Multi-levelled stepped seating imagined in polished Kota stone aligns along the walls. “The epicentre of their daily spiritual routines and a congregational spot during festivities, the pooja room is a new-age image of temple architecture.

Swathed in teak hardwood flooring, grey Kota stone, rosewood, and brass inlay, the space is symbolic of repose. The internal metal framework has been crowned with a jade-green marble, and the base is clad in teakwood beading both materials retained in their unadorned form,” iterates Pradeep.Ī modern interpretation that is also a homage to ritualistic traditions, the pooja room at Peninsula 10 was a space the client’s held close to their hearts its conception needed to meld serenity and an Indianized vocabulary effortlessly. “The resolve was to create a light and almost dynamic ensemble with an individualistic presence within the quaint space. The floral fabric-upholstered bar stool, black metal and brass multi-headed pendant, and capacious console towards the rear further build on its pragmatic and aesthetic features. Levitating in a cantilevered manner, the breakfast counter makes for a sculptural addition to the space, stretching across the nook with its angular form as the pièce de résistance. A wood veneer-lined segment washes over the wall and ascends to make its way across the ceiling, demarcating the zone discernibly. Snugly situated within a wood-lined alcove, the breakfast area acts as an interactive and functional extension to the larger public zones of the home. The employment of all-white cabinetry enables the space to seem larger and brighter, while the grey marble-lined countertops and backsplashes by Marble Italia create a grounded demeanour. Preceded by a pantry area, the kitchen’s design ethos focuses on engaging colour and material palette that elevates the visual perception of light, owing to the moderate sunlight that seeps inside. A duo of black metal pendants illuminates the intimate dining area, building on the neoteric DNA of the space. The eight-seater white marble top and wood base dining table are paired idyllically with blush-hued upholstered dining chairs by RedOAK, which inject an accent of colour into the otherwise pared-down zone. A fluted fascia credenza stretches along the length of the space, lodged amidst canopying greens. The dining space has been visualised against a handcrafted feature wall, layered with grey Italian marble sourced from Marble Italia, which boasts of amorphous-form veining interspersed with grooved segments and brass inlay beading. As a secondary residence, the spaces silentlyĪpplaud the unpretentious identity of the home while ensuring that familial warmth remains sacrosanct. At Peninsula 10, humble materials have been explored with abounding clarity, nuanced with keen attention to detail. Instead, the dwelling finds its bearings in the maxim of less being more, shining a light upon the modest yet impactful role materials play in the design process,” conclude the Principal Architects. “Neutrality and a pertinent sense of calm within this home in no manner give way to a lack of character.
