Editor’s Note: With a facade that takes its artistic inspiration from the derivative of jaalis and bricks, the house shows its liking for carved surfaces. The grooved paneling takes precedence while the occasional splash of blue is very fresh. The private spaces tell a personal story of character, persona and tastes. ~ Nishal Sevak
