Hello, I am Dameem Ansari from Ansari Architects. In today's video, we are gonna see about the penthouse villa we have designed.
00:13.0
00:17.8
00:17.9
00:22.7
00:22.8
00:30.8
This Penthouse Villa is actually an apartment house. It is in Metrozone, Anna Nagar, Chennai.
00:30.9
00:35.7
It is on the 16th floor. So, we have named it as the Penthouse
00:35.8
00:40.6
We call it Penthouse Villa because it is not like a general apartment.
00:40.7
00:46.4
This house has all the luxuries of a Villa and doesn't look like an apartment.
00:46.5
00:54.4
We have designed this house in such a way. Although the basic plan is done by the apartment builders
00:54.5
01:02.4
I will show you in detail how we modified the apartment house into a luxurious and beautiful Villa.
01:02.5
01:05.2
You can see for yourself.
01:05.3
01:10.1
As soon as you enter the house, the builders have created a Verandah.
01:10.2
01:15.0
It is spacious, but it has no safety at all.
01:15.1
01:19.9
The main door is present after the verandah, and it doesn't have any additional safety.
01:20.0
01:29.9
In most of the houses, you can see a grill door, which looks so crude and ugly.
01:30.0
01:34.8
We have exclusively given a grill door here in this house. You can see that.
01:34.9
01:44.7
This door has a beautiful cutout panel. If you give the design, you can get beautifully designed laser-cut metal doors.
01:44.8
01:49.6
We have incorporated the metal design into the wooden door to give a nice luxurious finish.
01:49.7
02:03.5
The advantage of using such a cutout panel is the ventilation. It has gaps from which you can get your courier or parcels, etc.
02:03.6
02:08.4
You can even talk to delivery people through it and send them away.
02:08.5
02:13.3
Security is much enhanced with this door. Additionally, there is the main door at the back.
02:13.4
02:18.2
We always suggest our clients have a double door for their house.
02:18.3
02:26.6
This is the Verandah. On the left side, you can see a shoe rack, and on the right side
02:26.7
02:40.3
there is a kitchen door. Another important thing is that it also has a servant room with an attached toilet. They can easily access the kitchen from the Verandah.
02:40.4
02:45.2
So, their area is situated separately.
02:45.3
02:50.1
If you enter through the main door, there is a beautiful Foyer.
02:50.2
03:01.8
This Foyer is very important, this is the thing you first see when you enter into the house.
03:01.9
03:09.5
So, we have started luxury right from this area. The walls are treated using Marble Cladding completely from floor to ceiling.
03:09.6
03:14.4
Luxury alone is not the point. Italian Marble is an expensive item.
03:14.5
03:19.3
Although luxury is present, maintenance is the most important thing
03:19.4
03:30.8
In all the projects we do, and the designs we create using materials and wall designs, we give utmost priority to the maintenance
03:30.9
03:35.7
and make sure whether the item lasts for up to 50 years. Marble is almost a permanent material.
03:35.8
03:43.4
If you leave the wall just plain, or go for white walls
03:43.5
03:48.3
it might get dirty because of the hand contact
03:48.4
04:01.5
We identify such areas, including the main door and nearby areas. So, we have completely used marbles.
04:01.6
04:12.9
So, it will be easy. Painting every three years is not practically an easy task. It also has many health issues and more hassles.
04:13.0
04:17.8
Leaving your house for four to five days and staying elsewhere is also not easy in today's scenario.
04:17.9
04:22.7
So, we make the design maintenance-friendly by identifying the dirt-prone areas.
04:22.8
04:27.6
For example, the walls near main door and kitchen,
04:27.7
04:32.5
corner walls near the dinning area, etc.
04:32.6
04:43.7
We have given marble, wood, or glass cladding to these places which are very easy to maintain. So, you won't have much painting work.
04:43.8
04:48.6
It is a very important concept. So, on either side of the Foyer, we have the marble cladding.
04:48.7
04:53.5
You can also called the Foyer as the Lobby also.
04:53.6
04:58.4
The left side of the Foyer has a beautiful mirror concept.
04:58.5
05:03.3
On the left side when you enter. You can very well see the main door.
05:03.4
05:14.3
From this view, it is the right side. It has very beautiful mirror paneling. It accentuates the space of the Foyer and we have used the beveled mirror here.
