The AJ Luxe Apartment is located on the 10th floor of an apartment complex with a bird’s eye view of the Kowdiar palace, the surrounding city and the far sighted Western Ghats. Two separate flats were combined to form a single apartment for a family of four members.The rigidity of the framework of the existing envelope and columns were indeed a challenge that we believe was resolved in the best way possible to meet the additional requirements of the client. The interior walls were reorganised and re erected to include a bigger kitchen, a home theatre, a separate study space in addition to the living room, dining room and 3 ensuite bedrooms with attached balconies. The plan was reworked without altering the structural elements and service lines into the apartment.
For us at S Squared Architects, the cue of the interior theme mostly comes from the design preferences put forth by the client. This is what makes one story different from another. This is what makes the character of the interior in sync with the ethos and personality of its users. In the AJ Luxe Apartment, the client prefered darker shades and metallics. We used this opportunity to explore a concoction of mixed metallics and an intense dark colour palette in the common areas while we played down to warmer middle tones in the bedrooms.

A sophisticated material palette of natural wood veneers, metallic laminates, brass flats, and natural stone veneers create a stunning range of rich textures that are diverse in detail but unified through design to create spaces that are infused with warmth, delight , elegance and luxury.
