I design homes to be sanctuaries, not just living spaces. By blending raw, organic materials with minimalist lines, I create environments where you can find true 'sukh and sukoon' and reconnect with the quiet beauty of nature.

A close-up of the live-edge dining table, showcasing the raw, natural beauty of the wood. This piece is the heart of the dining space, with its organic form contrasting beautifully against the clean lines of the Japanese-style seating and the polished marble floor.

This unique, suspended Japanese-style seating nook is a perfect corner for quiet contemplation or tea. Supported by solid wood pillars, it feels like it's floating, creating a light and serene space within the home.

A tranquil prayer and devotion nook designed within a living area. The space is framed by a simple arch and soft curtains, with a hammered metal art piece serving as a spiritual focal point. It’s a perfect example of integrating sacred spaces into daily life.

This expansive living room is designed for a feeling of openness and calm. The lime-washed walls, polished marble floors, and minimalist lighting create a serene canvas. The sculptural ceiling fans and custom wall lights act as functional art pieces.

In this powder room, I combined a rough, natural stone wall with smooth, wood-paneled surfaces. The custom pedestal sink and large circular mirror create a bold, modern statement, turning a functional space into a ritualistic experience.

This guest bedroom features a custom-designed, backlit wall mural with abstract botanical patterns. The earthy tones and soft lighting create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, while the low bed adds to the minimalist, grounded feel of the room.

A detailed view of the bathroom vanity, featuring the hand-carved petrified wood sink. This piece is a work of art, bringing an ancient, natural element into the home. It is paired with a simple wooden console and an organically shaped backlit mirror.

A quiet corner in the bedroom, featuring a custom bench with abstract fabric and a sculptural floor lamp with feather-like details. The circular backlit wall feature creates a soft, halo-like glow, adding to the room's serene and artistic ambiance.

A sneak peek into my own bedroom design. It features a custom circular bed, neoclassical wall moldings, and a bold striped rug. This space is a blend of classic elegance and modern drama, with warm, layered lighting creating a cozy and luxurious feel.

A concept for a Zen tea room, inspired by the philosophy of Tadao Ando. The design uses a suspended low table, floor cushions, and a slatted wooden screen to create a space for silence and reflection, letting sunlight and nature be the main characters.

About Serene Residential Retreats

I don't just furnish a room, I sculpt it. My process relies on tactile finishes—like signature lime-wash walls, raw stone accents, or custom-carved wood—to transform a standard bedroom or living area into a sensory experience. If you are looking for a space that trades urban clutter for calm, we should talk about how to bring these organic, timeless textures into your home.

I’m Akshay. I see every home as a blank canvas waiting for a soul. My studio is a playground of mud, wood, and gold leaf, and I pour that same raw, hands-on energy into every residence I design to ensure it feels like family.
