Partnering with a multigenerational family, including a young couple, their child, and the grandparents, the design team Madhuja and Sagar (Studio Suba) masterfully crafted an earthy interior design that creates a warm, inviting sanctuary where each corner speaks of thoughtful design and functionality.
