This Versova home is a veritable feast for the eyes, with light apple-green walls greeting you as you enter into the living room. The grid unfolds underfoot, inlaid in marble and punctuated by amoeba-like forms that are muted green, complimenting the bolder colour of the wall. The flooring is accented by coral geometric forms that are also echoed on the ceiling. The grid leads us to the dining area where coral marble crawls upwards as the legs of the dining table, and appears as inlaid motifs on the tabletop that are meant to represent the family\u2019s beloved board games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Grids are a fundamental part of design.
