Dr. Ramakrishna’s residence

Ar. Harish Lakhani plays on a restricted colour palette and an understated material palette to usher in simplicity, expanse and comfort into Dr. Ramakrishna and Dr. Sunita’s home in Hyderabad… 
When a high-profile working couple seek refuge in their home, however little their waking hours here are, they almost naturally opt for serenity, comfort and a pleasing ambience. This doctor couple too had a similar straight-forward brief.

Uncluttered, wide expanses, functional, comfortable and aesthetically appointed, their apartment on the 21st floor in Kukkatpally is an exercise in simplicity and keeps all aspects of relaxing and socializing in mind. Enveloped in a shroud of white – walls, flooring, furniture as well as the works of art – the home comes alive like a breath of fresh air; glossy surfaces juxtaposed with matt soft furnishings; mirror and glass vying for equal attention as wooden surfaces; clean straight lines cutting across soft contours… in a shell that plays upon a colour palette of blacks, grays, and browns, and of course, the ubiquitous white; with understated splashes of bright hues anointing select artifacts and soft furnishings!
