The Curious Brief

 The idea of having a cosmopolitan boutique abode that blends modern comforts and Indian culture was a thought shared by the couple who moved from Delhi to Indore to be closer to their daughter.

A resolution to create a mirage that would reflect traditions yet keep up with the trends was contemplated in this abode, There is an aura of elegance that lingers through the artworks displayed on the walls, creating a synergy between new and old.

Tour every turn of the home… 

Sauntering through the vestibule, bathed in neutral tones is the greet room overlooking the Ralamandal wildlife sanctuary. The natural light filtering through the balcony’s sliding door enhances the room’s features, such as the white French panels spread over the parallel walls, which have a pinch of gold leafing in their floral motifs.
