Introducing MN Residence. We've been sitting on this one for a while.
MN Residence is a home we designed for a family that likes art, colours and spaces that feel easy on the eyes. The brief was never about a single idea or a signature look. It was about building an apartment that could hold many small ideas and varied tastes all at once.
We organised the rooms around a shared material palette, teak, walnut, brass, and lime plaster, that runs through the apartment in varying configurations. The living room is where everything comes together: navy, cognac, crimson, gold, and the warmth of teak all sharing the same space. From there, the rooms peel off into their own directions. The entry distils it into crimson and black. The child's bedroom takes sage green and terracotta. The bathroom commits to deep blue.
A curved motif we introduced on the TV wall as a vertical gold wave became a thread we followed through the rest of the apartment, into the bedroom doors and into the furniture. Indian references came in the same way: a classical peacock painting in a lit niche, clay wall lights textured by hand, and relief artwork assembled by hand, as they would be in any home rooted in its context.
More to follow.
