Located in the serene and peaceful city of lakes, Bhopal, commanding expansive views of sunset sky hues, lies ‘Utsav’ , a charming contemporary design residence by Kulveer Singh of Architect K Atelier. Utsav is a striking embodiment of a mixed bag of distinctive identities that coalesce to form a unique space. It is flamboyant, yet quiet and elegant. The project identifies most with the idea of juxtaposition, and therefore, the home is a dynamic blend of Indian sensibilities and muted color palette.

A prepossessing lotus canvas painting hand painted by local artisans adorns the front wall. The centerpiece is a banding textured wooden table , accentuated by a contemporary chandelier.
