"Studio Nilasha's latest villa in Hyderabad, India - Grigio Verde - proves that a monochromatic gray home doesn't have to feel sterile or uninspired. Here, the studio transforms 6,000 square feet of shadowy tones into a richly layered retreat, building an atmosphere that's textural and serene, turning the absence of color into its own kind of luxury. From the moment you approach the gray, black, and white residence, there's a sense of stepping into a thoughtfully curated world."
"Inside, the monochrome palette expands into a study of materials: concrete walls with a velvety matte finish, dark marble underfoot, brushed metal details, and warm wood accents that elevate the minimalist design. "Our client had a strong vision - a home that felt minimal, dark, and masculine. That's where the idea for a monochromatic palette began," shares Nilasha. "We fused this with our studio's signature understated aesthetic, while drawing subtle cues from industrial design.""
The Grigio Verde villa in Hyderabad occupies approximately 6,000 square feet and uses a gray, black, and white monochrome palette to create a layered, serene atmosphere. Exterior stone steps and soft planting lead to an entrance that balances sculptural form with grounded materials. Interiors combine velvety matte concrete walls, dark marble flooring, brushed metal details, and warm wood accents to add texture and warmth. Strategically placed openings bring natural light that shifts gray surfaces from silvery to moody throughout the day. Public living spaces flow together with rust and ochre furnishings, while a central foyer features a perforated black-railing staircase that displays a motorcycle.
