The 780-square-meters penthouse by Architecture Discipline, located in The IVY, in Gurgaon, India, exudes sophistication and panache from every aspect.
Wrapped up with frosted film, the glass entrance door provides some privacy to the family whilst giving a hint of the house to the visitors even before they enter. The glow of natural light on the door keeps varying throughout the day which gives it a transposable character. The double height bookshelf acts as a memory shelf exhibiting the owner’s collectibles. The entrance lobby is perspective driven wherein the bookshelf and the flooring pattern helps in exaggerating the sense of depth and pulls the eye of the visitor till the end of the hallway.
The architect has used unique artworks, light fixtures, furniture patterns and materials to create a one-of-a-kind space. The entire home is luxurious yet eclectic. The floorboards of the entire apartment are made of antique oak. Cuddapah stone is used for the floors and walls of the bathrooms, which are accessorised with gold-plated fixtures and accent wallpapers. The penthouse has an open plan layout making it appear larger. The colour palette remains consistent throughout the house, differentiated by highlighting one colour in each of the spaces (Published with Bowerbird)
