Living Area
The one requirement, our homemaker had from the very first meeting was a traditional swing in her house, where she could sit and enjoy a cup of tea. “Our aim was to make the feature the swing as an epicenter of the living area with all elements working to compliment it,” says Vanya. While the swing was selected with intricate brass carved chains, paying homage to our resident’s devotion to Indian craftsmanship, a contemporary color palette was carefully infused with the fabrics and wall paneling.
Dining Area
The focal point of the dining room is a massive window that stretches from floor to ceiling, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the space and offering breathtaking views of the outer landscape. The window is adorned with beautiful drapes that gracefully cascade from top to bottom.

The essence is best captured with natural light pouring through the large windows in the room, truly a serene space.
