Architectural Moments in Modern Indian Homes
We treat staircases and courtyards as punctuation marks in a home. These spaces do not merely connect levels; they anchor the mood, reframe light, and shift the energy of a room.
An overhead view of the spiral staircase at the Urban Hearth residence. Crafted in matte black metal and polished wood, its form is a gentle, turning ascent that anchors the double-height space while maintaining a sense of lightness and air.
The spiral staircase at Urban Hearth is seen here alongside a custom shelving unit and a cascade of pendant lights. This composition shows how we design different elements to interact and create a cohesive, dynamic interior.
The spiral staircase at the Baid Residence is a study in elegant contrasts. The warmth of the terracotta-painted wall and the wooden steps is balanced by the cool, sleek finish of the blackened steel structure and honed black granite floor.

This video reel showcases a variety of our staircase designs, from floating wooden steps and sculptural spiral forms to grand marble stairways. It highlights our belief that staircases should be central, artistic features of a home's architecture.
The main staircase at the Bammi Residence is a beautiful interplay of materials, featuring grey marble steps with brass inlay and a warm wooden handrail. The design is clean and modern, yet feels timeless and elegant.
An intricate Sanjhi paper-cut screen by artist Vijay Kumar Verma is installed at the landing of the main staircase. This detail transforms the stairwell into a gallery, celebrating traditional Indian craft within a contemporary architectural context.
About this collection
When we design a staircase or a transition, we stop thinking about function and start focusing on sculpture. A flight of stairs becomes a matte black steel spine that defines a double-height volume, or a marble and brass installation that dictates the flow of light through your home. We approach these elements as the most critical anchors in your floor plan, ensuring they tell the same story as your furniture and art.
These moments define how you move through your home. Whether it is an open-to-sky courtyard in a Gurugram bungalow that pulls nature into your living space or a Sanjhi paper-cut screen that transforms a landing into a gallery, our design philosophy remains consistent. We strip away the unnecessary, leaving behind structures that are honest, tactile, and deeply rooted in local materials like honed granite, terracotta, and wood.
Many homes suffer from wasted transition spaces, and we solve this by treating every square inch as a design opportunity. If a structural column gets in the way, we turn it into a fluted, organic feature. If a stairwell feels dark, we introduce light installations that act as focal points. Our work in Delhi NCR and across India has consistently focused on this idea. We invite you to view our work not just as interiors, but as architectural narratives that we have composed for our clients. Every project we take on is a new dialogue, where we listen to your needs and respond with design solutions that are as practical as they are striking.
Untitled Design
Amrita Guha and Joya Nandurikar lead Untitled Design with a clear focus on the soul of a space. We believe that interiors should be a conversation between tradition, light, and the people who live within them. If you value a home that feels like it has a history, we should talk.
