DRAMA OF BLACK AND WHITE

Neha Gupta and Sachin Gupta Founder and Principal Designer Beyond Designs, Delhi www.beyonddesigns.in

What’s the idea behind this bath space?

Located in Chattarpur, Delhi, we designed this bathroom for the pool house. The entire pool house was designed on the principles of neoclassical style where a contemporary space is carved out by fusing traditional Indian and European design influences with modern sensibilities. This bath space follows the same style. The chequered black and white flooring, the wash basins, the mirrors, the chandelier and the chairs create a captivating visual.

How does one balance the rest of the space with such a busy floor?

The bold black and white flooring sets an alluring stage for a bathroom. We teamed it with neutral but equally dramatic classic European features such as the glass and crystal chandelier, the pastel wallpaper, the chairs upholstered in subtle paisley print give further indication to this.

Such a space can be challenging, how did you steer clear of problems?

The biggest challenge is getting the clients on board. However, since we know the clients for long, understand their sensibilities and they know our style, it was smooth sailing.

What’s the concept behind this bathroom?

The concept behind this space for a home in Gurgaon was to create a vertical industrial bathing sanctuary. The double height bathroom was designed to give a striking and powerful ambience. Given the dark colour palette, we have played with mirrors in abstract shapes which also bounce the light to make the space look inviting.

Any stand out feature?