05:14.4
05:21.8
It is also from floor to ceiling. We have given the wooden concept right from the ceiling.
05:21.9
05:31.9
The Centre of the ceiling has a beautiful chandelier. Throughout the house, the wooden design is repeated everywhere. It starts from the foyer area.
05:32.0
05:39.4
Once you enter from the foyer, there is a living room as per the old plan done by the builders.
05:39.5
05:44.3
Unfortunately due to some planning reasons, there was not much space.
05:44.4
05:49.2
The width was around 10 and a half feet only and it cannot suit sofas there.
05:49.3
05:54.1
So, we have made it ideal for the dining area, according to the width and height.
05:54.2
06:04.9
Another advantage of the dining is that from this area you can see the entire city.
06:05.0
06:09.8
Since it is on the sixteenth floor, you will feel like you are on top of the world. You will have a wonderful view.
06:09.9
06:20.5
Once you lift the screen, we have given the floor to ceiling height glass and the view is amazing.
06:20.6
06:25.4
It looks so nice during rainy seasons.
06:25.5
06:30.3
After the dining, there is a beautiful sit-out area. You can enjoy the view from there.
06:30.4
06:46.7
The most luxurious part of the dining is the ceiling. It has a beautiful checkered design with an alternating veneer and mirror finish.
06:46.8
06:51.6
Plus, we do not avoid fans in all the rooms.
06:51.7
06:56.5
Be it a dining room, living room or bedroom, in all our designs the fan is the most important thing.
06:56.6
07:01.4
We are used to the fan very much.
07:01.5
07:06.3
So, the fan is in the centre of the dining and on either side there are very beautiful chandeliers.
07:06.4
07:16.8
In the dining area, you can find the crockery self, pantry counter where you can keep the items that you want to serve.
07:16.9
07:21.7
It will be very useful. There is also a cabinet below where you can store all the utensils.
07:21.8
07:34.5
The most important thing in the dining area is the partition. It divides the family room and the dining room. It is a creative work designed beautifully.
07:34.6
07:44.9
We have given alternate glass panels and artificial onyx marble. It is a very famous one.
07:45.0
07:49.8
It is a translucent material and comes in light colors. It is also very costly.
07:49.9
07:56.2
The transparency is very beautiful. It is also available in artificial kind. The thickness of it is very little.
07:56.3
08:01.1
Installation is also very easy. To add effect, we have given the light inside
08:01.2
08:13.7
We can easily provide the light, but it will be hard for you to maintain. So, we design it accordingly.
08:13.8
08:20.9
Here, we have given the light back of the onyx marble and to access that we have given a wooden panel
08:21.0
08:25.8
You can reach the panel and remove the lights to service and maintain them.
08:25.9
08:36.0
This partition actually separates the family room and dining room. Left side you have the family room.
08:36.1
08:51.3
The main thing there is the TV unit. It has beautiful paneling and on top of that, we have given mirror panels using a cutout finish.
08:51.4
09:01.4
You can see the concept of white, and wood paneling throughout the house. On some walls,
09:01.5
09:06.3
you can see wallpaper finish and some using paint finish. There won't be a uniform finish.
09:06.4
09:22.1
Wallpapers are very cost-effective and replacement is also very easy. In half a day, you can do a complete house.
09:22.2
09:27.0
You can change it completely in one day and is very cheap.
09:27.1
09:31.9
Paintings may also incur health problems but there is no such thing with wallpapers.
09:32.0
09:44.6
It usually comes for up to 5 years. Most people think it will cause problems by peeling off. But in our work, it has never happened. It may happen due to moisture inside the walls.
09:44.7
09:49.5
Even painting will peel off in such cases.
09:49.6
09:54.4
That is the family room. Besides the TV unit, it also has seating on one side.
09:54.5
09:59.3
There is a nice view in the family room also.
09:59.4
10:04.2
We have given big windows and the furniture to maximize the view.
10:04.3
10:09.1
On one side of the family room, we have created a photo wall.
10:09.2
10:14.0
From the family room, you can access the study room nearby
10:14.1
10:23.7
I will show you that later. From the family room, if you cross the dining area, then comes the living room.
10:23.8
10:33.9
The living room is very spacious and on the sides, we have given provision for sofas. From here you can access two bedrooms.
10:34.0
10:45.2
The view is very beautiful from the living room also. We have made the partition between the dining area and living room a pantry counter.
