About the Project

When homecoming and nostalgia entwine fingers, all roads lead towards a place that personifies belonging. This home’s remodel was for a family that had lived overseas for decades, returning to their homeland, Madras. The dwelling anchors an amalgamation of a bright, airy layout with a modern European aesthetic and vintage Deccan charm. 

White champions the visual landscape within, nodding to the family’s carte blanche beginning in their home country. Colour appears in curated doses, debuting significantly in textiles, surface finishes, and art. The open, all-white kitchen reflects the family’s ardour for cooking and functional luxury. 

The resting spaces are balanced sanctuaries that combine the client’s personality with a calm, collected aesthetic. Colour is employed in a way that conjures both impact and comfort.
