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.

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.
