The journey into this refined residence begins in the lift lobby, where an antique brass Ganesha sculpture sets the tone for a spiritually infused narrative. A monochrome inlay floor leads to a grand arched wooden door with beaten brass handles, which opens into a stunning circular foyer
The main living space is designed for both grand gatherings and intimate cultural evenings. Layered in a monochrome palette and accentuated with brass and marble, it features distinct seating zones, a striking antique Radha-Krishna figurine, and a Bhagavad Gita centerpiece.
At its heart lies a grand piano, illuminated by a pearl-inspired fixture by Hive Home. Taking inspiration from Tansen’s performance platform at Fatehpur Sikri, a black marble stage surrounded by water transforms this room into a sophisticated venue for private concerts and events.
A set of art deco brass mesh sliding panels leads to the formal dining room—a dramatic space centered around a custom 12-seater Lapis Lazuli dining table. Above, a bespoke glass chandelier by Klove Studio fills the space with jewel-toned elegance.
Discreetly hidden behind sliding mesh panels lies an Oxford-inspired library. Warm, rich woods, vintage brass artifacts, and an awe-inspiring collection of books define this deeply personal zone. A leather poker table, tan Chesterfield sofas, and crocodile-textured faux leather furniture enhance the room’s layered character. Hidden within the cabinetry is a concealed bar and projector screen, making it a perfect blend of intellect and leisure.
Each bedroom in the home is designed to reflect the unique personality of its occupant while maintaining a consistent language of understated luxury. A cohesive blend of textures, muted tones, and elegant materials defines the private spaces.
From soft whites and gold accents in the master suite to sage greens and walnut finishes in the mother’s room, the design palette is both serene and expressive. Subtle Indian influences, custom furniture, and thoughtful detailing ensure that every room feels like a personalised retreat while staying true to the overall design narrative.
Inspired by the architectural beauty of Rajasthan’s havelis, the powder room is a bold, immersive space crafted to leave a lasting impression
The design begins with a striking gold infinity mirror and leads into a vaulted ceiling painted in rich indigo. Marble dado walls contrast beautifully with gold-fluted panels, while carved blue glass wall lamps housed in niche mirrors enhance the regal atmosphere.
This home is far more than a luxurious apartment—it’s a living narrative of culture, elegance, and identity. Studio Design Inc. has masterfully orchestrated a composition that merges grandeur with intimacy, and tradition with timeless design. Every corner tells a story. Every material echoes purpose. This residence stands as a true testament to the power of thoughtful, soulful design.
