Slow luxury
The residence is located in the serene part of Delhi, far removed from the city’s bustling center. Drawing inspiration from slow and artful living, the space was designed to encapsulate luxury as well as foster a profound connection with nature.
Design Philosophy
Through a series of discrete modifications, the design seamlessly integrates new and existing areas with minimal intervention to the residence’s structure. The layout prioritizes the creation of spaces for social interaction and entertainment. From thoughtfully designed nooks to inviting entertainment areas, every aspect of the space has been curated to encourage meaningful interactions and engaging conversations. The project’s approach abandons conventional luxury and embraces the concept of ‘slow luxury.’ Aesthetically, this is a crossover between the quintessential Italian and French influences found in the choice of furniture and the subtle infusion of Indian and Japanese influence through carefully curated artworks.
Interior Layout & Materials
Sculptural lighting and versatile furnishings along with an innovative lime-wash technique are used throughout the space. The master bedroom features panoramic views framed by large windows as well as rustic stone walls that complement the selection of refined furniture. The lounge and formal dining room are designed with great attention to detail and functionality. At the center of the communal space, a magnificent eucalyptus log is used as bar stands, finished with the Japanese burning technique known as Shou Sugi Ban. Adjacent to the bar, parts of the plaster are demolished, exposing sections of the brick wall, and adding a rugged elegance to the overall space. Artwork is thoughtfully positioned throughout the residence along with an array of vases and planters that serve both as functional vessels and captivating sculptures.
Landscape Design
One of the property’s standout features is its magnificent old trees, which served as a source of inspiration during the design process. The landscape design incorporates natural elements and embraces the property’s unique surroundings, serving as a testament to its natural beauty. The carefully laid paths have a natural and organic feel that define different spaces around a green-tiled pool. Thoughtfully chosen outdoor furniture and unique handmade clay planters, doubling as sculptures, offer an additional touch of slow luxury.
