Drawing Room – Grand Yet Grounded

The drawing room in the Fokira Pool duplex wasn’t just meant to impress—it was meant to embrace. It merges simplicity with scale, creating an environment that is open yet warm, modern yet inviting.

✨ Extended Highlights:

• Walls are finished in a soft white matte, reflecting light and enhancing volume perception

• Vertical wooden paneling adds depth and breaks visual monotony without overwhelming

• Hidden storage beneath low counters ensures the space remains clean and clutter-free

• A wall-mounted art piece and décor lights give personality without noise

🎯 This space sets the tone for the duplex — elegant, thoughtful, and free of excess.

Family Living Room – Where Comfort Meets Calm

This family living zone is the heart of the home - designed to host laughter, discussions, and downtime.

✨ Extended Features:

• A custom floating TV unit becomes the focal point, hiding wires and creating visual neatness

• Sectional L-sofa with soft cushions offers flexible seating for both relaxation and informal gatherings

• Large windows invite sunlight, while dual-layer curtains offer light control

• Accent ceiling grooves host strip lights that cast a warm, cozy hue during evenings

• The walls remain minimally decorated to highlight volume and airiness

This space is more than functional - it’s emotionally centered around the family’s shared time.

Kitchen – Functional, Open & Efficient

The kitchen in this duplex was created with the working family in mind -streamlined, bright, and smartly equipped for modern needs.

✨ Extended Design Insights:

• Glossy white upper cabinets reflect both ambient and task lighting, amplifying brightness

• Lower cabinets in wood or light grey matte finish provide visual grounding and durability

• Vertical tall units house the fridge, oven, and microwave to minimize footprint

• A wide countertop workspace allows meal prep without clutter

• The backsplash in white tiles acts as both visual break and easy-clean surface

• Soft-close drawers, hidden bins, and pull-out baskets optimize every inch

A kitchen like this doesn’t just cook—it completes the lifestyle.

Master Bedroom – Minimal Luxury for Relaxation

The master bedroom in this Fokira Pool duplex was crafted as a private sanctuary -a space where simplicity meets sensual softness.

✨ Detailed Design Features:

• The headboard is upholstered in a light neutral fabric that invites rest

• Bedside lamps with golden accents and dimmable warm LEDs create a hotel-like mood

• A sleek floating vanity cum study counter saves floor space while adding style

• Wardrobes with matte finish shutters offer full-height storage without overwhelming the room

• Full-length curtains on wide windows offer complete blackout and elegance

• Accent wall in soft greige tone defines the bed zone, adding depth without color chaos

This space proves that luxury doesn’t mean loud—it means intention, balance, and peace.

Guest & Common Bedrooms – Practical & Peaceful

These bedrooms were designed with multi-purpose functionality in mind. Whether for an elderly parent, a child, or occasional guest—each room maintains comfort, flexibility, and modern aesthetics.

Guest Bedroom:

Each room blends beauty with practicality - no space wasted, no design exaggerated.

Staircase – The Sculptural Connector

In duplexes, staircases often break visual flow. But here, the stairs are a feature of continuity and calm.

✨ Design Choices:

• Wooden treads with non-slip finish create natural warmth

• LED strip lighting on one side adds function and futuristic appeal

• The solid black railing balances the light color tones of walls and steps

• Subtle curves in railing avoid sharp breaks, ensuring harmony

Entrance & Side Views – The First Impression Matters

They say first impressions last - and this duplex takes that seriously.

✨ Entrance Features:

• A clean-lined front door framed by subtle lighting

• Wall-mounted nameplate and soft exterior tiles

• Potted plants for greenery without mess

✨ Side View (Facade):

• Neutral paint + wooden textures maintain minimalism

• Balconies with metal railings and planters

• Straight geometry reflects the theme inside

What Made This Duplex Special?

Why is this project more than just a design showcase? Because it's built around real life, real problems, and real families.

✅ Zoned Lighting Strategy:
Each floor and space was planned with activity-specific lighting—relaxation zones, task zones, and ambient zones.

✅ Noise-Dampening Design:
Ceiling cavities and fabric layering helped reduce echo—essential for homes in Dhaka city.

✅ Low Maintenance Finishes:
From washable wall textures to anti-fingerprint laminates—this home stays elegant with minimum upkeep.

✅ Family-Centric Thinking:
Each room was planned based on actual use—guest stays, kids’ routine, elderly access.

✅ Smart Storage Innovation:
No corner wasted—storage beneath beds, inside walls, and even behind headboards.

✅ Zero-Clutter Visual Approach:
Clean ceiling lines, inbuilt lighting, and minimal hardware = visual peace.

This duplex wasn’t just decorated. It was designed to be lived in beautifully.

Challenges We Overcame

Every great design solves real problems. Here are 3 key challenges that tested the team—and how Vivid Interior solved them:

1️⃣ Unaligned Civil Walls in Bedrooms

Problem:
Some structural walls were not in perfect line—making wardrobe and panel installation visually awkward.

✅ Solution:

• We used custom laminate wall panels with vertical grooves

• Created optical alignment using 3D wall segmentation

• No need for heavy reconstruction = time & cost saved

2️⃣ Low Natural Light in Staircase Area

Problem:
The stairwell felt dark and uninviting during the day.

✅ Solution:

• Added warm LED strip lighting along the stair side

• Introduced a top skylight concept for vertical sunlight entry

• Now the stairwell feels airy, modern, and safe

3️⃣ Storage Demands vs Space Limitation

Problem:
The family needed more storage than typical designs offer.

✅ Solution:

• Added bed-back drawers and headboard niche storage

• Used floating wall-mounted cabinets for visual lightness

• Designed full-height built-in wardrobes in each bedroom

These solutions made the duplex not just pretty—but practical for real urban life.
