The living room at the Gurugram residence: pale sofas and armchairs around a
                low marble table, panelled walls with a damask panel and a wall light,
                curtained windows down the left side.

Gurugram Residence

The Social Spaces

These spaces are designed around the rhythm of gathering, making living, dining and entertaining flow into one continuous experience.

Layered materials, considered proportions and controlled natural light create an open yet intimate environment. The architecture is quiet so that everyday life becomes the subject.

The dining end of the main room: an oval table laid for six under a
                  coffered ceiling, the living seating beyond it and a damask panel
                  set into the wall behind.
The living room from the dining end: an abstract canvas over a dark
                  sideboard on brass legs, pale seating around a low table and a
                  mirrored partition at the far side.
The kitchen as drawn: a galley run in cream and walnut with a marble
                  splashback, wall cabinets lit from beneath and a tall fridge at the
                  near end.
The kitchen as built: sage green base units under a cream counter,
                  white wall cabinets above and a marble floor running to the fridge
                  in the far corner.
The bar: a dark marble counter below black-framed shelving lit from
                  within, glasses hung under the lowest shelf and a mirrored bottle
                  cabinet alongside.

The Private Spaces

The private rooms are more interior, softer, more tranquil, more personal. Each room combines function with a sense of retreat through the use of warm materials, restrained detailing, and carefully framed views.

Here, architecture is more about creating a sense of belonging than about making a statement.

The master bedroom: a buttoned upholstered bed on a deep blue rug, a
                  painting centred above it and a pair of armchairs by the curtained
                  window.
A second bedroom: a white bed against a panelled wall with brass
                  reveals, two glass pendants hanging beside it and an abstract canvas
                  above the headboard.
The master bedroom from the door: the television set into a timber
                  wall opposite the bed, with the armchairs and the window beyond.
The children's room: a mint upholstered bed, cloud-shaped open
                  shelving holding toys, patterned wallpaper and a marble floor.
A bedroom finished in green: full-height panelling behind a white
                  bed, patterned bedlinen, a white nightstand and marble underfoot.
The bathroom: a brass-framed mirror on a marble wall above a floating
                  vanity, a wall-hung WC beside it and a black and white geometric
                  floor running under both.

The Details

Often, the character of a home lives in the smallest gestures. The larger composition was considered in every detail from sculptural partitions, geometric lighting to crafted storage, reflective surfaces and intimate corners.

Such moments give the interior its personality, quietly but unmistakably.

The corridor: a continuous line of light cut into the ceiling,
                  running past the doorways towards the daylight at the far end.
A partition set with organic mirror cut-outs of varying sizes, beside
                  a fluted timber panel, dividing the corridor from the living room.
The pooja: a gold Om sunburst cut into a backlit panel above a white
                  marble ledge holding the idols.
The bar close up: the marble counter, the glasses in their rail and
                  the circular motif set into the lit shelving above.
The balcony: two faceted rabbit sculptures on a patterned floor
                  behind a glass balustrade, with the trees of the street beyond.
The living room as handed over: deep blue velvet sofas and a floral
                  armchair drawn round a glass table, against the panelled wall and the
                  marble floor.
A child's bedroom: a teal upholstered bed under cloud-shaped joinery, a
                  rounded chair beside it and the wardrobes in pale green behind.
A bathroom: a yellow basin set on a timber vanity dotted with coloured
                  discs, the tap and shelving above it in black.
The bar at an angle: the stemware hung in its rail under the lit shelf,
                  the marble counter running out below it.
