Talking about the material palette, it’s basically shades of greys and browns and more of the textures, as the original texture of the material has its own language.

Dining of Bethel by Greenline Architects

The open dining area closest to the stair is well-ventilated and light-filled, with access to the outdoor swimming pool. The wide path that leads to the pool makes the dining space more spacious and provides a nice breeze to enjoy while having the food. The ‘last supper frame’ and the fabric finish in the ceiling is the highlight of this space. Teak wood makes up every single piece of furniture in the eight-seater dining room. The open-plan layout of the common areas abstains from a conventional partitioning with walls in favour of split levels.

Upon stepping up into the first floor, one would cease to notice the passages looking out into the courtyards through its openings. The first floor look out through its bay windows and openings covered with different screens to open the plethora of its magnificent views. The rustic and vernacular, yet modern clean lines that set the character of the handrails are evident through the amalgamation of wood on metal over the steps and the screens on windows.
