A project defined by textures, where pink terrazzo meets warm teak and whitewashed brick to create a home that feels open, light, and deeply lived-in.

The living room of the 'House of Skye' combines a simple, sophisticated material palette: a whitewashed brick wall, warm herringbone wood floors, and comfortable, modern furniture.

About Project Showcase: House of Skye, Bangalore

One detail that completely changes how this space functions is the modular teak shelving unit in the living area. We built it with interchangeable boxes so the shelves can be reconfigured as your collection of books or travel souvenirs grows, rather than forcing you to live with a static, fixed layout.

This is the heart of House 111, an award-winning project where we designed a home around an open-to-sky courtyard. The ancient olive tree serves as a living sculpture, grounding the modern architecture and blurring the line between indoors and out. It’s a space for pause and stillness, bringing natural light and a sense of calm into everyday life.8
For the living room at The Collector's Retreat, I wanted to create a space that felt both curated and deeply comfortable. The bold red sofa adds a burst of energy, while the layered textures, art pieces from the client's collection, and oversized plants come together to tell a rich, personal story. This is a room designed for lively conversations and quiet afternoons.
In this master suite, the four-poster bed creates an intimate sanctuary within a large, open room. I chose a botanical wallpaper to serve as a dramatic, artistic backdrop, adding depth and a connection to nature. It’s a perfect example of how we design multi-functional bedrooms that are not just for sleep, but for living and retreating.
We believe homes in Bangalore should breathe. Here, the dining space seamlessly opens up to a lush, landscaped garden. By using large sliding doors, we made the outdoors an integral part of the dining experience, creating a beautiful, ever-changing backdrop for family meals and gatherings.
