Introspective Apartment

Looking from within its four walls and conventional layout that fits into a young, growing family, this three-bedroom apartment, sets out to break from its mundane repertoire right from the spatial arrangement. An intricate balance of warm yet restrained was crafted to create space for introspection and sanctuary for the owners and a safe space to grow with their kids.

Though open, spaces for introspection and isolation were also peppered throughout the living space to create private nooks for the owners to retreat into while maintaining visual connectedness.
