From the moment one enters, the house reveals a narrative of curated elegance. The bar and office areas are composed with restraint and refinement, echoing the client’s appreciation for exclusivity and purposeful design. These spaces exemplify how utility and luxury can coexist without compromise, setting the tone for the home’s overarching design language.

The Sawan Residence Sets a New Benchmark for Contemporary Design Homes | altARQ
The entrance to the Sawan Residence sets the tone for the entire home—a space where detail and atmosphere converge. Subtly embedded within the foyer is a zen garden, an unexpected and poetic gesture that offers a meditative pause upon arrival. This tranquil feature, housed within the floor itself, signals a home designed not just for living, but for feeling. The foyer blends clean architectural lines with soft materials, creating an ambience that feels grounded, elegant, and deeply personal.
The living hall is a masterclass in quiet opulence. Understated yet undeniably luxurious, the space leans into neutral palettes, plush furnishings, and tactile finishes to create a setting that is as welcoming as it is elevated.
Thoughtful lighting and streamlined forms ensure the area feels expansive yet warm—a place for both intimate family moments and gracious hosting. Additionally, it reflects the home’s overall design ethos: refined, contemporary, and rooted in comfort.
Shared spaces like the dining room and kitchen are designed for connection and ease. The dining area extends the visual language of the living hall with clean lines and a refined material palette, while the kitchen stands out as an expression of function meeting finesse. More than a workspace, the kitchen is a visual delight, tailored to the homeowner’s cultivated tastes.
For work-oriented needs, the office and bar zones are composed with restraint and sophistication. These rooms reflect a refined utility—spaces that balance exclusivity with clarity of purpose, embodying the client’s lifestyle without compromising on aesthetics.
Private rooms within the residence speak intimately of their inhabitants.
The master bedroom is a sanctuary of understated glamour—subtle textures, warm lighting, and uncluttered luxury converge to create a space for rest and retreat.
In contrast, the daughter’s bedroom bursts with vibrancy. Bold lighting and playful color accents give it a youthful energy, showcasing how design can mirror personality. Moreover, designers tailored each private space with sensitivity, ensuring function and identity find equal ground.
The home’s most unexpected delight lies in its quieter corners. The zen garden in the foyer acts as both sculpture and spirit—a gesture of introspection embedded into the daily rhythm of life. Courtyards, balconies, or transitional spaces like the powder room are not treated as afterthoughts but are elevated through layered materials, striking textures, and expressive design choices. These moments of surprise and pause transform the home from a functional dwelling into a lived-in story of elegance and intention.
