About Project: House Nandini (Contemporary & Spiritual)
When we set out to design House Nandini, the challenge was keeping the space open while honoring the family's deep spiritual roots. By using a light, neutral palette as our base, we allowed the ornate mandir and traditional Pichwai art to stand out as focal points rather than feeling heavy or out of place in a modern apartment.
We believe a home should reflect the soul of those who live in it. For this project, our clients wanted a contemporary interpretation of Vrindavan—a place of calm and cultural resonance, but without the visual clutter often found in traditional homes.
The layout centers on flow. We used large-format marble flooring to unify the living and dining areas, creating a seamless, airy passage. To ground the space, we incorporated warm teak wood in the joinery and furniture, such as the sculptural dining table base. This provides a rich contrast to the soft white walls and grey-toned seating.
We intentionally selected a few meaningful pieces, like the rattan swing and traditional wall art, and gave them space to breathe. The bathroom design, featuring a bold blue vanity against grey stone tiles, offers a refreshing pop of character that stays true to our signature style. For anyone looking to blend traditional elements with a modern aesthetic, the secret is curation. Do not try to fill every corner. Select the pieces that truly speak to your family's story, and let the rest of the architecture remain simple, clean, and functional. This project shows that you can have a space that is both spiritually grounded and effortlessly stylish.
