At Studio Suba, we relish the chance to partner with homeowners who have a vision and an open mind. 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.

One of the project’s key challenges was to incorporate extensive storage solutions that cater to the family’s diverse needs. We designed specialized storage units for linens, shoes, toys, ties, purses, stoles, bangles, and dupattas. Each unit is seamlessly integrated into the overall design, ensuring a harmonious look throughout the apartment. These solutions not only meet practical needs but also enhance the home’s aesthetic appeal.
If the essence of this house had to be captured in a single word, it would be “homely.” Every space is meticulously crafted to be both functional and inviting, avoiding any design elements that might become eyesores.
