Behind the grand gates of this Gurugram residence lies more than architecture—it is a statement of legacy and hospitality. Spread across 6,500 sq ft, the home marries scale with intimacy: high ceilings, a sweeping staircase and a dramatic stone-inlay entrance set a majestic tone, while courtyards, carved woodwork and lush verandahs soften the composition and invite everyday warmth. The original exterior—retained and refreshed—anchors the home in its history, while interiors are reimagined to encourage long conversations, shared meals and effortless hospitality.
For this Gurugram residence, we preserved the original exterior while giving it a refined modern touch. Interiors were redesigned for flow, with grand drawing rooms opening into verandahs and courtyards that invite light and greenery. Natural stone inlays, carved woodwork, and layered lighting add timeless character, while thoughtful detailing ensures the home feels both majestic and welcoming.
Preserving the exterior maintained the home’s identity and history. We refreshed materials and details so the façade reads modern without losing its original character—offering the best of both legacy and contemporary comfort.
We balanced scale with human-scale zones: grand volumes are complemented by layered seating, intimate courtyards and practical storage—so the house impresses and functions beautifully for daily life.
Yes—careful coordination was essential. We routed services through discrete chases, used compact systems where possible, and integrated lighting and HVAC into ceilings and joinery to preserve carved surfaces and sightlines
Carved timber benefits from gentle dusting and occasional oiling; natural stone inlays should be cleaned with pH-neutral products and resealed periodically; courtyard planting needs seasonal pruning and irrigation checks.
Absolutely. The core ideas—layered seating, courtyard light, a focused material palette and crafted joinery—translate beautifully to smaller footprints. It’s about proportion and intent, not just scale.
