PROJECT BRIEF
Studio Pastels was entrusted by a discerning middle-aged couple to transform their penthouse apartment into a residence echoing their sophisticated, old-money lifestyle, interwoven with their devout yet vivacious demeanor. They desired a living space that resonated with their rich, aesthetic lifestyle while incorporating contemporary materials and designs. The result is a home that seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern comforts, embodying the old-money charm they have always envisioned.

Client Brief
The clients, a middle-aged couple, sought to align their home with their elegant and spiritually-rich lifestyle. The design directive was clear: to craft an environment reminiscent of an old-money residence yet outfitted with modern amenities and aesthetics. This blend ensures the home not only reflects their current lifestyle but also the timeless allure of traditional opulence.

Inspiration and Key Concepts
At the heart of this project lies comfort, enhanced by the couple’s affection for premium materials such as veneer and marble. Their appreciation for neutral color schemes is evident, with a palette dominated by beige and grey, imparting a classic, enduring look throughout the residence. Art, decor, and botanicals are strategically placed to create intimate, inviting nooks that reflect the couple’s personalities and interests.

Spatial Configuration and Design
The apartment stretches over two levels, with the lower floor housing the foyer, living and dining areas, kitchen, two master bedrooms, a pooja room, and a connecting staircase. The living area is bifurcated into formal and informal zones—the former for family gatherings and the latter serving as a leisure spot for the couple. The upper level comprises a lounge room and a gazebo, both designed to facilitate entertainment and relaxation, with the gazebo and adjacent kitchen pantry becoming hubs of activity during evening socials.

Design Techniques, Colors, Materials, Textures, Patterns
The design employs wood and veneers, set against a backdrop of solid beige or grey, creating a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere. The olive grey velvet sofa in front of the textured beige TV wall invites relaxation, while the prominent Shrinathji painting in an arched niche adds a spiritual dimension to the setting. The dining area features a green Italian marble table opposite a crockery unit adorned with white patterned mosaics, enhancing the space's luxurious feel. The kitchen continues the theme with ambaji green marble backsplashes, striking a balance between playful and subdued. The all-white ambaji marble pooja room is delicately carved with motifs of Lord Krishna, doubling as a serene meditation space. The first master bedroom, bathed in grey and geometric patterns, captures natural light, creating a dynamic interplay with the organic-shaped dresser. The second bedroom employs pastel pink hues and soft linen, embracing femininity and comfort. The upper lounge exudes a rustic, industrial charm with its raw wood furniture and metal accents, set against cement-finished walls and a wooden beam ceiling. The Gazebo is a beautiful semi-open space, an ode to privacy and nature, with wooden ceilings and chevron-patterned flooring. A screen adorned with creepers adds a touch of seclusion, making it an ideal spot for tranquil evenings.

Key Design Element
The living room’s wall panel is a testament to thoughtful design, where a wooden panel with brass lights frames the Shrinathji painting. The rounded arch wall unit with glass shelves further showcases elegant brass pieces, reflecting the overarching theme of the home.

In summary, this project by Studio Pastels not only meets the clients' expectations but elevates their living experience by merging traditional elegance with contemporary design. Each space within the apartment has been meticulously crafted to reflect the couple's love for old-money aesthetics while embracing the functionalities of modern living. This home stands as a testament to their lifestyle, beliefs, and the harmonious balance they cherish.
