The client requested an elegant interior design for a calm, clutter-free home that promotes relaxation, emphasises natural light, and uses a neutral palette. They desired functional luxury, with elements of nature incorporated into the interiors.
Every home has a story, and this one began almost a year ago when the house was still under construction. A large back window framed a beautiful mango tree, planted by the client nearly 25 years ago with his daughter. Today, that very tree stands tall as a centrepiece of what has now become our client’s Tranquil Nest.
This penthouse, located in the heart of New Delhi, embodies warm, inviting, and personalized spaces designed for gathering family and friends. The interiors feature earthy tones and natural materials, creating a serene yet elegant retreat.
