The tiny passage leading into the rooms is lined with storage cabinets that blend effortlessly into the walls. In the master bedroom, a low lying box bed with pullout drawers, concealed shelves in the wall behind the door and a hidden shelves outside the bathroom store the essentials. Leaving almirah tops bereft of boxed cabinets. Frosted glass with a mounted mirror segregates the bathroom. An extension of the black and white colour scheme, this section has a louvered window to bring in the sunshine and houses a spacious loft that shares a dual opening with the passage beyond.

A sliding door separates the children's bedroom from theirs. "As it stays open most of the time, there is effective cross ventilation throughout the house," says Sonal. With the immediate closet in this room of the same veneer as the main bedroom, the second bedroom comes across as a visual extension of a single united space. Accomodated at the other end of this room is a generous study table built into the wall and a pull-out couch cum bed. Camouflaged shelves in the wall revealed by the sliding door hold ample books.

Sensible and spacious. That's how Sonal and Rahul conceived their home -- "A simple white shell where our kids bring in the colour."
