chordia house - udaipur

Opulent Orchestration

The firm was approached by the client Mr Chordia for modern and rich interiors, who purchased 4 flats on Tenth Floor in the Apartment Roop Madhuban, located in Shobhagpura, Udaipur. His idea was to have flat like safe residence. Out of which, 3 flats were designed for immediate use accounting to appx. 6000 Sq. Ft, with 6 bedrooms, living, dining , by their family, including his parents, wife and toddler daughter and one flat was kept for future intervention, for his brother, who resides in Mumbai. Hence the spaces had to be reworked and customised to match with required design. Being a pioneer in Italian Marble Industry, the client was inclined to have his business material explored sensibly.

The concept for the rich interiors of a flat in neutral colours embraces elegance and sophistication. The design focuses on creating a serene and timeless ambiance by utilizing a palette of neutral tones such as soft creams, warm beiges, and subtle greys. Plush textures and luxurious materials like velvet, and marble elevate the space, while vibrant accents add a touch of glamour. Thoughtfully curated artwork and statement lighting fixtures provide focal points and enhance the overall aesthetic. The result is a harmonious blend of understated luxury, creating a haven of tranquillity and refinement in every corner of the flat.
