This penthouse in Vadodara, which is 5000 square feet in size, was designed by Studio Yamini to provide an environment that is both relaxing and encouraging. The architects conceptualize the space to represent an unique and uncomplicated personality, and the penthouse is chiselled on the notion of “living with art.” The penthouse is choreographed into a single residential unit from two clean and empty shells. Aside from allowing an abundance of natural light and wind to enter, the rooms inside gently honor and showcase the family’s art collection. This serves to inspire the color palette, grab attention, and lend visual weight and texture to the interiors. The interiors reveal a variety of particulars, such as the stained-glass screen that was designed specifically for the entrance, the seven pendant lamps that are suspended above the exposed cement-sheet clad stairwell, the terrace pergola, and the balcony/terrace flooring patterns that were created from three Indian stones and a chevron print. All of these particulars create pockets of interest. An additional expressive feature is a transition area on the top level that also functions as an art gallery. The material palette is dominated by Indian ambaji marble, kota stone, black cudappah, teak wood, and teak veneer. However, there are sporadic components scattered around the home that offer color, interrupting the monotony of beige and brown. A warm and inviting atmosphere is created by the combination of the hidden LED ceiling and spot lights, as well as the double-glazed windows, which reduce noise without obstructing the availability of light. The architects select this apartment to emanate an unobtrusive, timeless charm. It was once remarked by Picasso that “the aim of art is cleaning the dust of everyday life off our spirits.” Studio Yamini, with this penthouse and its endless attraction, brings to mind exactly what Picasso meant by saying that.
