This modern common area design within a 1550 ft² apartment in Dhanmondi, Dhaka demonstrates DIT Studio’s ability to create cohesive, multi-functional shared spaces. The design integrates a formal dining area on a raised wooden platform, an elegant foyer with a wash basin feature, and a living room accessed through a grand folding partition — all unified by a consistent palette of whites, warm walnut wood, and gold accents with sophisticated ceiling treatments throughout.
The modern common area design is a perfect blend of contemporary elegance and functional sophistication. This space features large, polished tiles that reflect light, adding a sense of spaciousness. The walls are a mix of neutral tones and textured finishes, providing a sophisticated backdrop. The dining area includes a rectangular table with upholstered chairs and a stylish chandelier. Built-in cabinetry with glass doors offers ample storage and display space. The living area has a cozy seating arrangement with plush sofas and a coffee table. Mirrors and glass elements enhance the sense of openness and light, making the common area feel expansive and inviting.
Foyer with Wash Basin and Living Room Partition View
The spacious foyer area features a floating wash basin vanity with a fluted cream cabinet, white vessel sink, and a stone countertop, set against a grey striped marble accent wall. An oval gold-framed mirror hangs above. To the left, a grey fluted wall panel holds a second oval gold-framed mirror above a framed artwork. Through a grand opening with white classical pilasters, the living room is visible — a walnut bi-fold partition door is partially open, revealing a TV mounted on a floral wallpaper wall with a gold candelabra chandelier and a walnut floating TV console. A brown five-blade ceiling fan hangs from the recessed tray ceiling with warm LED cove lighting. On the right wall, framed black-and-white line art of horses and a framed abstract piece decorate the space. A walnut door provides bedroom access, and a walnut vertical display shelf holds small decorative items.
Raised Dining Platform with Green Velvet Chairs
The dining zone sits on a raised walnut hardwood platform, clearly defining the eating area. A white-topped dining table with angled legs seats six emerald green velvet bucket chairs. The table is set with clear glassware and a small floral arrangement. Above, a gold orbital sphere chandelier-fan combination hangs from a recessed ceiling tray with warm LED cove lighting. Along the back wall, a walnut sideboard with a cream stone countertop holds a black microwave. Above, walnut-framed glass-door upper cabinets display crockery. A black-and-white abstract photograph hangs on the right wall. Dark charcoal curtains with white sheers dress the window. A walnut door with vertical groove accents leads to adjacent rooms.
Walnut and White Sideboard with Glass Display Unit
A detailed front view showcases the full sideboard and display cabinet wall. The lower cabinet features walnut wood panels flanking three central white drawers, topped with a light cream stone surface. A black microwave and a small plate sit on the counter. Above, eight glass-fronted cabinet doors — the outer ones in walnut frames and the inner ones in white frames — are illuminated by internal spotlights. They display a curated collection of grey vases, champagne flutes, white mugs, stacked plates, and decorative bowls. Gold accent trim lines the walnut frames.
Fully Set Dining Table with Pendant Lights
This front-facing view captures the complete dining setup. The white-topped table is set for six with blue-rimmed plates, teacups, and silver cutlery. A glass water jug, vase with greenery, and a bowl of fresh green lemons form the centerpiece. Two gold orbital pendant lights flank a traditional bronze ceiling fan, all suspended from the cove-lit ceiling tray. The sideboard and display cabinet are visible behind. A framed black-and-white horse drawing hangs on the left wall. The walnut platform transitions to grey marble tiles.
Hallway with Wash Basin and Refrigerator Alcove
The hallway view shows the central wash basin station with its fluted cream vanity, white vessel sink, and oval gold-framed mirror set against the grey striped marble feature wall. A tall green potted plant in a white planter adds life to the corner. To the left, a dark grey side-by-side refrigerator with an ice and water dispenser is tucked into a dedicated alcove. A walnut door with frosted glass panels leads to the kitchen. The recessed tray ceiling with warm cove lighting continues, and a brown five-blade ceiling fan provides air circulation. To the right, the living room entrance is visible with a beige upholstered armchair and a framed abstract artwork. A walnut-slatted entry door and a framed decorative piece occupy the right wall.
Wash Basin Feature and Living Room Entry
This angle provides a closer look at the wash basin area and the grand archway leading into the living room. The floating fluted vanity with its vessel sink and small decorative vase is mounted below the oval gold mirror on the striped marble wall. A tall green plant stands in the corner beside the opening. Through the white classical-columned archway with its walnut bi-fold partition doors, the living room is visible, showing a beige armchair, blue and black abstract art prints on the wall, and a gold candelabra chandelier. The ceiling transitions between different zones — a warm LED-lit tray in the hallway and a wooden-slatted accent panel over the living room archway. A framed monochromatic art piece hangs on the wall between the zones.
