Our Signature Design Stories and Featured Projects
A collection of homes that blend modern living with timeless Indian craftsmanship, reflecting the stories of the people who live within them.
This home temple in Hyderabad is a testament to the power of bold design rooted in tradition. The vibrant red walls, entirely hand-painted by master artists from Jaipur, create a space that is both meditative and awe-inspiring, showcasing how color and craft can evoke deep emotion.
In this master bathroom high above the Mumbai skyline, luxury meets drama. A vintage red Murano glass chandelier hangs over a custom marble spa bath, creating a romantic and intensely personal retreat with an unparalleled view of the city.
Powder bathrooms are my canvas for playful storytelling. Here, a hand-painted mural of a cheetah brings a touch of the wild indoors, complemented by a classic checkerboard floor and a gilded mirror, creating a whimsical yet elegant escape.
For this Mumbai high-rise residence, the living room was designed to frame the magnificent sea view. I used a mix of custom-upholstered furniture in rich patterns and a large-scale Pichwai painting to create a space that is sophisticated, comfortable, and deeply connected to its surroundings.
First impressions matter. In this Hyderabad foyer, what appears to be a beautiful, hand-painted art panel is actually a concealed shoe cabinet, blending functionality with the intricate beauty of Indian miniature art to create a stunning and practical entrance.
This bedroom for a young lady embraces her love for blush pink and French-inspired design. The space is a delicate balance of playful sophistication, with soft textures, pinstripe wallpaper, and elegant furniture creating a light, airy, and personal sanctuary.
History and craft are woven into this versatile family room through large sliding doors made from reclaimed Portuguese-Goan window panels. These beautiful shell panels filter light while telling a story of Goan architectural heritage, adding soul and a sense of history to a contemporary home.
Color is a powerful tool that can completely transform a space and evoke emotion. This is a quick glimpse into my use of unexpected color theory across various projects, from bold accent walls to vibrant textiles, each chosen to breathe life and personality into a home.
About Featured
My design process begins with a conversation about your history, not a standard mood board. Whether we are finding a place for your family heirlooms or commissioning master craftsmen to hand-paint a mural in your temple, the focus is always on building a space that functions for your daily life. These projects illustrate how we integrate custom joinery and traditional motifs into contemporary floor plans, ensuring your home is both comfortable and distinctly yours.
Design is, at its core, an act of storytelling. For me, the most successful homes are not the ones that follow the latest trend, but the ones that preserve the personality of the homeowner.
My approach to residential interiors involves a modern traditional fusion. We often work on full-scale renovations in Mumbai and Hyderabad, where we take high-rise apartments and infuse them with warmth using reclaimed materials, like the Goan shell panels you see in some of my family room designs.
The Human Touch in Design
Every home I work on usually includes a layer of hand-crafted detail. This might be a hand-painted ceiling in a prayer room, a custom-designed wardrobe with intricate motifs, or simply the restoration of a vintage chair that has been in your family for generations. These elements are what give a space soul.
Practical Luxury
While the aesthetics are important, I pay equal attention to the logistics of modern living. My team provides full technical support, from 2D furniture layouts that respect Vastu principles to GFC drawings for civil work and electrical looping. Whether we are transforming a master bathroom with marble cladding or creating a concealed shoe cabinet that doubles as wall art in a foyer, the aim is to hide the complexity of construction behind a beautiful, functional surface.
If you are looking for a space that balances luxury with a sense of calm, I invite you to share your story. Let us see how we can turn your house into a home that feels exactly like you.
