The idea

Woven together, room by room.

The second part of Amalgam follows the other thread of the concept: weaving. Where the reception rooms are composed for guests, the everyday rooms are where the family’s lives are woven together. Each holds a different way of living, yet they read as one fabric.

The family living room gathers beneath the sculptural stair and a full-height library wall. At the entrance, walnut joinery hides a television wall behind panels. The large majlis is laid out for gatherings around long tables and sculptural pendants, while a private lounge turns to low light, leather and deep walnut.

On the lower floor, the gym and the children’s playroom keep the same textured plaster, walnut and soft indirect light, with colour brought in through the playroom’s joinery.
