June 18, 2018 By Rutvi Ashar Photography: Ouyang Yun; courtesy AD Architecture Black in its bewitching tones embodies contemporary luxury, whilst providing a sensory experience; as AD Architecture endorses this apartment with an archaic philosophical bent… In the search for the original, the designers employ the concept of the 'origin of texture', introducing a raw natural feel to this predominantly monochrome home.
