House Of The Month

around nature. The space had peacocks and other birds and plenty

of beautiful trees. Wanting to feel that you were away from the city

would come if the building too had an unconventional design.

Block like structures would not give that feel. The exterior views

were important, hence everything in my design revolves around

the exteriors. The large windows and skylights were created to

connect the exteriors to the interiors. The interior is very simple and

uncluttered to keep the focus on the exterior. The design details in

the interiors were subtle, but carefully planned to create a feeling of

luxury without making a noise about it. The mediums used in the

interiors were again planned to blend with nature and whisper class

and luxury. Both the design and mediums were carefully planned to

achieve a clear focus - timeless luxury that revolves around nature.”

A Walk Through

You walk into this space through an arched cast iron gate, which has

beautiful creepers growing on it. The landscaping is beautiful, which

has peacocks and plenty of birds all around. The wooden deck and

the informal sitting room faces the pool, and it has been created on

site with old restored wood. The deck further leads to the outdoor

dining area. The outdoor dining area has a beautiful brick ceiling.

Genuine old antique fans have been used and old brass or ceramic

light switches have been used. The stone panels in the outdoor dining

area are old pieces again. The chairs are antiques in the open dining

area and the table was designed by the designer. The informal sitting

area or sun room has the pool on one side, the lily pool on the other

and the large Buddha water body and garden on the third side. The

passage near the Buddha water body leads to the powder room and
