Despite the challenges of expansion, the design team delivers a harmonious living space radiating warmth and sophistication.

Client's Vision: The client aspired to create a retreat-like atmosphere within their home, balancing comfort with contemporary style. Their goal was to incorporate an additional bedroom for their daughter while maintaining a sense of spaciousness and elegance throughout the residence.

Design Concept: Urban Retreat embraces modern aesthetics with subtle European influences, infusing each room with its distinct character. From the tropical-themed master bedroom to the sleek and contemporary parents' bedroom, floral patterns and curved elements add whimsy, while a neutral colour palette fosters a serene ambiance conducive to relaxation and rejuvenation.

Space Planning: Meticulous attention to detail guides the layout reimagining, accommodating the additional bedroom without compromising functionality or aesthetics. Strategic removal of walls and new partitions delineates distinct living areas, promoting seamless interaction between spaces. The open kitchen concept enhances flow, while thoughtful furniture placement ensures optimal accessibility and comfort.

Aesthetic Choices:

Colour Palette:Soft pastel hues dominate the colour palette, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. Shades of peach, royal blue, and grey are complemented by accents of floral patterns and metallic finishes, adding depth and visual interest to the interiors.

Materials and Finishes:Luxurious materials such as velvet, marble, and brass are prominent throughout Velvet Haven, enhancing its upscale appeal. Laminates, back-painted glass, and Corian surfaces are used to achieve a perfect blend of sophistication and practicality.
