Modern Luxury & Sophistication Shapes This Anand Home | Hiren Patel Architect Design
The journey into the home begins long before the entrance. A semi-covered metal walkway winds through the lush gardens, with water features and sculptures thoughtfully placed on either side, creating an immersive arrival experience.
As the landscape flows across the grounds, the architecture emerges. Clad in natural mint stone, it offers the home a timeless aesthetic. Volumes are carved to welcome light, casting gentle shadows that change throughout the day. Some spaces open up with balconies and others with wide windows that frame the landscape. Then there are others that recede inward to create quiet courtyards and private terraces.
As one journeys through the landscape, they arrive at the entrance porch. Grand wooden doors stand at the threshold, opening into a foyer that feels both open and welcoming. A courtyard sits directly ahead, framing the first view from within.
It serves as a reminder that even when indoors, nature is always close. Above, a warm wooden ceiling stretches outward, seamlessly extending into the passageways that lead deeper into the residence. Sleek marble floors, high ceilings, and finely crafted furniture set the tone for the refined spatial experience that awaits inside. Throughout the space, intricately detailed artwork and handpicked decor lend a sense of heritage and craft, balancing tradition with contemporary luxury.
Walking along the passage on one side of the foyer, a sculptural staircase comes into view. Staircases are signature elements of HPA’s design philosophy, and this is no exception. Crafted from rich sheesham wood, the staircase rises in a double-height space, enveloped in glazing that frames sweeping views of the surrounding landscape.
Past this statement feature, the private spaces begin – the parents’ room, the master room, and the children’s room. Each is designed as a self-contained retreat, complete with a personal courtyard, a cozy lounge, and a restful sleeping area.
Materials and textures flow naturally from one room to another – hand-knotted carpets anchor the spaces, soft velvets and hand-stitched fabrics lend a plush elegance to the furniture, and rich wood accents add depth and warmth. Every layer comes together in a masterful composition to enhance the home’s opulence.
The master bedroom connects to the children’s room with a private courtyard – a thoughtful intervention by the designers to allow for adaptability in the future as the family’s needs evolve.
The daughter’s bedroom is itself a space of joy and energy, with soft fabric elements, vibrant colors, and plenty of room to move around in. Its design mirrors the vibrancy of childhood, offering both a personal haven and a space to grow into.
Beyond the bedrooms, the home once again opens into a grand double-height area that houses the dining space. Here, an ornate fabric artwork stretches across the full height of the space. When paired with the magnificent glass chandelier overhead, it adds to the depth and character of the interiors. Beneath it, a classic dining table anchors the room, surrounded by finely crafted chairs that balance elegance with comfort.
The interplay of textures – rich upholstery, polished wood, and delicate glass – creates a layered and inviting atmosphere. As we retrace our steps to the other side of the foyer, we arrive at the pooja space, where intricately handcrafted marble elements create a sense of quiet grandeur. Soft natural light filters through glass windows, connecting the space to nature and enhancing its serene, almost ethereal quality.
Moving along, the home opens into a series of inviting spaces – the formal living room, an informal lounge, and a home theatre – each designed for different ways of gathering. The formal living room feels elegant yet welcoming, with soft linen sofas, a striking wood and glass coffee table, and carefully chosen décor that adds character.
Large windows bring in natural light and offer wide views of the landscape, making the outdoors feel like part of the space. The informal lounge, on the other hand, is warm and relaxed, with deep, comfortable seating, textured rugs, and wooden details that make it feel cozy – a perfect spot for unwinding with family and friends.
On the first floor, three bedrooms are designed with a cohesive aesthetic, each offering elevated views. A common lounge connects them, providing a shared yet intimate space. The highlight of this level is the infinity pool, lined with beautifully veined stone.
Its water catches the changing light, mirroring the sky above. Positioned for privacy, it stretches toward the horizon, offering a quiet retreat that feels both grounded and endless. A serene courtyard nearby enhances the sense of openness and calm.
At the rear of the house, a gym, bar, office, and an additional lounge offer spaces for both work and leisure, balancing everyday needs with moments of escape with modern luxury. This home isn’t just about design – it’s about living. Every space feels considered yet effortless, from the way light moves through the rooms to the seamless connection with nature. It is a place of comfort and quiet luxury, where architecture, materials, and landscape are seamlessly woven together. More than just a house, it is a home where nature becomes the invisible thread, binding spaces, moments, and experiences into a harmonious whole.
