The Grey House: Minimalist Duplex Design

A walk-through of 'The Grey House', showcasing its open spaces, clean lines, and muted monochrome color palette. Our goal was to create a modern minimalist home where simplicity and functionality allow each design element to shine with purpose.

The main living area features a striking black textured wall that provides a dramatic backdrop for the contemporary art and minimalist furniture. The open-plan layout connects the living and dining areas, flowing out to an open-to-sky balcony.

In design, we often face challenges from structural elements or Vastu requirements. Here, we explain how we cleverly concealed a large structural column and a maintenance shaft behind a beautiful feature wall with sliding shutters, creating hidden storage and maintaining a clean aesthetic.

The master bedroom continues the minimalist theme with a combination of concrete texture and fluted panels behind the bed. The design creates a calm and restful atmosphere, with large windows offering expansive city views.

This guest room was designed as a multipurpose space for the family to read or play. We installed a custom Murphy bed that easily transforms the room into a comfortable bedroom for guests, demonstrating our focus on flexible and functional design.

We designed this cozy nook as a home office and library. The custom-built shelves are organized to house the family's extensive book collection, with the books themselves adding pops of color to the otherwise neutral and minimalist space.

The powder bathroom combines the raw beauty of concrete walls with the organic warmth of a live-edge wood counter. A natural stone sink and a simple pendant light complete this study in texture and minimalism.

Small details create a seamless look. We explain our technique of matching the skirting to the wall color and using frameless aluminum door frames to achieve a clean, uninterrupted finish, reinforcing the home's minimalist aesthetic.

Designing a duplex apartment requires creating a harmonious flow between two levels. We used a consistent palette of materials and textures while introducing subtle variations to define different spaces, ensuring the entire home feels connected yet dynamic.
