A MELD OF CONTRASTS

The interiors are a combination of indigenous materials, starting with a pure white makrana flooring with brass inlay work, a grey and brown neutral base on the walls and solid teak windows with louvers that run as a central theme throughout the house, evoking a sense of nostalgia.

"Colour pops and textures are introduced in the soft furnishings and furniture, adding a youthful vigour to the entire space.

The distinct functions of the drawing room, dining area and kitchen flow one into the other, at the same time maintaining their individual space and purpose." Bharti Sikri, Principal Designer, LAD Studio
