Diverse elements such as colours, textures, materials, finishes, lighting and greenery play a major role in shaping the contemporary style interiors of this residence in the Greater Kailash 1, in New Delhi. Spread across 7,500 sq. ft. area, the four-level home has been designed by Ar. Nilanjan Bhowal, Principal Architect, Design Consortium. In terms of space planning, the residence has a basement with an entertainment zone; the ground floor has the living area, dining room and kitchen. The first floor houses a family lounge, study area, two bedrooms, while the second floor has the guest bedroom, gym and terrace. “The client wanted an open space and villa-like feel in this city residence. Therefore, the home is set around green central courts, gardens and terrace gardens,” Nilanjan says.

The architect has designed in a way that the home is surrounded by open areas on all sides and is well-lit and has proper ventilation. “We started by creating large green open areas and articulating the living spaces around them. Hence, every space in this residence opens to a green space. This also ensures there is ample natural light.” the architect adds.
