So what did they feel bad about earlier?
The apartment was plain and unfurnished and there was no personality or warmth. The finishes were minimal and significant change was not permitted.
How did they want the feel of their home/space?
Royal, majestic, and shiny, a luxurious dream house that is easy to maintain clean and functional daily.
Any specific concerns?
They have a budget of AED 100,000. There is no possibility of modifying tiles or flooring.
The kitchen is to remain within its built-in boundaries.
Project Scope
Type of spaces covered:
- Living Room
- Dining Area
- Kitchen
- Master Bedroom
- Walk-in Closet
- Balcony
Challenges We Faced as a Design Team
Site constraints: The floor (no changes can take place), the structure (no changes can take place) was limited, and we could not modify the space.
Design-to-built roadblocks: Shininess and gold accents were to remain affordable and not to be compromised.
Vendor or material delays: Pending site execution
Communication gaps or scope creep: None
Lack of clarity in expectations: We had a vague idea of the way our finishes need to be shiny or luxurious.
Why Our Design Worked
The choice of specific design that impacted greatly:
-
Fluted panels and mauve floral wallpaper created depth and texture.
-
There was a rippled metallic ceiling that reflected light and provided a sense of luxury and transparency.
-
The glossy taupe kitchen with fluted glass and marble backsplash reflected the shiny dream.
- A personal dressing area had been created by turning a small storeroom into a custom walk-in closet.
-
The swing, plant covered balcony was turned into a comfortable retreat.
Most Unexpected or Weird Thing That Happened