10:45.3
10:57.4
This divides both the rooms. You might ask why there are two rooms, a living room, and a family room.
10:57.5
11:14.1
Since the design of this apartment is like a Villa, we have a separate room here to receive visitors. We call that a visiting room, or drawing room or
11:14.2
11:19.0
just general living room. The outsiders mostly come and occupy there.
11:19.1
11:23.9
The family room is exclusively only for the family people.
11:24.0
11:28.8
The main Tv and other provisions are just present there.
11:28.9
11:33.7
That is the private area of the house
11:33.8
11:38.6
So, we mostly do two living spaces in all the Villa houses.
11:38.7
11:43.5
We have also implemented that in this house also.
11:43.6
11:48.4
This apartment is quite spacious. It is of 2500 sq.ft
11:48.5
11:53.3
That is the main reason we were able to do all these. In here, there are three bedrooms.
11:53.4
12:02.6
In the living room, there is an important corner wall.
12:02.7
12:07.5
We have given a wonderful metal mural wall design.
12:07.6
12:12.4
The turning is accentuated by the mural and there is also a chair set in front of it.
12:12.5
12:17.3
To add some colour, we have given green chairs.
12:17.4
12:22.2
Mostly, the color scheme of this entire house is somewhat sober.
12:22.3
12:32.5
The touch of color will come from the cushion, pillows, and small chairs, and so on.
12:32.6
12:37.4
Each bedroom is done in a specific color theme.
12:37.5
12:42.3
From the living room, you can go to the Master bedroom.
12:42.4
12:47.2
The door to the master bedroom is from the family room.
12:47.3
12:52.1
The Master bedroom is very large and beautiful.
12:52.2
13:07.0
The builder just gave a small wardrobe at first on one side. In any master bedroom we try to get 16 feet
13:07.1
13:22.9
wardrobe. It is kind of a stand. There are more exclusive items in the wardrobe now. We try to match to 16 feet.
13:23.0
13:34.0
To achieve that we reconfigured the plan, by introducing a new wardrobe and upgrading the existing one.
13:34.1
13:38.9
Mostly in apartments, they do not give provision for dressing table and all.
13:39.0
13:43.8
In all the rooms, we have given the dressing table.
13:43.9
13:54.8
This room is very beautiful and it had a beam running in between. So, did a wooden treatment and divided it visually
13:54.9
14:05.7
into two portions. One is the bed portion and the wardrobe area for dressing. So, it is of two sections.
14:05.8
14:14.4
The bed is the centre of attraction here, so behind that, we have given artificial leather cushion paneling in white.
14:14.5
14:23.0
We have also given lighting behind it, so the bed has a special floating effect once the light is on.
14:23.1
14:27.9
The wall behind the bed has a special flower wallpaper.
14:28.0
14:32.8
To give a soft nature to the bedroom.
14:32.9
14:37.7
The floral design beautifully contrasts the dark nature of the flooring
14:37.8
14:42.6
The dark wooden floor is specification of the builder
14:42.7
14:53.2
The teal color concept is seen in the master bedroom in all the designs, be it the curtains, windows
14:53.3
14:58.1
floor rug, or wall hanging
14:58.2
15:03.0
we have given glass oriented wall hangings here
15:03.1
15:07.9
Even the little details like flower vase and glass
15:08.0
15:12.8
all has the teal color concept.
15:12.9
15:23.2
One side is the bedroom also has a Tv unit
15:23.3
15:28.1
with a cabinet and a storage space that is opposite to the bed
15:28.2
15:33.0
Another section of the bedroom is the dressing and wardrobe area.
15:33.1
15:37.9
You can see the huge two sliding wardrobes here
15:38.0
15:42.8
There is also a provision to a sitout here. During the daytime you can have a beautiful view
15:42.9
15:51.0
On side of the dressing area has a etched mirror design.
15:51.1
15:59.2
Everything goes along with the entire house's walnut and white theme.
15:59.3
16:04.1
If you see in the false ceiling, we have given the cutout panels
16:04.2
16:09.0
with the same etched mirror design repeating there
16:09.1
16:13.9
We have set it with lighting to create special effects.
16:14.0
16:23.9
We will see other bedrooms now. There are two bedrooms that get access from the living room.
16:24.0
16:28.8
Bedroom two had a different orientation given by the builders.
16:28.9
16:33.7
the vasthu was not right and the wardrobe was also very small.
