Aralias apartment is facing the beautiful golf course, expansive landscape and the verdant greens. The 5,000 sq ft. apartment has few but large spaces, four bedrooms, a large living, TV room and a formal lounge. 

 

The hallmark is the entrance foyer, the formal lounge and two sitting areas seamlessly flowing into each other. The entrance has a massive sandstone relief sculpture with huge blocks of stone uniquely fixed with dowels. The dainty waterfall and the burntwood column treatment, the vaulted ceiling and the mandir at the end of the axis create a nice symphony. The mandir with raised wooden floor made with criss- crossing solid wood joist, the burntwood jaali and Buddhist rotating blocks, the Buddha relief made out of paper and wood on the mandir wall create a peaceful meditative space.

 

The various spaces are intertwined yet separated with the help of painted screens. The jaali titled as the tree of life between TV lounge and main sitting space is a work of beauty, the other jaali near the entrance portray a family with a dog. The dining table with the imprints of people vaguely reminding of the last supper, an artwork. The walls have been very deftly dealt with, the flamed granite walls on one side contrast with solid wood cladding with streaks of light enhancing and enriching the textures.
