Ruby Residence

For Preshita Shah Gupta, this project has been an exercise in designing a house that becomes an extension of the client�s needs and personality. We stripped the entire house to its bare shell, breaking a few walls to modify the existing spaces and integrated an open kitchen and central free multifunctional space, mostly for the young son�s benefit. This space became flexible in nature, where it becomes the breakfast area in the mornings, a play area in the afternoons and an extension of the open kitchen and a bar counter during parties to mix and mingle with guests. The living room was kept airy and spacious with a foldable dining table so that it can be closed off when not in use and the space can be kept open for the son to run around. The entire living room is enveloped in muted tones of Grey with gold highlights. Our idea was to make the tight spaces in the 2BHK look spacious and open by employing a uniform color palette which envelopes the entire house.