16:33.8
16:38.6
they have given a built in wardrobe on the side.
16:38.7
16:43.5
We removed the built-in wardrobe and gave it a beautiful study area.
16:43.6
16:48.4
We re-oriented the bed and as I said every room should have the maximum wardrobe
16:48.5
16:53.3
So, we have made a entire wall as a complete wardrobe.
16:53.4
16:58.2
So, huge storage upto 13ft is available in this room
16:58.3
17:03.1
The concept of this room is rust and gold
17:03.2
17:08.0
So, the accent of rust color will be reflected in the curtains
17:08.1
17:12.9
cusions and wall hangings.
17:13.0
17:25.0
The gold accent is also given in the wardrobe, bed panel, and in many areas.
17:25.1
17:29.9
The design of the bed is also done in the floating concept. It is done in gold and white color
17:30.0
17:34.8
The light also gives the floating effect.
17:34.9
17:44.2
Another specialty of this bedroom is that the wallpaper will be given for two walls
17:44.3
17:49.1
behind the bed using gold color theme
17:49.2
17:54.0
We have a mild gold wallpaper in this room to accent the theme
17:54.1
18:04.8
It gives a beautiful appearance. Opposite the bed we have a study table come dressing table with a mirror
18:04.9
18:12.4
They have already given a wardrobe there. We removed it and gave a study area
18:12.5
18:17.3
From this bedroom also there is a nice sitout
18:17.4
18:22.2
It gives a beautiful view. Let's go into bedroom three.
18:22.3
18:32.8
It gets access from the living room. The concept of this room is done using grey, silver, and blue.
18:32.9
18:37.7
The grey theme is very popular and at least one room is done using it.
18:37.8
18:42.6
We have also done flooring to match the style of the room.
18:42.7
18:47.5
We have given grey flooring and wallpaper in light metallic blue color
18:47.6
18:57.8
The light paneling behind the cot gives a floating effect along with the shimmering look of the wallpaper behind.
18:57.9
19:02.7
The whole room looks very aesthetic and beautiful during the night.
19:02.8
19:12.9
The grey and metallic theme runs in the false ceiling and the cot
19:13.0
19:23.6
You can also see it in the wardrobe. At the same time, we have also given the touch of walnut finish here also.
19:23.7
19:35.0
As the theme is uniform. In one end of the wardrobe, we have given a dressing niche with large drawers below.
19:35.1
19:39.9
We have taken inspiration from the USA model to design this dressing table instead of the normal ones found in India.
19:40.0
19:44.8
It also comes with a mirror finish.
19:44.9
19:49.7
It looks so nice. Next to that, we have two sliding drawers.
19:49.8
20:00.8
Usually, we provide the wardrobe with white color or mirror finish. Because it won't be highly dominating like all other bright colors.
20:00.9
20:05.7
Opposite to the bed has a small Tv unit.
20:05.8
20:10.6
We haven't fixed the Tv in the photo yet.
20:10.7
20:15.5
There is no sitout in this bedroom. Now let's go into the kitchen.
20:15.6
20:20.4
In this Kitchen, mainly the client wanted a very traditional touch.
20:20.5
20:25.3
The whole apartment is done in the contemporary style
20:25.4
20:32.3
Since they asked us, we have designed it in traditional elements.
20:32.4
20:37.2
You can see the cabinets has the traditional wooden finish.
20:37.3
20:46.5
Eventhough it is also done in the American walnut style, the design patterns are more traditional.
20:46.6
20:51.4
Most kitchen will be in the contemporary style
20:51.5
20:56.3
Since they asked us, we made it differently. It also came out very well.
20:56.4
21:01.2
The chimney, and its hood all has the wooden accent in it
21:01.3
21:06.1
We have customised it that way
21:06.2
21:16.3
Opposite of that, we have the built-in high. We do it in all kitchens now. I will make a separate video of kitchens.
21:16.4
21:28.0
We have given built-in tall units. So, there is no need for separate storerooms. This will give you adequate storage space.
21:28.1
21:32.9
As a part of the tall unit, we have given two ovens.
21:33.0
21:37.8
Microwave ovens are very essential nowadays to reheat food.
21:37.9
21:42.7
Another one is the OTG oven for baking cakes.
21:42.8
21:47.6
We have given two side by side to provide more space in the tabletop. It looks very neat.
