characterized by simplicity, clean lines, and sumptuous blocks of color, FADD studio has realized the ?ash abode? in bengaluru, india. the design of the new duplex residence takes inspiration from the japanese art of ukiyo-e, which roughly translates to ?living in the moment?, to create a home that embodies ideas of minimalism and ?zen? sensibilities.

the natural colors and materials of the furniture pieces stand out vibrantly against the textured grey-green walls, adding a dash of drama
 
 
during the development of the design, there was a conscious effort to avoid the use of anything white. the wall and ceiling surfaces are instead decorated in soft grey-green, which is anchored by the contrasting burnt sienna colored floors. overall, the combination of hues, very carefully selected furniture pieces and lighting elements synchronize to create an elegant yet welcoming home.
to create a serene atmosphere, fabrics in natural browns and greens were selected

the design team wanted the materiality of the walls, the ceiling and the floor to be harmoniously matte, only to differ in color

the interior is defined by simplicity, clean lines, and sumptuous blocks of color

the selection of furniture pieces were carefully chosen to complement the space
