This Ahmedabad Home is a Gorgeous Example of Restraint in Design

The 3-bedroom apartment is a home to a close-knit family of 4, a young couple with a 6-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son. Their requirements were to have space to look spacious yet fulfilling their smaller functional requirements giving whole space bold and modern touch. Being an old box apartment, we had to undergo a lot of civil changes to amalgamate clients all requirements making it the biggest challenge. Although we were given freehand at design hence, we could use utmost creativity.
