The project was realised through the amalgamation of two 4-BHK apartments into a thoughtfully planned 6-BHK residence for a joint family comprising two married sons, a daughter, a grandson, and visiting guests. The programme included five family bedrooms, a guest room, a media room, a dining area, a kitchen, a servant’s room, and a box room. While the parents curated all common spaces, each child was granted complete freedom to shape their individual bedroom.
With a legacy rooted in art collecting, the family’s deep appreciation for artworks became the defining narrative of the home. Design discussions were centred more on artists and placement than on materials and layouts. In a reversal of the conventional approach, the interiors were crafted around the art collection, allowing it to lead the spatial and aesthetic language throughout.
The lift opens into a private lobby adorned with plants and sculptures, setting a contemplative tone. A teakwood main door with a brass handle introduces a foyer where works by K. G. Subramanyam, ceramic plates by Jyoti Bhatt and Jyotsana Bhatt, and sculptural pieces create a layered visual experience over Jaisalmer stone flooring and a Kashmiri silk carpet.
The living room, formed by merging two original spaces, has been divided into formal and informal seating zones. Acting as the central circulation spine, it features a custom teakwood inlay within the flooring and a niche displaying a commissioned brass console. The space extends into a balcony designed around the lady of the house’s 30-year-old bonsai collection, with custom planter stands and intimate seating enhancing the retreat-like ambience.
The dining area is positioned behind the living room, with a sliding wooden partition allowing the guest room to function as a spill-over space. Custom brass dining chairs and a teakwood table anchor the setting, while curated artworks continue the narrative.
Each bedroom reflects its occupant’s personality—from the calm, neutral master suite to the daughter’s rustic retreat, the elder son’s minimal modern room, the younger son’s dark and plush setting, and the child’s playful, space-efficient bedroom.
A lounge connecting three bedrooms and the media room serves as a shared family zone. The media room, furnished with C-shaped seating, leather recliners, and custom lighting, doubles as a comfortable space for entertainment and togetherness.
