Recognized Design Projects and Press Features
Our work has been featured in leading publications like Architectural Digest and Elle Decor, reflecting our commitment to quiet luxury and thoughtful interiors.
We love revisiting old features, and this one from Architectural Digest India will always be special. It covers the story of a heritage home in Bengaluru we reimagined with a progressive, contemporary lens while holding on to its soul.
A shot from our AD India feature, showcasing a master bedroom with a teakwood four-poster bed, sea-green velvet armchairs, and a high, sloping ceiling with teak rafters.
From the same AD India feature, this is the prayer room, lit by an expansive skylight. The space features a traditional Indian 'charpoy' daybed, Pichwai art, and antique brass artifacts.

Thank you Architectural Digest India for the feature. This image shows the arched niche in the living room, which anchors artifacts collected by the family, including a Jamini Roy painting.
An excerpt from our Elle Decor feature on a tri-generational Bengaluru home. The article highlights how we charted an intriguing story in the space, awash in neutrals with pops of patterns.
So thrilled to be featured in Living Etc magazine. This was a lovely Q&A with me on my go-to hardware choices, from timeless finishes to unexpected favorites.
About this collection
When Architectural Digest featured our work on House No. 55, it highlighted our approach to sensitive renovation. We transformed a 30-year-old heritage structure into a modern gallery, preserving family treasures while introducing contemporary flow. Our design method remains rooted in this same intentionality: listening to the history of a space before defining its future.
Recognition in publications like Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, and Living Etc serves as a mirror to our design philosophy. These features demonstrate that a space should not just be visually pleasant; it must communicate a feeling of stillness and quiet luxury. Whether we are reimagining a heritage home in Bengaluru or styling a modern high-rise, our focus remains on creating a sense of order and warmth.
Our process involves a deep dive into the needs and history of the client. In our featured projects, this manifests through the thoughtful arrangement of family artifacts, the strategic use of natural light, and the selection of materials that age gracefully. We move away from transient trends to focus on timeless elements—wood, stone, linen, and layered textures—that make a home feel lived-in and deeply personal.
We design for the long term. This means prioritizing functional layouts that allow for easy movement and maintenance, ensuring that our projects remain beautiful years after the initial setup. If you are looking for design support that values your personal story as much as aesthetics, our team is ready to collaborate on your residence.