21:47.7
21:52.5
In all kitchens, we do this.
21:52.6
21:57.4
The air conditioning in the kitchens has become very normal, we have done that here too.
21:57.5
22:02.3
The false ceiling is also very important in all the rooms.
22:02.4
22:07.2
The interior cost of the false ceiling is also very low. It is only 10 percent.
22:07.3
22:12.1
It adds a lot of value to the house and the interior.
22:12.2
22:17.0
It helps in concealing the lights and all. We have also given this false ceiling in the kitchen.
22:17.1
22:21.9
We have designed it in a traditional pattern using beige and brown theme.
22:22.0
22:26.8
Instead of leaving the wall white, we have given light brownish color.
22:26.9
22:31.7
It is very easy to maintain if in case of smoke in the kitchen.
22:31.8
22:41.5
So, we have designed it like that. The flooring is done in a light color to give contrast to the dark-colored wooden theme of the kitchen.
22:41.6
22:46.4
So, we have given light colored glossy tiles.
22:46.5
22:51.3
In this apartment, the builder had given a very different flooring pattern. We changed all that
22:51.4
22:56.2
and used imitation Italian Marble.
22:56.3
23:01.1
We have used the glossy vetrified tiles here.
23:01.2
23:06.0
That is what you are seeing. This is a 4x4 title.
23:06.1
23:15.3
There are certain company's tiles that are very flexible and once you lay, you cannot find out the joints. We have a specific technique for that.

The only problem with the vitrified tiles is that even if any micron thickness differs, you can easily find out.
23:25.6
23:34.0
We can find out that it is not marble. In the method we use, we use certain company's tiles.
23:34.1
23:38.9
I will tell you later during the separate video for tiles.
23:39.0
23:49.4
Since we have laid such tiles, you can see the homogeneous Italian marble look. It is also very cost-effective.
23:49.5
23:54.3
When compared to the Italian marble this is just half the cost.
23:54.4
23:59.2
And the main convenience is that we were able to complete the finishing very fast.
23:59.3
24:04.1
We have done another trick in the flooring. When you enter the house,
24:04.2
24:12.8
from Verandah, the steps and flooring are also done using the real Italian Marble.
24:12.9
24:21.4
From the main door when you enter the foyer, we have used Italian marble on the floor and sides.
24:21.5
24:29.9
From the foyer to the dining area, the artificial tile starts.
24:30.0
24:34.8
For the smooth transition, we have given a black marble here.
24:34.9
24:44.8
Once you have seen the Italian Marble, the imitation tile - Diana also looks very much alike.
24:44.9
24:49.7
It is a 4ft tile. It is given for the entire house
24:49.8
24:54.6
It gives the feeling of having Italian marble for the entire house. That is why we have given the Italian marble in the beginning.
24:54.7
24:59.5
You will get the natural look.
24:59.6
25:04.4
So, it is a very cost-effective solution. There is also a small study room
25:04.5
25:09.3
in this house. It is a very small room. One side has a study table
25:09.4
25:14.2
with two chairs and glass cabinets for books.
25:14.3
25:19.1
There is a prayer niche in the corner.
25:19.2
25:24.0
They haven't fixed any pictures yet.
25:24.1
25:28.9
It is a small prayer niche in one part of the study room.
25:29.0
25:33.8
It co-orinates with the rest of the design of the house.
25:33.9
25:38.7
In this study, we have the same theme as the entire house
25:38.8
25:43.6
two walls are painted and the other two have wallpaper finish.
25:43.7
25:53.8
If you change the wallpaper, you get the new theme for the house and the finish also differs.
25:53.9
26:01.7
It bores us very easily. The interiors are not like olden times now.
26:01.8
26:06.6
The 100 years old tradition is not practiced now and all.
26:06.7
26:11.5
The interiors now are mostly designed to last for a maximum of 15 years.
26:11.6
26:16.4
The interior we do will last for more than 35 years. There is no doubt about that.
26:16.5
26:21.3
But the trend to last 15 years is doubtful.
26:21.4
26:27.7
The curtain, wall hanging's change will give a new look to your house.
26:27.8
26:32.6
That is the main concept of our design in most of the houses.
26:32.7
27:10.8
27:10.9
27:15.7
That is all about the Penthouse Villa. We have seen the details in this episode.
27:15.8
27:20.6
We have designed more such villas and houses.
