Conceptualized and designed by Ar Mehul Shah and Ar Mitul Shah of Studio Yamini in collaboration with their creative design team, this is a minimalistic and serene look home that generates positive vibes.

The white ambaji flooring generates lots of positivity in the house.

Terrace

The terrace is oriented in east-to-west direction towards the living room, the east space lets in the morning light. Flooring takes the centre stage here, the terrace has a unique articulated flooring pattern evolved using white Ambaji marble with black Kadapa stone, installed in a chevron pattern.

The armchairs and centre table (terrace furniture) are from Lavish line.  

Dining

The dining room in the home gives a homely vibe. The sturdy table is made from Baroda green marble top and teak wood legs (custom designed by us) and the dining chairs have a nice ochre upholstered seat with a wicker back which complements the Baroda green tabletop.

Kitchen

The kitchen continues the same language as the rest of the house. The muted light color palette of ivory with teak wood on the shutters and white Ambaji flooring, with a sliding partition made from teak wood and flute glass facing towards the dining space, grabs the attention.

The library

Relaxation, tranquility and escape are what the material palette brings in the small library lounge at our project. The cantilevered study table desk with the white brick patterned wall, combined with wooden veneer blinds enhances the space.

The Family lounge

In small spaces, however, the challenge is to add textures and color without it being too overwhelming. So the firm kept the palette warm with solid teak wood flooring and teak veneer console paired with light olive green sofas customized by us and a round table center table finish in teak veneer. The family lounge is in the upper level followed by a staircase railing designed and customized by the team, and is finished in brass while the stairs are finished in solid teak wood.

This unique combination of colors, textures and architectural elements seamlessly blend into the fabric and patterns, while reconfiguring the spaces to facilitate both contemporary lifestyle and expression of a minimalist outlook.
