines urban apartment living with a distinct design voice—one that merges calming minimalism with a quiet sense of luxury.
Project Name: Azzure Oceanic A Minimalist Seaside Sanctuary
Studio Name: FOAID Designs
Designed for a family of five transitioning from a bungalow to apartment living, the home is a thoughtfully curated retreat. Every corner is shaped by intention, drawing inspiration from its seaside setting and the family’s desire for openness, warmth, and functionality.
From the moment you enter, the home makes a subtle yet lasting impression. The foyer greets visitors with carefully placed planters, artefacts, and a sculptural chair, while a serene Buddha figure quietly anchors the space with peace and modern elegance. This welcoming entrance leads into an expansive living area marked by clean lines, soft palettes, and natural textures that echo the outdoors.
The living and dining areas are interconnected, visually and functionally. A statement dining table with a golden metallic base sits alongside gold-detailed chairs, creating a refined focal point, while geometric wall elements lend a contemporary flair. A unique design highlight in this zone is the hidden pooja room, seamlessly integrated into a storage niche—an intuitive solution that also includes a concealed luggage area tailored for the family’s frequent travels.
A dynamic multipurpose room follows—adaptable for use as a study, lounge, guest room, or play area. A teal-toned palette infuses it with coastal calm, while a custom-designed hydraulic sofa-bed ensures ease of transformation, underscoring a flexible, tech-enabled approach to modern living.
Each of the bedrooms tells a different story, shaped by the personalities and needs of its inhabitants. The son’s room is vibrant and youthful, with bold orange flooring subtly delineating zones within the space. A bespoke sandstone bed-back sets the tone for future personalization, while concealed dressers and inclined mirrors add both style and smart storage.
Next door, the parents’ room is a model of minimal sophistication. Classical wall moulding meets soft rose gold laminates, resulting in a serene palette tailored for comfort. Custom furniture pieces are designed to echo the space’s understated charm.
The master bedroom—located thoughtfully near the kitchen for daily ease—fuses raw textures with refined finishes. Concrete wall treatments, CNC-cut detailing, ambient lighting, and a fluted glass sliding-door wardrobe come together to create a moody, elegant cocoon. The inclusion of hidden drawers and a private locker enhances functionality while preserving visual clarity.
FOAID Designs has transformed this Chennai apartment into a home where simplicity and richness co-exist. Azzure Oceanic isn’t just a well-designed space—it’s a lived-in expression of balance, crafted for a family who values calm, connection, and timeless aesthetics in everyday living.
