PENT HOUSE AT PLAY

An interesting contrast of design styles and textures defines this elegant penthouse by Sunita Yogesh

When a space is large and open-planned, like this site which was handed to designer Sunita Yogesh, bringing in the element of warmth becomes vital. Especially if it’s a family home with three generations and a footprint large enough to accommodate their needs. Unperturbed by its size (3100sqft), and inspired by the array of possibilities before her, Sunita dived into the design process of transforming this Bengaluru-based, 16th floor, four-bedroom penthouse from a bare shell into a liveable home.

Sticking to one style seemed limiting, prompting Yogesh to bring in an interesting meld of mid-century meets modern meets traditional elements. With this, the house became organic and almost lived-in, which boded perfectly with the client’s needs. Another interesting juxtaposition lies in the textures and colours. We see wood merged with iron and brass, and neutral colours propped beside deep greens, blues and tans.
