The designer staircase provided with automated lights adds the elegance wherein glass railing makes the space looks colossal. The vintage looking hanging wall clock maintains affinity with the theme along with serving its purpose.
Mandir- the soul of the house is separated with fluted glass door and the bell detailing giving it the divine energy.
