An architectural composition in Amritsar where we utilize a glass grid to create a dialogue between the internal lounge and the external garden.

The exterior of the Lord Elgin Glasshouse, a striking green structure surrounded by vibrant flowers. The design immediately establishes the brand's identity as a lush, garden-like escape.

A video tour of the interior, showcasing the interplay of light, pattern, and texture. The space is a symphony of printed fabrics, warm wood, and the ever-present greenery visible through the glass walls.

The grand, double-height interior, where a brass-clad bar canopy reflects the light from the glass ceiling. The scale is dramatic, yet the seating arrangements create intimate, comfortable zones.

A cozy seating nook, where a custom-printed sofa and chairs are set against the backdrop of the garden. The design blurs the line between the interior and the exterior.

Sunlight streams into the space, highlighting the rich textures of the fringed armchairs and the plush sofa. The atmosphere is one of relaxed, sun-drenched opulence.

About Lord Elgin Glasshouse: An Opulent Oasis

The design relies on a rigid glass grid that acts as a structural rhythm, allowing us to segment the expansive interior into intimate, sun-drenched seating zones. The choice of deep green lacquer and teak wood creates a dialogue between the internal environment and the external garden, effectively blurring the boundary between the built form and nature.

We are a Delhi-based practice committed to the study of spatial narratives. For us, architecture is a conversation between the history of a site and the function of the present, creating spaces that feel as deliberate as a composed room.
