RESIDENTIËLE RUIMTES

Designed for a culturally rooted couple—with one hailing from Uttar Pradesh and the other from Maharashtra—the home delicately weaves together diverse regional identities through materiality, symbolism, and spatial storytelling. Designed for a culturally rooted couple—with one hailing from Uttar Pradesh and the other from Maharashtra—the home delicately weaves together diverse regional identities through materiality, symbolism, and spatial storytelling. At the heart of the design lies a contemporary interpretation of classic Indian sensibilities, expressed through a refined, minimalist approach. Every corner of the residence reflects an intent to celebrate Indianness—not through ornamentation, but through thoughtful expression. The palette and palette draw generously from the subcontinent: natural stones, traditional carvings, inlay work, and time-honored crafts sourced from Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh. All furniture was custom-designed to harmonize with the spatial narrative, marrying form with function. Brass, rich woods, marble, and carved sandstone breathe authenticity into the interiors, echoing the textures and tones of traditional Indian architecture. A standout feature is the pool area—an homage to the architectural geometry of India’s ancient stepwells—creating a quiet oasis of reflection and retreat. Another anchoring element is the Tulsi Ghar, a sacred symbol in Maharashtrian homes. Positioned with reverence, it forms a spiritual axis visible from multiple key zones: the entrance, living and dining areas, master suite, and the central common space—quietly grounding the home in ritual and rhythm. This residence is more than a physical space; it is an embodiment of identity, culture, and evolved aesthetics. It reflects a life where heritage meets aspiration—where design uplifts everyday living while holding space for memory, meaning, and mindfulness. The result is a home that resonated deeply with the clients and their community—inviting admiration, evoking nostalgia, and affirming the timeless beauty of Indian design through a modern lens.
