The main entrance immediately transports us into an ageless design indulgence. The old wooden doors have been retained with stylized modifications and new polish. The foyer console table has been retained as a reminder to the glorious past of the historical architecture. However an art piece has been added to enrich the ingress into this classic living space.
The staircase marble was changed for better endurance further adornment. The entire stairwell has been dotted with precious artwork from across the globe.
As an appurtenance to the grandeur of the space, a touch of blue was added with a huge aquarium incorporated in a window box. To illuminate the beauty of the space and enhance its vintage feel, there are a number of classical light fixtures as high as on the double height ceiling that brighten up the area. The old balustrade has been refurbished for longevity and style.
The entire first floor lobby is embellished with intricate wooden curved designs. The minty colour gives a fresh pastel feel and finish.
The master bedroom has been made picturesque with rustic furniture that have been customized and specially ordered from Nivasa Home, Delhi. The expanse of the room has been blanketed with rich carpets ordered from the 100 year old carpet company, Obeetee.
